Autel IM608 Cannot Read Benz W215 EIS Password Solution

 Problem:

Autel IM608 XP400 pro reads Mercedes Benz W215 EIS data with no problem but cant calculate password.
Try all connection methods via can via k line with g box without g box but no luck
How to read password for this type EIS?

Solution: 

Autel IM508/IM608 can’t read password for w220/215 via tablet/gbox.

Some of these w215 can only be done with eeprom on the board. If the board has 2 big 64 leg chips you will have to remove one and read data.

Way 1: 

Solder wires and read it with XP400pro. Eeprom mode only. Soldering by diagram for w215.

First, remove the back cover and unscrew the two bolts. Keep in mind that they are of different lengths; if you install them incorrectly during reassembly, you may damage the processor.
Next, check which processor you have and note whether it is a single processor or if the EZS has two processors. Some models may use the MC9S chip.
Then, go to the XP400Pro menu, navigate to the immo section, select Mercedes-Benz, find your chip, solder it, and read the Dflash.
After that, you can upload that data in Expert mode to retrieve your password, which will allow you to create a key file.

 

Way 2: 

Use other tool, sometimes you need to remove and read processor for that type of EIS.

Xhorse key tool plus will read password from W215 EIS with EZS/EIS adapter.

For example:

2005 Mercedes S430
W220/W215
Motorola 4L40K
Read & Write
EEPROM+Flash Successful.

Autel IM508 Adds Mazda CX-50 2023 Smart Key

 2023 Mazda Cx-50 add key successfully with Autel IM508.

Autel Im508 under cx-30 (add key guided) will read P Flash, calculate passcode and add key. Use aftermarket key.

There was no cx-50 option and auto identify failed. But going under cx-30 worked liked a charm.

Program Mazda CX-5 2024 Smart Key by Autel IM508

 Anybody done a 2024 Mazda CX-5 Add key using Autel IM508? Does it need any additional equipment?

Here is the clue.

For CX-5 before 01/2022, Autel, OBDSTAR and SmartPro devices will add key without pin code.

For example:

2021 Mazda CX-30 new key added with autel im508s. It took around 15-20mins. Used aftermarket OEM looking key – no key error on cluster. Battery support required.

 

For 06/2022+, it depends if the software on the vehicle has been updated if car has been to dealer recently. Still 50/50.

If the car has not been updated at dealer,

Autel: Yes, Autel can do it. It will require incode/outcode. You should get a pin from NASTF and it would/may still leave the security light on.

When you use an Autel/Xhorse universal key will have the immo light on unless you copy the key ID from the working key. A cheap aftermarket key will cause the light also. Use OEM only. Also make sure you maintain the battery while programming.

Smart Pro:

According to Silca SmartPro can do it. smart pro bypass the incode on 2023. They have listed it up to 2024. 2024 model you still need to get the pin code.

Smart pro bypass the incode on 2023.

OBDSTAR:

OBDSTAR G3 now supports both add key and all keys lost for 2018-2024 CX-5, requiring pin code.

Example: OBDSTAR G3 program CX-5 2024 all keys lost via OBD.

If the car has done dealer updates, do it with MDRS dealer software and pin with NASTF.

If it is 2024 Mazda CX-90, it is similar to CX-30. It should be done via MDRS with pin code.

 

There is another way to make a new key to CX-5 if it has ID6A proximity key. You can clone 6A smart key using Xhorse key tool max.

It works. but the safe way is to clone an aftermarket key to xhorse XM38 smart key, not clone original key to xhorse key.

Autel IM608 2020 Range Rover Remote Start Not Working Solution

 Problem:

Tried to program all keys lost on 2020 Range Rover Evoque with Autel IM608, replaced RFA with new genuine module and 2 new genuine keys. Everything successfully programs but keys not working for remote start or lock/unlock. Intermittent code saying initial configuration not complete??

Solution:

1. The RFA needs to be configured online with JLR Pathfinder/Topix (dealer-level software).
This downloads the correct as-built data from Jaguar Land Rover servers and writes it to the module.
Without this step, the car doesn’t “trust” the new RFA fully.

2. After successful configuration, erase codes and re-learn the keys if needed.

3. Only after this, remote lock/unlock and remote start will function.

Autel IM608 Program 2025 Nissan Kicks Smart Key with APB131 and CAN FD Adapter

 Here is the user's working experience on Nissan Kicks 2025 smart key programming using Autel IM608. 

2025 Nissan Kicks smart key WITHOUT Consult4! 

First try: IM608+ 40 PIN Cable + APB131 adapter.

When I first came to the vehicle I extracted the pin code within the HFM via eeprom, but I didn’t realize that there is no OBD communication even with the Nissan 40 bypass cable and so was not able to program the extra remote.

This time I came more prepared, I had wiring diagrams of the body control module to pinpoint where the CAN pins are. I realized this vehicle has both Can and CanFD pins and probed both pairs separately. 

When hope began to run dry success struck!

The combination that worked was probing the low speed canH and canL while also having the Autel CANFD adapter connected AND going through 2024+ Pathfinder.

So, extract PIN via eeprom, and then connect the Autel's CANFD adapter's CAN H+L pins directly to the vehicles CAN H+L lines, instead of thru the OBD (used a chrysler bypass cable for the CAN probes, bypassing firewalls), and attempt process selecting Pathfinder 24.

It has also been verified that consult3+ does NOT connect to the vehicle or pull the vin number. 

Hope this helps somebody.

It doesn’t say it reads code. Autel has always been able to do them when you get the code from 3rd party.
They added the programming function for newer models till 2025, you will still have to get pin code from 3rd party.
It’s always just been easier to use sps2
and the 2 hour wait is still there with code from 3rd party.
