How to Solve Autel IM508 2021 Jeep Programming BOOT2 Error
Problem:
Tried to add a spare key to a 2021 Jeep Compass with Autel IM508.
This is what I am getting, trying to read password it keeps.
Error: Programming BOOT2
Any solution?
Solution:
Voltage is low.
Connect battery booster or change battery.
Battery is dead on that car, get a battery maintainer as at 9V no modules will talk and you risk damaging the car. For any sort of programing 13.5V is a must.
If you use correct booster, you can set to 13.5V or more.
Feedback:
The car had a problem, electrical problem. The battery was good, but the voltage was showing low. I ended up figuring it out and got the job done. I had noticed the voltage but when I hook up to the battery, it will show 12.5 but on the scanner, it shows 8.

Clone Mazda CX-30 2020 Smart Key by Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro
Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Pro clone Mazda CX30 2020 smart key using XM38 key successfully.
Go to Special Function-> Copy Proximity Remote->Mazda 6A smart key clone.
Was it just cloning, or was programming required for the Xhorse key?
There was no programming involved. He simply pre-coded the Xhorse XM38 key using a Mazda file and then cloned it. Just clone it and go get that money.
NOTE:
Be careful cloning proximity keys that way. Make sure you tell the customer you’re cloning it. Issues can arise when they in the car together, etc. Always best to do it the proper way adding the key into the BCM as it should. Blessings!
