 Question:

Fiat 500 add two new keys but how do I make them dealer keys so they will program by the Autel MaxiIM IM608 ? I have one working key and im608 read pin correctly.

 

 

Suggestion:

Need to read immo data first there should be make dealer key option once you’ve ready immo data. It’s not just pin must read immo data. You have to read immo data make a dealer key learn the keys 100% .

 If you have a working key you select 2 keys to program or in this case you would select 3 keys to program as you wants to add an original and 2 new remotes.

Program working key first followed by the next 2

Unavailable keys are only erased permanently from the system and cannot be used again once the procedure has been completed.

Go into immo system first and you will see -

Read password

Generate dealer key

Program key

Follow in that order

Program original in first followed by 2 new keys.

 Godiag GT100 Breakout box is tested by an increasing number of users, they all think highly of it for what it do, in short, it is good quality, easy to use, help save much money, helps narrow down the issue etc.

Please read carefully what they’ve tested, overall the review is unbiased, not from the seller:

1. Very well made, solid junction box with good quality strong harness and connectors.

Great bit of kit, easily connected to car using ECU modules and straight forward to use.

Great value for money, able to use on multiple vehicles.

Overall, great product if you want to control you own destiny with car fault codes.

For some users feedback there is no instruction in the package, the manufacturer will arrange add it in the package. So far, please refer to obdii365.com videos, the below link include all we tested:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYFyJLWubsfvyyQS1cKaBeloa7TUO87c0

The package comes with plenty of adapters, jumper cables and accessories for use.

2. for doing diagnostics, vehicle immobilizer & security work whether it be on the bench with the included power adapter or in the vehicle with the OBD II port supplying power.
3. I always use this to verify that the networks are communicating properly and that there is proper power and grounds being supplied to the box assembly. You don’t want to hook your very expensive scan tool up and it be fired because you didn’t have the proper powers and grounds from somebody’s previous shoddy work on a vehicle.

4. Godiag GT100 is the easier one comparing with other brands of Breakout boxes, it comes with additional features for doing ecm, ecu repair on vehicles.

5. For diagnosing your car when you have a check engine light, having this definitely helps us narrow down the issue.

6. Reset the check engine light

7. Can save your settings on your radio when you change your batteries, it is very cool.

8. Able to use GT100 without having to get a scanner. It has the potential to save money on diagnosing car issues and repairs. Mine has worked well with great accuracy.

9. Can be connected with multiple modules. Strong compatibility, making use and diagnostics more integrated and robust.

10. Give early stage of signal/alert that need to work on before it completely breakdown, this helps to save a fortune and avoid a great chance of standing in the middle of nowhere waiting for rescue.

11. Godiag GT100 supplies the vehicle with power when you are transferring batteries to avoid data loss which is another plus to this box.

12. 12. Using a Vident scanner and the Godiag GT100 breakout box to perform a bench test for the ECU remove from the car (with can-bus error, airbag light on and niggling power problems, but no idea get any further). Turned out to be a corroded pin that was preventing the communication. Great outcome and saved a fortune. Fantastic bit of kit and you don’t need an expensive scanner to pair with it.

13. Plugged the socket under the dash into Godiag GT100 and turned the ignition. Soon after, a few of the LEDs lit as we expected with varying levels of brightness. The brightness of the LED also requires interpretation, as a weakly lit LED lets us know how good or bad the particular part of the car is.

14. Used Godiag GT100 on a Mercedes and the VVDI2 platform. If you know what you are doing it’s a great tool which shows the results in real time.

…

Godiag GT100 Breakout Box Using tips:

Please make sure you’re fully aware of the capabilities and use of GT100 as with little or no experience just as with other tools, equipment you can do thousands of dollars to a vehicle if not properly trained or knowledgeable with what you’re doing.

Enjoy!

 The reason why update GM MDI / MDI2 interface firmware is because it is compatible with the newest original GDS2 software, and only after doing firmware update can the newest v2020.12 Bosch software recognize it.

Here we go for GM MDI Manager update procedure.

Press and hold the power button on GM MDI 2/ MDI device, meanwhile plug the power adapter to the device, until the power indicators turn green, release the power button.

Then use the USB cable to connect device with computer.

Install “GM MDI Manager 8.5.33.53 (the newest version)” and at the desktop open it.

Click on “MDI” icon and then “Recover”.

Read the guide “Do not unplug the MDI from the PC or remove power from the MDI during the update process.”.

Start… You can see the computer indicator will turn green, it means the MDI /MDI2 is communicating with the computer, and you will see the progress bar on the screen.

Alright, the MDI will now automatically restart. Wait until you hear the “Beep”, then the MDI s ready for use.

GM MDI Manager update successfully, you can see all of the indicator will turn green one by one, and one you are ready to connect MDI / MDI2.

Enjoy!

 Question:

Here comes the table comparison of Autel MaxiIM IM508, IM608 and IM608 Pro universal key programmer.

The only difference between IM608 and IM608 Pro is the programmer that comes with the tablet.
The tablets themselves IM608 and IM608Pro have no difference in terms of hardware and software. All keep the same.
As for the difference of XP400 and XP400 Pro, the main difference is the hardware upgrade. XP400PRO is more powerful.
But the good thing is you can buy XP400Pro and optional adapters together with any Autel key programming tool like IM508 and IM608 to have the same features with IM608Pro & XP400Pro and optional adapters.

The last batch of CG keys was not read or written to the CGDI MB. The manufacturer CGDI MB recommends replacing the IR receiver and transmitter.

