Autel MaxiIM IM608 feedback: Add key for Mini Cooper 2011 CAS3+ istap no issues via OBD.

Good to know:

1. It is cas3++ istap, once I had an update fail. Car did not start anymore. But I could repair the cas with autel. Here is how I done it , when update failed. Same process for the mini

http://blog.obdii365.com/2021/08/19/repair-bmw-cas3-istap-with-autel-im508-im608/

2. Someone think that “on MINI must remove the dashboard to access the CAS”… then the easy job becomes a shitty job.

3. Someone feedback ” I was trying to add key with autel cas 3+ and it doesn’t add key by obd in cas” .

Yes I had this problem also. In that case you need to go to ecu operation after you did the add key procedure, and write the key ID in yourself.

Look at Autel IM608 Mini Cooper coverage:

From the official site: https://www.autel.com/vehicle-coverage/coverage2

 Here is the tutorial on Autel MaxiIM IM608 JVCI J2534 interface driver download and installation. If you have the driver for laptop, you cannot use this interface as j2534 passthru.  We can get autel J2534 programming jvci to communicate with the manufacturer platform ( OEM software) to program cars.

If you have an Autel IM608 and we can use that one as a programmer.

You have to go to Autel website: www.autel.com

You have to register you have to use the name password and email

you have to put your serial number or fcc number here

when you put it in, it will take you to step to create an account

If you have created an account, sign in with Autel ID (your email address) and password.

 Smart 453 has the same system as Renault Twingo III. In the previous post lists all available tools to program all keys lost via OBD.

Which tool to program Smart Fortwo 453 all keys lost?

Here we share tips on programming Smart 453 AKL with OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus.

After selecting All Keys Lost (Beta) function, do follow instructions strictly to complete the job.

If you have a working key, make sure you select [Add Keys] for operation
If you insist on choosing the [All keys lost] for operation, the machine will not hold the responsibility of the risks and consequences.
After performing [All keys lost], possible risks are:
Risk 1: after the key is cleared (UCH is reset to a brand new ECU), the pincode reading fails, resulting in failure of programming key operation.
Risk 2: the wrong pincode is read after the key is cleared (UCH is reset to a brand new ECU), after the key programing operation is completed through the wrong pincode, the key only has remote control, but cannot start the car.

Risk solution:
Risk 1: Use the original diagnostic tool to reprogram UCH online;

Risk 2: You need to perform [Reset UCH] function, then reprogram UCH online with OEM diagnostic equipment.

(The dealer key generated by the wrong pincode only can be unlocked by the wrong pincode!)

 Problem: Turned on my Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P today and purchased one-year subscription service and did some update, but it still said my subscription is expired, actually it doesn’t expire until October 10th, 2022, how to solve the problem?

Autel chief engineer replied:

Please click on “Cancel” to see if it can download and update, if not please upload log via MaxiTool and Autel tech will reach you.

What about other users’ experiences:

Generally speaking, do a full factory reset on your tool before your subscription expires to refresh your Maxisys line tools (Maxisys MS906, MS906BT, MS908P, Elite, MS909 etc). Also use a 32 GB SD card to expand internal storage. Part of the problem is your tool has run out of memory.

1. How to do Factory Reset?

If not expired, you should connect your Autel MaxiSys Pro device to any laptop using the black usb cable and after the laptop detect the usb driver, turn off usb and unplug the cable, reset your device and try again.

2. Use a 32 GB SD card to expand internal storage

Firstly, to create a backup, simply insert the Micro SD card into your tool and open the base screen (not the diagnostic application). Then open  ES File Explorer. There you will find two instances of SD Cards. Open the internal drive, usually label “SD_CARD” or similar. Hold your finger on “SCAN” to bring up lower menu. Select copy. Now open the external SD card, label “EXT_SD” or similar.

Paste the copy of “SCAN” here. Depending on model of scan tool this can take up to 3 hours. Once this is done, remove the SD card and store it somewhere safe where it will not be damaged. It is very small so store it somewhere you’re not going to forget it.

Now take the second 32 GB card, insert it into your Autel/Auro tool and repeat the above process. Leave this one in your tool after backup. Update this once a month until your subscription expires, swap with the other backup, repeat.

Now you don’t have to stress it when something crashes.

The Autel line of tools will only recognize up to 32 GB Micro SD Cards. We highly recommend buying this pair of 2x 32 GB Micro SD cards to create redundant backups in case of file corruption.

Alright, if Autel MaxiSys Pro software subscription is actually expired, here is 1 Year Software Subscription Total Care Program:

 Topic: How to change the language on 6/2021 DAS Xentry windows 10. Here are all the steps to follow, hope it helps. FYI, DAS / Xentry default language is English when you open the software.

obdii365.com engineer replied:

1. The method to change DAS language: right click on “DAS” icon, enter “Properties”, then if you can see the file name with “-LXX (XX means the language Abbreviation) and then directly change XX as the language you need ( for example: EN, FR, DE, IT, RU, etc)

2. The method to change Xentry language:

Enter the Xentry software to change.

