Autel IM508 XP400 Pro read BMW CAS2 2K79X

 To read EEPROM for one BMW CAS2 >2K79X>RW, all you need is one Autel MaxiIM IM508 & XP400 Pro. All will be done on Bench, and with the on-screen instructions, the whole process is rather simple and easy.

 

Look at the hardware and cable connection:

1. Autel MaxiIM IM508
2. BMW CAS2 board
3. Autel XP400 Pro ( the 2nd generation of Xp400), connected to IM508 with APA109 cable.

 

Connection method: Autel XP400 Pro -> Autel MaxiIM IM508 > BMW CAS2 board

How to read CAS2 EEPROM in Autel IM508 “Programmer” option?

Tap “Programmer” -> Accept the disclaimer -> Chip (EEPROM, MCU, ECU)  -> Chip read & write -> immobilizer -> BMW – > “CAS2 >2K79X>RW” – > OK (to follow the operation guide) -> EEPROM -> Read -> Save (chip data) -> Confirm the file name and tap “Save” again -> OK(confirm the file is saved successfully) -> Write…

Good to know:

With XP400 PRO, Autel IM508 can read & write EEPROM for these BMW immobilizer types:

EWS3

EWS4

CAS1>0K50E>RW

CAS2>0L01Y>RW

CAS2>2K79X>RW

CAS3+0L15Y>RW

CAS3+>0M23S>RW

CAS3>0L01Y>RW

CAS3>2K79X>RW

CAS4>1L15Y>RW

CAS4>1N35H>R(Back up)

CAS4>1N35H>Force unlock

CAS4>1N35H>(Unlock)

CAS4>5M48H>R(Back up)…

Autel IM608 hasn’t had any problem with BMW CAS systems, though ISTAP update you should still remove the module (it has the option to downgrade but you usually remove the module and program that way with 64 attempts to catch rolling code).

AUTEL IM608 BMW Review

Autel IM608 Adds 2nd Key for Audi RS7 2014 BCM2

 Test report:

2014 Audi rs7 added second key through obd in around 10 minutes, autel im608 asked me to do energize the BCM and that slowed me down a bit.  Im608 is nice.

It is the smart key with comfort access. It was a used key, but wiped from the company I purchased it from.

Here’s the tips on programming key on this car via OBD. 

 

I unplugged the car battery when asked me to do it, because first time doing it in 7 series and didn’t know where the bcm2 was and that did the trick.

So I didn’t need to unplug BCM2, just unplug battery.

Some people say have to unplug the bcm2 otherwise it will lock the gearbox.  I have ODIS so not too worried.

My friend corrupted bcm2 data oon a Audi Q5 2012. Autel asked him to de-energize bcm2.  He disconnected all plugs and car was dead after that. He needed to read it on bench and send dump to repair guy to fix data. Everything was ok after repairing dflash. Then successfully added 2nd key.

Maybe weak battery or some voltage drop.

I did it in 2 cars so far using im608 without problems, including an A8 D4, but again odis is here to help with component protection if that happens.

Hope it helps.

How to Solve Autel XP400 Fail to Read Any Transponder?

 Problem:

I receive a new Autel IM608 package. I want to use it for the first time today to read/write a transponder.

It was connected properly to the XP400 key programmer.

But there is a problem with the XP400.

It wouldn’t scan the transponder. I tried several transponders and it would not read any of them.

The version of Autel XP400 is shown as below:

Software: V2.01

Firmware: V2.02

Hardware: V08

The solution offered by obdii365.com engineer:

Step 1: make sure that you have not connected the XP400 programmer to the vehicle OBD connector.

Step 2: Check if you connect the Autel MaxiIM IM608 to the XP400 key programmer via the right USB cable (programmer USB cable)

Please kindly notice:

There are two kinds of USB cables in the IM608 package.

One is VCI USB cable, another one is programmer USB cable. You can identify them via the color.

Step 3: Go to “Programmer” menu to check the programmer function

Step 4: Click “Version information” can see the related hardware and software info.

Step 5: Try with both “Automatic detection” and key type like “HITAG2”

Besides that, you also can visit Autel official website to download PC version programmer V2.61 software.

Path: Create an Autel ID and register-> Select [PC Suite]-> [PC Programmer]-> [Download]-> Install

Notes: The programmer software applies to XP200, XP400 and XP400 Pro.

The software will auto adjust for the programmer.

 

If programmer connection can’t detect any keys both with PC end and tablet.

Please send the logo which describes how the programmer stop work after what operation, and it needs to return to the factory to repair if all methods above have been tried but not working.

Path: Select “Data Manager”-> “Data Logging”-> “History”-> Click “right arrow” to select the corresponding function page to send the log-> Describe what’s the failure-> Click the “send” icon to send the log

Hope it helps!

Autel IM508 Program 2016 SKODA OCTAVIA MQB Key

 2016 SKODA OCTAVIA add MQB key non keyless success! With autel maxiim im508 and XP200.

Aftermarket MQB key used.

This is done on advanced mode and mqb.

Backed up EEPROM then started key learning, generate dealer key success in a few secs, Learn key success and remote synched automatically!

Easy job. 15 mins with cutting.

Autel surprises me with what it can do.

Autel XP400 and VVDI2 Program BMW CAS3+ Dealer Key

 XP400 chip programmer can easily do the chip read and write, key read and write on PC. Here's the demo example on reading CAS3+ EEPROM with Autel XP400 and write key with Xhorse VVDI2 key programmer.

 

 

 

Step 1: Read CAS3+ EEPROM with XP400

Download XP400 software on PC

Remove CAS3+ module, connect CAS3+ with XP400 programmer via APA106 adapter following the wiring diagram

In XP400 software, select Chip function->03-IMMO->BMW-> CAS3+ 0L15Y EEPROM, press OK

Read EERPOM and save dump

Step 2: Make dealer key with VVDI2

In Xhorse VVDI2 Transponder Programming function,  select Euro->BMW->CAS3+ (0L15Y, 0M23S)

Load EEPROM dump read by XP400

Insert a vvdi super chip XT27 to vvdi2's coil

Select an unused key position and press Make Dealer Key

Select transponder type VVDI super chip and press OK to continue

The selected key position not support directly start. To continue need write EEPROM back. Press Yes to continue.

Press Yes

Prepare dealer key success. It can start engine after write back new dump file or learn it to car.

Save new key dump data.

 

Step 3: Write Data back with XP400

Run Autel XP400 software, open new key dump data and press Write 

Write EEPROM back completed.

Now the key can start engine.

Install CAS3+ module back to vehicle.

Test new key.

Done.