Here's the customer's good working experience on solving this issue.

There was neither time nor desire to buy it and wait. Therefore, I tried to install the IR receiver and transmitter from an old faulty original key. Now CGDI MB reads and writes perfectly again !!!

Regular keys labeled CG. Of the five keys, only one key was recorded from the fifth time. After replacing IR light and photo diodes, the keys can be read and written without problems.

 I have 2006 G6 GTP (CAN protocol), 2001 Blazer (J1850 VPW) and 2004 Avalanche (J1850 VPW) to activate ABS bleeding, and I found Vident Ilink400 Multi-System Scan Tool for GM on obdii365 where someone said it worked on a 2003 S10 for crank sensor relearn. Also found someone who said it read cam sensor retard. And another who said it worked on the Blazer ABS Bleeding procedure. Also found some people who had some troubles, but there is always people who can’t get things to work when they should. what I find interesting is that the manufacturer’s web site says it works on both OBD1 and OBD2 – so maybe this will work on 1995 OBD1.5?

Then , I went ahead and ordered one, it was $149 free shipping.

I’ll review the Vident Ilink 400 because it’s really good value.

I’m REALLY impressed with it. Downloaded and installed GM software update. Hooked up to my 2006 G6 GTP (CAN protocol), my 2001 Blazer (J1850 VPW), and my 2004 Avalanche (J1850 VPW). The Avalanche it does not automatically recognize the vehicle and forces me to enter some info about the vehicle manually. Apparently does ABS brake bleeding and crank sensor relearn on all 3 GM vehicles (actually tried the brake bleeding procedure on the Avalanche). Did not look for cam sensor retard on the Avalanche and the G6, but does read the all-important Cam Sensor Retard on my Blazer. Saw it does injector balance test on Avalanche. Does misfire counters for all three. Plus was reading BCM and HVAC codes on Avalanche. Red and identified a entertainment (radio) code on the g6. However could not find TCCM module on either Blazer or Avalanche (both 4-button). Too much to list – has TONS of capability. Way, way more than my HP Tuners VCM scanner software. But remember you only get one manufacturer’s PIDs – pay $60 each for any more you want to install. The box claims it’s compatible with OBD1 and OBD2 but no OBD1 connector included so who knows. A little clunky to get through the menus, but it’s a handheld scanner.

I would say anyone with 1998+ Blazer is VERY safe to buy this scan tool Vident Ilink 400 and will be EXTREMELY happy with it for the price. It is obviously pretty cheaply made and Chinese, but should be OK.

Have no idea how it will work with 1995 (OBD1.5), or 1996-1997 Blazers (we know some Bluetooth scanning apps have trouble with GM PIDs on 1996-1997). I’ll try to review this scanner more thoroughly sometime this fall and post it. In the meantime, if anyone collects data using this scanner on the 1995-1997 Blazers, please let me know so I can include that info. I have no idea how it will work (GM PIDs and bidirectional controls) with very new vehicles (ie 2013+) but I believe the CAN protocol is consistent through 2012 and it seem to do the most module types for the CANBUS vehicles so they should be good to go.

The following paragraph is my personal experience and point of view on Chinese GM Tech2, Blue Driver for GM when comparing with Vident Ilink 400:

Take a typical Bluetooth OBD app for example, tons of these out there – only a few do enhanced GM PIDs (sensor/data monitoring) and even fewer have all the useful specific PIDs for a Blazer such as cam sensor retard. Specifically these are Car Gauge Pro (98+ blazer only – includes enhanced PIDs), Dash Command w/enhanced GM PID purchase (all years Blazer), Blue Driver (I have not personally reviewed but seems to work for iPhone users). Car Gauge Pro and Dash Command requires a separate Bluetooth OBD2 adapter to be purchased – recommend BAFX one. The rest have big promises, little susbstance. However, please be advised that none of the Bluetooth apps do Brake Bleeding or Crank Sensor Relearns, which is what the Ilink400 is really about.

At $300+ you can buy Windows software that will do the Crank Sensor Relearn, but the brake bleeding is not supported on HP Tuners anyways. Don’t know about the others. HP Tuners, Autoenginuity, EFI live.

At $150 you can buy Windows software Scan XL Pro that pretty much equals the functions of Dash Command – same company – different platform – don’t have to buy the Enhanced GM PIDs for each vehicle.

Some people love their $350 Chinese Tech 2 and claim is works just like the GM Tech 2. I have zero experience with either one.

So I was quite excited to find the Ilink400 would do both brake bleeding and things like the crank sensor relearn and HVAC. The handheld scanner I bought and returned before buying mine would only do the brake bleeding + simplest generic OBD2 PIDs.

For casual Blazer diagnostics, for under $50 I recommend Dash Command or Car Gauge Pro (Car Gauge Pro does more on 1998+ Blazers, but not as intuitive to use and is poorly documented). If you feel the need for crank sensor relearn or brake bleeding or more bi-directional control, then for under $150 the Vident Ilink400 seems made to order. I like them ALL and find uses for each!!! The only one that does it all is the factory Tech 2.

Vident Ilink400 gm– just figured out the TCCM IS reachable using the Ilink400, but you find it under Powertrain (also Cruise Control is found under powertrain). Looks like you can monitor the status of various switches and their positions + much more. Found this when working on my Avalanche cruise control. Brake switch was not working and you could see the status of all the cruise control switches. It’s a great little handheld.

Enjoy!