What about users’ working method?

If anyone downloaded pre-installed Xentry VM or they just want to change the language selected at initial install, you can do it the following way:

1) Go to Start Menu > Run
2) Type in “regedit” and enter
3) Navigate to

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mercedes-Benz\Settings”
4) Change the binary “Language” key value to EN, FR, DE, IT, RU, etc or whatever language code you want
5) Navigate to

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mercedes-Benz\Installation Framework” above it
6) Change the “DAI_Language” key to the same language code
7) Close regedit and reboot.

This will globally change the language for your installation in SD Connect, AddOn Center, ConfigAssist, etc but you will still need to change the language in Xentry through the menu’s inside the program.

Might be different on different OS’s but I think the key names should be the same. Changing the shortcut with the “-len” extension didn’t work for me. Hopefully it will help someone else in the same situation!

Moreover:

If you also need to change all windows 10 in English use sysprep.exe in c windows system sysprep sysprep.exe
all next next next just select language English and when asks for user give it default as name and no password
after install you can delete the user default.

Question: I want to change the language on 6/2021 DAS windows 10.

I followed the above steps, it did not work, also the short cut does not have “|en” at the end of the command line to change the language.

Possible reason and solution:

first you need to change the language on the Xentry setting and open DAS via xentry.

Or I think what worked for me is by changing the system locale to English, not only the windows display language.

Alright, if you have any issues on 2021.06 DAS Xentry software running with MB SD C4 DoIP, Benz C6, C5 etc, contact at https://www.obdii365.com/ (Whatsapp:+86 18259252285) for assistance.

everything was done by obd2

 Problem:

Someone to help me please?

Solution:

It’s not the right key.

If holding the 10 unlock or lock with the key in ignition in the on position, does not bring results, then you have wrong modulation FSK instead of ASK or vice versa.

Uses a key with a signal: FSK
REFERENCE: CE053
Don’t forget to sync the key for 10 seconds.
If it still doesn’t work. Look no further.
Check the battery on key and key signal with Xhorse mini key tool or Handy Baby.
If this still doesn’t work, it’s your key that’s faulty or poor quality.
If this still doesn’t work.

Otherwise try with another key model by:
CE0523 with signal: FSK

Trying to check with the key shell, if the remote synchronization function is active in the BSI.
Because if it’s not activated, that’s why your remote synchronization doesn’t work with the remote control, despite having the right model.
Because the right remote is well in CE0536 – FSK.

Question:

Can we clone the original (my car is an Aston Martin 2007) Smarttire system sensors with Autel? And the whole system is about $1500?. That's favorable to getting this done a couple times at a dealer, right?

Solution:

The Autel MaxiTPMS TS401 has the ability to program Autel MX universal sensors, which are around $20-$25. I've used the TS401 and the MX universal sensors on other cars and they worked without any problems.

I've not tried to program the MX universal sensors with the DB9 Smartire system yet; however, all indications seem that it's doable. Indications meaning -- I was able to pull the codes of the Smartire and the Autel site link I provided above seems to indicate that Smartire codes can be copied to the MX sensors. I've not done it yet -- mainly because my sensors are fine, but I'll likely experiment in the spring out of curiosity. I will, however, pull all the codes off the sensors and store them -- in case the sensor batteries die before i have a chance of testing it.

Related, the $1K+ MaxiSys MS906TS does an excellent job on reading the codes, resetting the service light,  program TPMS sensors like the TS401 etc. for a number of the higher end vehicles.

Below are instructions for programming a 433 MHz Autel MX sensor to support a Smartire system.

Relearn Procedure:

Please note:

If new ID is created for the this sensor, OE tool is needed to perform relearn.

With Autel tools, the only solution is to copy the OE Sensors' IDs, and no relearn needed.

There are two methods to copy the OE sensors' IDs.

Method 1:

1. Please perform a rapid tire deflation while pressing the trigger button on Autel tool to receive sensor data.

2. Then use the 'Copy By Activation' function to program Autel sensor.

3. Install the duplicated Autel sensor to the location corresponding to the OE sensor.

Method 2:

1. Uninstall the OE sensor, a series of numbers (173-1-1-XXXXXXX) are printed on its surface, among which XXXXXXX is the OE sensor's decimal ID.

2. Use the 'Manual Create' function to program Autel sensor.

3. Install the duplicated Autel sensor to the location corresponding to the OE sensor.

Note:

If necessary, please pay special attention to the sensor ID format conversion when using the 'Manual Create'.

I used method 2 and it worked perfectly. Went ahead and replaced all 4 SmarTire sensors. Saved a fortune.
