IV. Autel XP400 All-in-one Programmer FAQs
Q: Where to download Autel XP400 software?
A: See Part 1 above.
Q: Does xp400 also do the common readings that UPA does?
A: Yes.
Q: With those readings you would generate the keys, wouldn’t you?
A: Yes, you can generate key with dump data read by xp400.
Q: Does it consume token? how many tokens?
A: No, no consume token.
Q: XP400 is it compatible with MaxiSys Pro? I bought an MaxiSys Pro, but now i need to buy a
MaxiIM IM608, my question is, should i need all the MaxiIM IM608 bundle or only the XP400 key programmer and this will compatible with the maxisys pro?
A: The MaxiSys Pro does not have the immobilizer software that even mentions using the XP400 key programmer let alone the step by step instructions for using it.
XP400 is not compatible with MaxiSys platforms at this time.
You would think that you would at least be able to purchase a cost effective add on
IM508 software App for MaxiSys with the XP400 programmer to bolster the immobilizer capability of the tools.
Q: Is the Im508 can do Mercedes key ?obd? I got
G-box2 and XP400?
W204 and W212 I tried to a key when all keys lost and couldn’t get password, connect to ELV and fuse 47. I used G-box and XP400
Is the IM508 can do those cars? or IM508 CAN NOT do Mercedes keys?
A: Yes. IM508 and XP400 can do the W212. Search youtube video guide.
Q: If the MS908S is able to program with J2534 And xp400?
A:
The XP400 is a key programmer or PIN extractor tool used in conjunction with the IM608/IM508. The IM608 will tell you when you need to use the XP400 and should give instructions steps for doing things. A MS908S software is different and lacks key programming and PIN pulling capability of IM608 and will lack instruction for XP400 , and unfortunately isn’t going to become an IM608 simply by plugging XP400 into your MS908S.
Q: Is it possible to use XP400 with MK908P?
A: No.
A: Check table comparison below:
Q: How to connect XP400 with IM608? Do you have connection diagram?
A: Connect xp400 with APA adapters and the other end to IM608 host. Check image below:
Q: I have im608 and xp400. xp400 won’t read key info or frequency of 6 keys from different manufacturers. Ford, Mercedes, VW, BMW. Haven’t been able to test beyond that. Any idea?
A:
1. XP400 software too old. Run a update: current latest version V2.51. see Part 2.
2. Change another USB port to connect to IM608 (IM608 host has 2 USB ports)
3. Correct XP400 with IM608 correctly. DON’T connect XP400 with vehicle directly otherwise will cause damage.
4. If all have been checked without issue, send XP400 S/N back to repair/replace.
Keep updating…
