 Here we will show how to add a spare key to Skoda Kodiaq 2017-2021 keyless using Autel IM608/IM508 XP400 Pro and APB131 adapter step by step.

Main steps:

1. Read Cluster data

2. Calculate IMMO data

4. Learn key

 

Here shows how to add a spare keyless smart key to 2019 Kodiaq using KD MQB smart key. If all keys lost, you also need sync data.

 

Procedure:

This car cannot be done via OBD. So we have to remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle.

Remove and disassemble the cluster.

We can see it has processor R7F701402 mcu.

In IM508 or IM608, go to Expert selection->MQB instrument cluster-> Read instrument cluster information->RH850 Locked (via dump)- R7F701402

This chip currently supports MQB48-5A instrument only and does not support MQB49-5C instruments.

Check wiring diagram.

Connect cluster with APB131 adapter and XP400 Pro following the wiring diagram.

Read chip data via programmer.
Save cluster data.

Select Calculate IMMO Data.
Load the cluster data just saved.
Decode IMMO data succeeded.
Save IMMO data.

Remove wiring and apb131 from cluster.

Reinstall the instrument cluster back to vehicle.

Make Dealer key.

Select Make Dealer Key
If IM608 asks do you have the original key. Press Yes, here just add a spare key.
Place the original key into the key slot of the programmer.

Make dealer key successfully.

Learn Key
Select Learn key.
If IM608 asks if the vehicle is equipped with smar key, press Yes.

All keys need to be learned.
Place the key close to the sensing area.

Follow Autel IM608 prompts to learn key.

  

Key learning completed.

Test both keys. All working fine.

Autel IM508 Program 2023 Toyota Tacoma All Keys Lost

 2023 Toyota Tacoma smart key all keys lost can be programmed by Autel IM508/IM608.

 

Easy… Autel im508, smart key emulator, and Toyota bypass cable.
Job takes 10 minutes tops.

 

Go ahead and hook up the 30 pin connector, then you read immobilizer data, after you’ve successfully read the immobilizer data, generate analog key using the data you read and saved. Using the newly generated analog key, you program the key to the vehicle. Using the add key method.
If the customer wants the old keys erased, simply go to erase key after you have successfully added the new key,  during the process of erasing keys it’s going to ask you to hold the key you want to save in the system up against the start button. That will be the newly programmed key that you just programmed.

Hold it up to the start button and it will erase all other keys, except that one.

 

You need the 30pin cable (hook up behind glovebox) back up immo data and generate the emulator key then you can add and key or erase keys if full. I use my IM508 and the xhorse 30 pin cable. Autel does have an obd jumper wires for that purpose, but I find the 30pin cable to just be easier.

Autel IM508S Failed to Read BMW EWS3 Data Solution

 Problem:

Program key for bmw m3 e46 year 2000 with ews3 immobilizer mask 0D46J using Autel IM508S XP400 Pro. I have ews3 adapter connected on the ews3. But reading with autel using ews3 adapter failed to communicate.

Error: “Communication error of the programmer.”

Images attached:

Solution:

There is not enough voltage of the USB cable on the IM508S.

For EWS3, Autel engineer suggests reading EWS3 data with XP400 Pro PC software on Windows. Then write key with IM508S.

Requires 12V power supply to the XP400 Pro.

Autel IM608 Toyota “New Key Registered” Solution

 Problem:

Programmed a smart key into a 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross using Autel IM608 II, and it works fine but when you get in the car to start it, it says “new key registered, contact dealer”. But it works fine and is registered correctly in the system. How I can delete it?

The error happens on new Toyotas often.  This is normal on all new Toyota.

Drive it for a while/a couple of days/weeks, it will go away!!!

It’s part of the Toyota security and the key needs to be linked with Toyota.

 

That’s some of the new features in Toyota to let the owner know that there is a new key programmed to the car in case you did not approve a new key and someone made a copy while you were not there. If all works fine and there is no codes it should go away in a few start cycles.

Autel IM608 II Unlock Renault Clio V Gateway Error Code 17?

 Problem:

Tried to program smart key for Renault Clio V 2020 with Autel IM608 II Pro. I purchased 2 tokens in the device. But still failed to unlock security gateway.

“Lock failed.

Error message: Response failed. Unable to obtain the key to unlock the gateway. Please contact customer service.

code=17 ”

Same as IM508S.

Here is the clue.

Due to some technical reasons, the Renault safety gateway unlock feature will no longer be supported from the Autel MaxiIM series.
If customers need to unlock the safety gateway, they can try alternative solutions, such as use Renault gateway bypass adapter or using the diagnostic function to unlock the gateway first, then proceed with the IM functionality.

The Renault gateway unlock token is only used to unlock security gateway to perform diagnostic functions (active test, special functions).

For Immobilizer functions, you need to hook up the Renault gateway adapter.

For 2019- Renault Clio V/Captur II, you can also remove HFM to read pin from dump using APB131 adapter.
