Autel IM508 + XP400 Pro vs. IM608 Pro
This article answer this common question: Does Autel Im508 with xp400 pro have the same functions as Autel Im608 with xp400 pro? Same features and diagnostics and immo ? And just size different?
Some people might think:
Autel IM508 + XP400 cost half of the price on IM608 are you think that can do the same?
In fact:
The immo functions are pretty much the same for key programming.
The difference is the diagnostic functions, im608 has far more diagnostic functions included, depends what you want the machine for, the extra cost and subscription cost is for the diagnostic functions. Diagnostic side on the im608 is really good and can almost be compared with the mk908p only the online programming for Mercedes and bmw is not on im608.
But the rest off the coding and programming is still possible on the im608.
And the annual subscription of Autel IM608 is double.

How to Change Audi J518 Emulator for C6 A6 Q7?
Problem:
Could you help program this type of J518 ELV emulator? Already read EEPROM and flash from original ELV. Write eeprom with 4kb size. But car don’t start. Even recognize key.
Solution:
The ELV Emulator is used to replace the Audi C6 A6 Q7 steering column module J518 module when it’s failure.
How to Change the Audi J518 ELV Emulator?
1.Read out the EEPROM data from the original J518 module of your car (the emulator was already with flash data)
2. Write the EEPROM data you got in Step 1 into the emulator (if the original J518 MCU mask is 0L01Y, write the EEPROM data you got from step1 into the emulator directly;
or if the MCU mask of the original J518 is 1L59W/3L40K, you need to send EEPROM data to an expert to transfer EEPROM data when you write into the emulator directly. We don’t provide the service)
Feature:
It’s a universal solution, compatible with the three MCU types (1L59W, 3L40K, 0L01Y) of the original J518 module utilized.
Remove the vulnerable components, works more stable and durable.
With a simulated lock and unlock sounds generated by the horn on the board.
Easy for replacing.
Note:
The VVDIProg cable connector here is only for write the data to this emulator, not able to read the original J518 module
For reading the original J518 module data, still have to use the programmer solder wire to read.
This emulator has no lock and unlock function, if you need the module function as the original one on the ar, select the J518 replacement PCB.
Program Spare Key for 2020 Sentra using Autel 16-32 Adapter?
Here is a list of questions to ask:
1). Has anyone tried out the new Nissan gateway cable yet? Will it allow us to add keys to the 2021 Nissan Rogue?
2) AKL on 2020 Nissan Sentra – needs the 16 + 32 SGW adaptor. Anyone use this yet? what I’ve read I’ll need to get the PIN as well since it cannot extract it.
3) Can IM608 works with Nissan Sentra that has secure gateway. IM608 says the 16 + 32 cable working
4). Who been able to program spare key for 20020 sentra using the 16-32 adapter? I try today but not go.
Autel Nissan 16+32 Bypass cable:
Autel Nissan 16+32 Secure Gateway Adaptor for Autel MaxiIM IM608 and IM508
This cable is designed to be used with Nissan Sentra 2021+ and other models 8th Generation with B18 Chassis.
Add key (Bypass PIN Code) for Sylphy Micra and Sentra of 2021 Nissan
Suggestions:
1.Autel techniscan claimed it’s only for European Nissan but not USA model. Add key only in EUROPEAN. Not for American market yet.
2. Add key only with the bypass cable with 1 working key.
3. Only with Autel 16pin-32pin cable and it’s only for add a key not all keys lost.
With 16+32 gateway adapter, it doesn’t need the password when adding new key for Sylphy, Sentra and the car with B18 chassis.
Note: If all keys lost, it will require password to program new key. You need to get the PIN from an outside source since the tool won’t extract it.
it clearly shows in the screen
IM608 is asking for the gateway connector 16+32.
The “Controller Assembly–Central Gateway” is behind the instrument cluster. Vehicle disassembly is not necessary–the connectors can be accessed by reaching high above the brake pedal.
There’s a 32-pin connector, a 12-pin connector, and two coaxial connectors.
The 32-pin fits into the new Autel 16+32 cable.
Vehicle ignition is on (can’t start car with gateway unplugged, but can turn ignition on)
J2534 OBDII to the 16/32 cable
32-pin to the gateway cable
J2534 to cigarette lighter

Write Qashqai J10 BCM 284b2 Key with Tango or VVDI2
I read Nissan Qashqai J10 BCM 284b2 jd 12a by Orange5. There was only one option under Immo Mazda2 09- to read this MCU9s12xdt384(1L15Y). Read fine, Tango can show keys and login but I can’t write new key. When I add .bin file information appear “Add key not tested” When I write key or transponder pcf7936 info display “invalid crypto key” and it change chip page 3 from 06 to 0E making it crypto mode. Car has proximity twist on ignition/ key I tried original dealer key also blank pcf7936 and preceded for xtrail qashqai.
I tested also two random eeprom from DK file 4KB the same situation but one file 2kb write the key with no problem.
My question is did someone face this problem? where is the problem? can I use 2kb eeprom file with key from different car and write to my module with original flash?
Suggestion:
Try with another key maker tool? Tango is not the only one.
Xhorse VVDI2 EEPROM recognized and recorded it.
And key information:
Hope it helps!
How to Fix GM MDI GDS2 Not Connected?
I bought a Chinese GM MDI, I have a problem with my gds2 software I think, every time I use gds2 to connect to the mdi, it goes from red to yellow to green and then it disconnects saying not mdi found.
How to fix this problem?
- I have 2 mdi clone several years and whenever I have had a problem that does not connect is the mini usb of the mdi, check it and if you can change it and possibly everything works.
For instance Java issue is coming because you have not installed the Java or GDS2Java.
Also check if you have Tis2web installed.
You need Windows 7 ot 10 X86 or X64 and latest GM MDI installed. GM MDI has to be seen in the Manager.
Also you have to have latest VC++ and latest net.framework installed to be sure.
In a simple word:
Your windows system is missing something as:
– windows updates
– VC++ ( install all from 2005 to 2019 )
– Net.framework ( at least v4.0 the v4.8 is better )
– Java ( v6.26 or v7.17 if your are planning to use Global Tis ) or the latest if you will use Tis2web

How to Read BMW S63 ISN Correctly with Yanhua ACDP?
User feedback: used Yanhua Mini ACDP to read ISN for BMW S63 DME, it says “Not support to read ISN”.
Yanhua engineer replied:
There are 2 ways to read S63 DME ISN: via OBD or Bench mode by dismantling the DME.
If you dismantle the DME to read, it is okay too, but it will take you a little bit more time.
OBD Mode Read/Write ISN
If you use extra N20 Bench Integrated Interface Board, it can read 100% successfully
And ACDP APP comes with the wiring diagram which shows how to exactly connect N20 interface board to ACDP.
Bench (boot) mode connection
If you dismantle the DME to read, it is okay too, but it will take you a little bit more time.
Please follow the below guide to do:
