Autel IM608 Repeats EIS Prompt for Benz W220 Password Reading

 

One user gave a feedback that during the password calculation process of Autel MaxiIM IM608 it’s asking him to insert the key into the EIS for 10 seconds. What puzzles him is that the prompt displays almost every minute until the calculation success.

He’d done Benz key programming for several times but never had this happen before, and this time the car is Benz W220 2003. After repeating the step for many times, finally he got the password.

Besides, this issue happens on others as well. They said they’ve done this about 12 or 15 times to get the password and it’s normal to work on old Benz models.

Possible reason and solution:

Here our technical support believed that because of the old model the transmission signals of the EIS that turns rusty weakens. So they’d better try more time as the prompt.

In addition, our technical support prompts that there are three modes to calculate the Benz password by Autel MaxiIM IM608: On Vehicle, On bench(G-Box) and On bench. So make sure the connections are correct as the prompts and diagrams of different modes. For instance, On Vehicle mode often requires a bypass; Care the connections when Autel G-Box2 Adapter is needed, etc.

Therefore, the prompt “Insert the ignition key into the EIS and wait for 10s” is normal, just follow the prompts and finally it will give you the password.

Done!

Porsche EEPROM Programming with Autel IM608 Pro

 

Autel IM608 Pro is not only an on-vehicle programmer but also an EEPROM programmer. One tablet supports multiple ways to replace car keys, which can efficiently support your repair works. This post will show you that how to use it to program EEPROM on a Porsche.

EEPROM is hard to navigate. There are two scenarios for using EEPROM.

*   One is if you want to add a new key using certain vehicles like BMW, AUDI and Porsche.
*   Another is if you replace an ECU like the engine and need to read the old unit’s info.

It’s easy to program a Porsche key using Autel IM608 Pro and D flash. That means we will read the data from a chip.

Procedures:
First, take out the chipset from the immobilizer system
We need to read info from the chipset by connecting it with XP400 Pro key programmer.
Make sure you’re connected to the key programmer and the programmer is connected to the IM608 Pro tablet.

Next, go to learn key for Porsche.
Select Programmer>> Accept the disclaimer>> Chip (EEPROM, MCU, ECU)>> Chip read& write>> Immobilizer>> PORSCHE>> BCM>5M48H>R (Back up)

Read the operation guide and helpful information carefully

Since we’re reading data, we need to select “D- FLASH”
Then we can view the schematic diagram

Zoom in on the schematic diagram and study it closely to find the correct places to connect the wires.
Then follow the on-screen instructions to do

You need to cut a line in one spot and remove two other parts, then connect the wires accordingly. They are color coded and labeled to help you out.

Once the wires are connected, go back and select read, this will read the info from the ECU and record it in the tablet. We will use the info to learn a new key.

When the data has been read out, save the file into a new folder and call it whatever you want (such as porscheeeprom11).

After that, exit and go back to the home screen and select immobilizer function.
Select Porsche or auto scan the VIN
Select Expert Mode>> New Porsche

1.Load EEPROM data
Find the BCM type located on the chipset, then go into the programmer file and find your file porscheeeprom.

It’s beneficial for you at this point to take a picture of the info. Just in case it doesn’t load in the future.

2.Make dealer key
Put a blank key into the Autel XP400 Pro key programmer, then select make dealer key

Once make dealer key is successful, move on to key learning process.

3.Learn key
You need to connect your JVCI into the OBD2 port and learn the key
Make sure a skilled professional is performing the EEPROM process.

Done!

That’s the whole process to program new key to Porsche with Autel IM608 Pro with XP400 Pro.

How to Get SDConnect C4C5 to Work Under Part W

 MB Star diagnosis SDConnect C5 Clone (its a C4 in a C5 shell) – It works great in Xentry, connects and are fast and never fails there.

Windows 7 32 bit Ultimate Activated – Works perfectly as well and are fully updated
240gb SSD
Vediamo 4.2.2 with a good license and everything activated.
SDConnect Toolkit 2.1.13.

My question is: How to get Vediamo 4.2.2 to run on Part W configuration without the ToolkitApiDll.dll error and vediamo not finding your SDConnect c4/c5? Vediamo 4.2.2 has the Part W-SDconnect functionality integrated, yet when I try to use it stops detecting the SDConnect, because Vediamo doesn’t seem to want to communicate. It is not a computer to ecu error, it’s simply a computer-software error.

Simple question: how to get the SDConnect to work under Part W – SDConnect
And I mean Part W and not Part P-eCom.

Look at this image:

2.1.30 SDConnect Toolkit and Dietrih’s Vediamo 4.02.02 works with part W. Just gotta try with Me21.cbf now and see if we cannot simply get vediamo to work with this “Too old” ECU.

Update:

Success to connecting to the ECU now! It can read fault codes, see sensor data and some more stuff. Not really been giving me in to change anything yet because I am not sure what to do yet. But this is a great step forward!

Enjoy!

For any question on SDConnect C5, contact at www.obd2tool.com for assistance.

How to change GEM settings in Fiesta 2003

 

How to change GEM settings in Fiesta 2003 ?
I need to check or change the settings of the GEM in an Fiesta MK6 (build 2003).
Anyone knows a software tool to do this?
I have an ELM327 (clone) adapter at hand. Also an UCDS interface.

There are two software tools to do this:

IDS/VCM
Forscan

In details:
Ideally you want IDS/VCM for this.
At this age you can do anything to this car using a VCM with Ford IDS v86 and C81 calibrations.
Advise the best VCM2 Ford IDS V101 (with double pcb, no wifi):

Capable alternative: Forscan
ForScan is working fine. I had this, but an old version without capability to program. Downloaded the recent version from forscan.org and all worked like charm! This is a really great tool and all for FREE!

Another working alternative: FORScan Scanner clone
Test reports: China clone bought two days ago, but DTC, direct coding and other functions work.
