Autel IM608 Program ProMaster City All Keys Lost with Activate Alarm

 Question: 

Can the Autel IM608 II do all keys lost for a Ram Promaster City 2015? It has active alarm. The BCM gets locked with alarm.

 

Here is the clue.

If without active alarm, IM608 can do via OBD. It cannot program all keys lost if BCM gets locked with alarm.

The Fiat uses a different BCM and right now autel has a flash in there that modifies it and kicks out the alarm but that setting doesn’t work on a ProMaster.
If the door is opened or the key is turned on and the chip is not recognized it’ll be an alarm state if the doors were locked doesn’t matter how you open them.

When the alarms active you can’t make a key and the only way to deactivate the alarm is do what’s called an emergency start or you simulate the key after reading the data and then start the vehicle or new BCM this is how the dealer accomplishes it.

The only option is to pull the BCM simulate the key.  Read immo data from bcm to make simulated key to disarm alarm.

And it was a ProMaster City. With a key ignition. The push start ones don’t need all of this.
This is not required on a regular ProMaster or a push start one.

Bench on bcm read data to make simulator key ran for 2 mins with blade and simulator held next to ignition. BCM unlocked key programs like normal.

It’s on simulator key and you use metal blade to turn it with simulator and start vehicle and let run for like 2 minutes at least to get bcm unlocked. You have to simulate the key and deactivate the alarm or it won’t let you get into programming mode.

The procedure is on the IMMO side.

Open up the all keys lost menu then click on and start the process then it’ll bring up the diagrams.

There are 4 bcm options that Autel shows.

All soldering are on the back side.

Don’t split make sure to use the resistor it asked for. Had to grab a 10 ohm resistor. It won’t read with wrong resistor.

You have to go back and connect to the car once it loads the diagram (Autel will show you the diagram) and loads into the thing you can’t exit then go do all the rest of it.

You have to have an APB 112 and a testkey theoretically you could drive it all day long with a simulator and a test key once you make the file.

 

 

For example:

Promaster city 2015 keys lost locked bcm active alarm is done.

Add Dodge RAM PROMASTER 2023 Smart Key with Autel IM508

 Problem:

I do have right now Dodge RAM PRO MASTER 2023 ( SMART KEY ) Push to start.
I got the key from the dealer from the vin number.
Autel IM508S telling me put the key next to the push start button (without pressing any buttons )
Key doesn’t need to be programmed, Car won’t accept any keys.
Any recommendations?

Solution:

Read pin under dodge and program under fiat.

It’s a hybrid between dodge and fiat.

I tried reading pin under fiat and it didnt work so i read pin under dodge and then went to Fiat 500 xl proximity to program..

Autel IM608 Jaguar K8D2 Not Support Module Replacement?

 Problem:

2020 Jaguar XE
K8D2 KVM 434MHZ.
Removed kvm, successfully swapped MCU and wrote data initialization with Autel IM608.
Plugged back into vehicle to learn the kvm and add keys, but got error message “The current ECU version does not support the module replacement function”
Is there anything I can do to finish this already long and painstaking effort?

Here is the clue.

K8D2 is the most problematic (cannot learn RFA or learn incorrectly or not finish the procedure). AVDI is better for K8D2 system. JLR Pluto is the best key programming device for JLR till 2024.

– AVDI Abrites – Ok (depends on the model)

– Autel- Ok (depends on the model)

– VVDI Key Tool Plus – Ok (depends on the model)

– Lonsdor – Ok (depends on the model)

 

 — **Abrites: Key learning (No need to replace RFA)**

– JPLA – Yes (100%)

– K8D2 – Yes (100%)

– J9C3 – Yes (100%)

– M9R3 – Yes (100%)

 

— **Autel: RFA replacement**

– JPLA – Yes (90% success rate)

– K8D2 – Yes (70% success rate)

– J9C3 – Yes (90% success rate)

– M9R3 – No

 

— **Xhorse Key Tool Plus: RFA replacement (BETA)**

– JPLA – Yes (70% success rate)

– K8D2 – Yes – (50% success rate)

– J9C3 – Yes (70% success rate)

– M9R3 – No
