Will Autel APB112 Emulator Work with XP200?

 Question:

So if I already have a IM508 with XP200 and I only obtained the APB112 Smart Key Emulator thing for the time being . Am I able to do All keys lost on Toyotas with Smart /Proximity keys or not? Do I still have to also buy the XP400 in order to do this on any Toyota or other Asian makes? I couldn’t see in this video if an XP400 had to be used.

 

Solution:

APB112 is compatible with IM508 (with XP200), IM608 (XP400),  IM608 Pro (XP400 Pro) and the older Auro Otosys IM100 and IM600.

But in the near future there will be some vehicles that need both the xp400 and apb112 to execute the key coding procedure.

It depends where you are getting the existing key data from. If you are pulling it OBD then the emulator should plug into the IM508/IM608 unit. If you are eeproming, you will need the xp400 or xp400pro to read the chip as well.

 

The Autel APB112 smart key emulator is designed to collect the data send from the ignition coil, aiming to identify the ignition coil troubles and decode the data of the vehicle key chip.
It an also emulate the vehicle key chip.

Autel APB112 expands the tablets’ already significant coverage and functionality by enabling you to quickly. Add keys to Toyota and Lexus vehicles in an All Keys Lost scenario.

Top advantages of APB112:

1. 1. Time saving. APB112 takes 2-5 mins, no need to wait 16 minutes or more.
   2. You can add-a-key which doesn’t erase other keys so if they have more keys at home they don’t need to re-add them.
   3. If you have a bad steering lock you can’t reset for AKL this is the only way to make a key. If you try to program the steering lock it will ask you to tap the key and if you try to make a key it will say it can’t because you don’t have a working steering lock.
   4. You can start the car at no cost if they just want to drive it home where they have spare keys.
   5. Can do Hyundai Kia (calculate ID 46 pin code) and even Subaru

      2. Complete the connection, status indicator lights solid blue, indicating that the APB112 smart key simulator is working properly. Then it will communicate with the diagnostic device automatically.

      4. In order to decode the chip, please place the smart key simulator close to the ignition coil for data collection. After decoding, the original car chip data can be copied;

How to Solve Autel IM608 IM508 Device Locked?

 Problem 1:

My Autel MaxiIM IM608 was locked after programming the key on hyundai sonata. I just programmed a key on a car brought from the USA. I didn't do anything else. 5 minutes after the programming, it turned off itself and since then it doesn't turn on and issues this error.

"The device has been locked since an illegal operation has been detected"

 

Problem 2: 

Happened to me after updating OS

 

Reason:

Autel tools are geo-locked. You must buy from a local distributor or your tool will be locked.

If you purchase Autel from other agent and your Autel is locked, go to Autel support or contact your dealer to contact factory to unlock your device.

If the tool is in a different region, you may need to pay to get it unlocked.

 

 

Our Autel IM508 cannot be delivered to UK, Spanish and Portuguese. Other regions have no IP limitation. Won't be locked. 

Autel IM608 has no IP limitation. Won't be locked. 

Both can be delivered from EU, US, China warehouses.

Autel IM608 Adds 2020 Ford Mustang Smart Key

 First attempt:

 

Needed to add a key to a 2020 Ford Mustang today that I was not successful with Autel IM608 yet. Followed all the prompts and was not able to gain access. I believe my mistake was I said yes to active alarm and I answered yes. I believe it was asking if alarm was active and it was not. Also I was never prompted to turn ignition on.

 

 

 

 

Update: im608 works. Successfully added a smart key. Have to do manual selection.

 Alarm was active. If you chose Yes the system might have different communication. So select No then move.

Don’t need key on to program a Ford.
