  Car model and year: 2014 Audi A6 with all keys lost, it is proximity key and does not has slot. Car has bcm2 unencrypted. Tool to use: Autel IM608 Autel wants this done to get immo info. Has anyone had success with this Procedure? Autel official reply: Currently, the pin and cs of VW A6 Immo4 cannot be calculated and the user needs to obtain it from others. Here I share one user’s feedback: I did, you need read bcm on bench, write key in dump to can turn ignition on, then read ecu and tcu over abs CAN-L and CAN-H. Then I unlock key with KEYDIY KD-X2 and make dealer key again and adopt on car. BTW, you don’t need data from elv. FYI, I use cable from MPPS, only +12, GND, CAN-L-H. I mean unlock key with KEYDIY KD-X2 (shown as following image): For the proximity key with no slot: Put the jumper on 1 and 16 and ignitions. I already have bcm2 immo data. That was easy. If you already have information about BCM2 you should know that you can now reprogram keys you do ...

This article is about to show you how to program a new PCM for most Hondas and Acuras using Autel MaxiIM IM508 / IM608 . The support list: https://www.autel.com/vehicle-coverage/coverage2 Here we have a Acura MDX 2005 to handle by the Autel IM508 Key Programmer. This is the 3rd generation immobilizer, which is used on many Hondas like Accord or Acuras like TLX. The car won’t start because of the new ECU in. We will reprogram it, so the key will work again. Go to IMMO>>Acura>>Automatic selection Turn on the ignition so it will pull out the VIN. Then go to The 3rd mechanical key system>>Replace ECM/PCM After about 5 minutes, we’ve registered the PCM. Meanwhile, the immobilizer light disappears. Turn off the ignition as required. Follow instructions to check keys. The car starts without any issues. Done! Nice and simple!

Vehicle model example: Ford F-250 2001 super duty Problem: Not able to write VIN on the used PCM module after PCM replacement. Device used to program: Autel MaxiIM IM608 & MaxiFlash J2534 (The module is in default package) Ford OEM subscription FYI: Normally IM608 alone can do this procedure.  All you need to do is click programming and look for a programmable module installation (PMI) which is a sequence in that the software will save all the original PCM’s information in IM608, then prompt you when to put the replacement module on it. Next it will then transfer all the information to the replace module. With this vehicle 2001 F-250 it does not have this functionality on the IM608 so to do this procedure will be using J2534 with the OEM subscription. J2534 ECU Programmer Procedure: Go to Ford Diagnostic Menu->Auto Scan->Programming->Programmable Module Installation The Autel IM608 does not have the “Programmable Module Install...

M35080, M35080_6 can be erased by upa, xprog and a lot more programmers On M35080V6 and D80D0WQ you need special programmes like ETL or Codiprog or machines like digiprog, enigma to erase them. In any case incremental area has to be erased before writing.
