Autel IM508 Failed to Backup 2022 Toyota 4Runer IMMO Data?

 One of the obdii365.com customers reported that he failed to program a 2022 Toyota 4Runner US proximity and ran into this problem on the Autel IM508.

Error: The current smart main ECU software version number is Not Supported?

Autel IM508 Failed to Backup 2022 Toyota 4Runer IMMO Data

Solution:

Confirmed by Autel engineer. Autel won’t backup immo data for this software version as it said the ECU software number is not supported.

Autel won’t do it on some of the new ones you’ll have to get a in and out code from a third party and do all keys lost then do add a key.

Get code send to a vendor or nastaf for outcode. Reset box, add key. Will need to send off code again for the outcode. Program key.

Same as SmartPro, it will also ask to input the data through NASTF.

 

 

Here is an online resource where you can get Toyota incode and outcode.

Can Autel IM508 Program 2022- Ford F250 F350 Key?

 Question:

Are there any issues with doing newer Push to Start Fords, 2022- F150 F250 F350 with Autel IM508?

Autel IM508 Program 2022- Ford F250 F350 Key

Answer:

Looking at the key slot on the door, if its vertical its hu101, if its horizontal its the newer hu198 key and will require dealer tool (NASTF+FDRS).

F150: All new fords from 21 f150 require dealer tool. You can still do the f250, 350,450etc and some of the explorer.

 

F250, F350: People have done some 2023 f250’s it’s rare you run across one with the new system.

 

2022 Software change for Mustang, Explorer, Transit, Expedition, and Edge.
