Auro OtoSys IM100, IM600, Autel MaxiIM IM508, IM608, XP400 Diagnostic & Key Programming Tools manual, software, car list and technical support.
Problem:
When I was using Autel IM608 II to program BMW and trying to update the G-BOX3, it failed and prompted:
“Update GBOX error! Press OK to retry. Otherwise, press Cancel.”
Here’s the error page, any ideas?
Solution
1. Power off and power on the Autel G-BOX3 again, reconnect the cables & engine module for reading more times. Try a few more times.
2. If the step1 does not work, please upload the data log for help.
Here obdii365.com takes you through the process of making keys for an Audi when all keys are lost using the Autel IM508/IM608 with the XP400 and the new APB131 adapter.
This is an Audi A5 2013. It is all keys lost. This BCM is encrypted. This is going to require the removal of the BCM2 in order to obtain the immo data.
Remove the BCM from the vehicle, open it up soldering to the contacts on the board, read the BCM immo data using that data to generate dealer key, then reinstalling the BCM back into the vehicle, after that learn key via obd.
Check the detailed procedure:
Get the BCM2 out of the trunk. It is located back here inside the wheel.
Disassemble the BCM2 module and put it on table.
We will read the immo data with APB131 adapter. This adapter is not required to read this BCM however it does make the job a little bit easier.
*If without APB131 adapter, you can read BCM2 encrypted immo data with Gbox 2/3. It is more complex than apb131. Check: Audi BCM2 encrypted Gbox procedure.
Then we select V860 locked (dump). The chip type is going to be the D70F3634 that’s noted by the MCU or microprocessor.
Hit Read chip data via programmer.
Autel gives us wiring diagram of how to set up our APB131.
Connect the programmer with the APB131 adaper and the module with reference to the method shown in the figure.
Connect the programmer to the 12V DC power adapter check if the indicator light on the xp400 is green.
If the indicator light is red, check that xp400 pro is powered on before connecting to the apb131 adapter.
We have got APB131 adapter soldered up.
It is reading data. It only took a couple minutes. Save the chip data.
Select Calculate IMMO data. Select the file we just saved.
Decoding success. Save immo data.
We are going to generate dealer key. Select Load IMMO data.
There’s our CS code.
Then select Make Dealer Key.
Insert key to be programmed into the xp400 pro programmer.
Generated dealer key success.
We are back over at car and installing the BCM2 module back to vehicle.
Then start the process of key learning.
Select Key Learning.
The number of keys we want to learn is going to be 2.
Stick the key into the slot. Now Autel IM508 wants us to input the CS code.
We’ve got the CS code type in.
Hit okay. Then place each key to be learned in the key sensing area.
Pull the key out.
Then we put our second key in. You can hear the steering unlock.
Key learning process completed.
Done.
We already how to repair a BMW FRM module using Autel IM608 XP400 in the past. But it is a manual way. Today we will show a new method to repair BMW FRM Footwell module with Autel without coding/programming afterwards.
Check the detailed guide to repair FRM through manual way.
The downside of the manual way is that:
It will bring FRM back to life is then writeable either by writing a file through a programmer or installing in the vehicle and doing actual programming via OBD.
There is a issue that when it does the repair it basically leaves it prop to this actual vehicle VIN and that it came out of. You will install it and you will get the operation back as far as like lights and windows but it won’t be 100% correct because it is not coded to that car. or the eeprom is not for that specific car.
So you get basically in improper window operations is the biggest sign. You will hit your window switch for the driver’s door and the passenger window will go down and vice versa.
So it works but just acts funky, not correct. You rectify it by programming and because of that it just adds one extra step to the whole procedure of performing this repair. The Autel now has the option to do it.
Let’s do the another way ( automatic way).
Here is a FRM3 module out of a BME E90. We will show how to use the Autel IM608 to repair a corrupted FRM control unit out of a BMW or MINI. The difference with this is that with this procedure you will not have to perform programming or coding after repairing it like you used to have to in the past.
You can basically do like a one click type of repair for the FRM like other programmers.
We already connected the FRM module with XP400 pro.
Here is the menu path:
Programmer-> Chip Reading/Writing-> Body Repair->BMW
There is only BMW because it’s targeted to FRM module.
Check your FRM label and make sure you pull up the correct option
Here choose FRM E90/E91 BASIS LED XEQ384 3M25J.
Performing this function will automatically partition the chip and overwrite the original data for recovery.
Hit Start
Before we doing this we need wipe out the eeprom kind of blank it out get the corruption gone out of there that way it is able to accept new data after being basically repaired or
wiped out. That is the only way these methods will work.
Through the manual way you have to do the write partition set up your settings for the chip, it will wipe it out and write it all, make it blank that way you can program it.
If you do this body repair, it will do it all for you. It will change the settings.
Save this data, and name it repaired file.
Continue working, Autel is recovering chip.
Go back to manual way and read EEPROM again, this time it will read EEPROM.
You have a fixed FRM that can you throw back in the car. Save the eeprom data.
Open HexEditor and find the VIN data.
The FRM keeps mileage and also VIN number why you get a manipulation dot if you throw a used one in there.
Then you can connect a USB disk to IM608 and export fixed FRM data to PC.
Run PC, visit FRM3 D-flash to EEPROM converter website http://tlvps.tomvanleeuwen.nl/frm/
Follow the instructions.
Upload D-flash data.
This basically fixes it turns it into a usable eeprom.
With that original vehicle’s FRM VIN number and coding.
It basically ends up fixing and converting it into an eeprom.
It give us VIN number so on and so forth,
You hit download and download eeprom onto your computer.
Back onto your drive move it over to the Autel and write to the FRM module.
Go back to EEPROM option
Write it back to the eeprom not the Dflash.
Then install FRM module back to vehicle without programming afterwards.
This is a 2024 Toyota Highlander and we need to add new spare key to it.
Device used:
Find PEPS immo box, plug in your 30-pin adapter.
Go to Highlander.
It recognized the VIN and that it knows it’s a 2023 with smart key.
Go to Control Unit->Keyless System (CAN)
Turn the hazard warning lights on and off once, press the Start/Stop button 5 times and keep ignition off.
Back up immo data in process.
Save eeprom data.
Select Add smart key
Perform 2 steps to add smart key.
1. Verify PIN
Turn ignition on.
Automatically ipout VIN.
Autel will ask have you back up the eeprom. Press Yes and load eeprom data we just saved.
Reading PIN
Keep a learned key close to the start button within 30s
Then keep a key to be programmed to the Start button.
Learning completed.
If keyless function is not working, adjust the smart key with xhorse vvdi key tool plus or other key tools. Using Define under special function->Smart key customization.
