On the 2018 successful PIN extract...yes pre-2019 support is definitely there in some cases...it was spotty as around that time, this "new" CEM was introduced, cars with the "mid spec" CEM would get the old one, and cars with the "Hi spec" CEM would get the new one. This is why I integrated it into OrBit...I can't possibly keep track! The way to know for sure, is read which CEM type is in the car. So OrBit will be the "source of truth"...if it works it works! The good thing is that same CEM is used right up to 2023 in most all Volvos and Polestars, as well as the latest 2024 CEM looks to be supported, with only a few models in some markets getting a different, newer "mid spec" CEM variant, which I have yet to see if we can support, but I am sure the release will help me find those user/cars. Bottom line lots of the cars out there are supported to extract the security PIN, not all of them, but most of them!
The "MS" keys...the only way that I know to tell is the FCC ID printed on the keys, inside the case, under the key blade on the normal fob, and on the fob shell of the buttonless "sport key". Older keys FCCID is YGOHUF8423, the Motion Sensor keys are YGOHUF8423MS.
I don't know about the origins of Aliexpress keys, but I would look for that, or the brand and model number is in the FCCID, HUF 8432 or HUF 8432MS.
I like to buy the used keys from EBay to stick to OEM. To me the key fob itself doesn't really wear other than the shell, which I swapped from existing keys for some of them. Put in a fresh battery and good to go.
I also wasted my time watching a CR2032 battery test on Youtube...boring as shit lol, but if you care, Toshiba brand the longest lasting that are cheap and easily available on Amazon.
