Title: Wanted K-20 Personality Key
Post by Tom Roberts on Aug 29^th, 2011 at 1:20pm

Does anyone have a spare Snap-On K-20 personality key?

Will purchase or trade for K-19.

Just looked no extra K20. Do you have Euro if it is a matter of accessing CAN maybe one of the Euro keys could work? I also think the can adapters for the old bricks also came with a K20 might be an option as well if somebody has one stashed.

Sam,

Actually i needed it for this 95 Subaru Legacy we discussed in Therapy last time.

Looked it up on the Snappy site and the description for a K-20 is BMW S-28 OBD Personality Key. After checking with my resources at Snap-On that description on the site is incorrect.

Mick,

I did get some keys from you. [smiley=dankk2.gif] Don't remember which ones but some I didn't have and maybe one I did since I now have two K-19s. No K-20 tho.

Tom - theres three on ebay right now - have seen them go for around 20-30 bucks. Heres a link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Snap-On-Scanner-MT2500-Solus-Modis-Personality-Key-K-20-/300593487007?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item45fcc49c9f#ht_500wt_961

I dont know if you do ebay but they have buyer protection -so you wont ever get ripped off. I only had to use the protection once but they were responsive and fast.

Just go in and type in snap on k20 key. There one listing ending in three hours. Its best to bid at the last minute. (im a ebay bid sniper) ;D

Hope this helps. They have a sh**load of personality keys on there for reasonable prices.

K20 for a 95 Subie does not sound correct. Did you try a K2? K20 and K2 will interchange for the most part pre CAN. I am not sure you missed much though early Subaru appears to be generic but not labeled generic with a Snap On scanner.

I think the newer software indicates only the K20 key and not the K2.

Hello Tom,

just curious, is there any additional test results or info that you can share about the Subaru?

Thanks,

dave

Dave,

We'll put it all together when we collect some more stuff. What we looked at in Therapy really told the story though. There really was only one possibility ;)

Tom,

OK.

I thought maybe on of the "Seven Sisters" reared her ugly head and threw in a new twist :D

Thanks,

dave

Ever get this key Tom? Just screwing around on the new site, looking in the classifieds to see if I should re-post my Solarity :D and came across this thread. I think I may have one at the shop, let me know, I'll check tomorrow.
