I don't want to learn the next key, let's see if it works.

This is the new key, and I press the "Unlock button" it can start the car, nice.

So. Success. As you can see, you did not need to connect the programmer, you can directly connect Autel IM608 to the Chrysler via OBD.

Autel IM608 J2534 Write VIN to Ford used PCM Module

Vehicle model example:
Ford F-250 2001 super duty

Problem:
Not able to write VIN on the used PCM module after PCM replacement.
ford-f250-pcm

autel-im608-ford-f250-write-vin-1
Device used to program:
Autel MaxiIM IM608 & MaxiFlash J2534 (The module is in default package)

FYI:
Normally IM608 alone can do this procedure.  All you need to do is click programming and look for a programmable module installation (PMI) which is a sequence in that the software will save all the original PCM’s information in IM608, then prompt you when to put the replacement module on it. Next it will then transfer all the information to the replace module.
With this vehicle 2001 F-250 it does not have this functionality on the IM608 so to do this procedure will be using J2534 with the OEM subscription.

Procedure:
Go to Ford Diagnostic Menu->Auto Scan->Programming->Programmable Module Installation

The Autel IM608 does not have the “Programmable Module Installation” feature, use Ford’s OEM software to complete the programming task.
Purchase Ford day subscription from Ford Service Info website
