Trying to program a Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2013 I’m able to read the PIN code with Autel IM608 but when try to smart key learning for some reason pop me a message

Any suggestions?

Solution:

If try the wrong PIN code 3 times and the system will be locked out. Have to leave ignition alone for hour. For 1 hour don’t touch car with ignition off. You also do a hard reset as well.

You can just touch the positive and negative battery cable together and reset the computor on the car of couse make sore to disconnect both terminals completely before touch them together other wise you will have a problem.
Then make sure you have the correct PIN code.

Autel iKey Use Toyota 4D8A Low-Freq Key Error Solution

 Problem:

This is Lexus RX350H 2023 all keys lost.

Tried to generate an Autel Toyota ikey with Autel IM608.

But the Autel device says it is wrong key and asks to use Toyota 4D8A low-frequency universal key.

Which key is this?

Autel iKey Use Toyota 4D8A Low-Freq Key Error 1

Autel iKey Use Toyota 4D8A Low-Freq Key Error 2


Solution:

Corolla/Camry and some Lexus 2020 to 2024 are 4A chip type, no way you will use that key because it’s 8A unless you use autel universal key.

For Toyota/Lexus 4A smart key, use universal type ikey instead. Low-frequency key here means universal ikey.

Or generate Xhorse XM38 with key tool max. It has been tested working fine on these models.

Autel IM608 or AutoProPAD to Add 2023 Charger Smart Key?

 2023 Charger Smart Key programming review:

Here’s a reminder to have multiple options with programmers. 2023 Charger add Proximity key. Using new version AutoProPad core. Pulled pin 61155. Wouldn’t program kept say incorrect pin. Pulled out Autel IM608 pulled different pin of 45331 but wouldn’t add key.

Went back to APP and used the 45331 pin and went right in.
