May15

The APB131 adapter is compatible not only with Autel MaxiIM IM508/IM608 devices but also with OTOFIX IM1/IM2 euquipment. Today, we will share user feedback and demonstrate how to add a key using the OTOFIX IM2 and APB131. The process is similar to that of the IM608.

It is a Audi Q3 F3 2020. The car was deliered with one key, need to add a spare key.Immobilizer data is stored in the dashboard. The task is to add a spare key to this model with OTOFIX IM2 key programmer.
The process of removing the instrument panel was short. you only need to disassemble half the dashboard and soon it was already lying on the table.

Cluster Number: 83A920800B

Processor

In this case, you need the APB131 adapter(MQB-V850/RH850)
We connect it, supplied additional power to the programmer, and in 7-10 minutes the file was ready

The file needs to be saved, then select”Immo-data” and add the saved file there. After that, you will have the CS and Mac code.

The next step is to prepare the dealer key (2keys)
Then in the menu you need to perform the learning, which is also called”Key adaption” . On the instrument panel at the button, there will be 0/3. Then we apply the keys to the immobilizer coil one by one until there is 3/3.

Xhorse CAS3 Adapter vs Yanhua ACDP CAS3 Adapter

May7

Question:
Is it safe to read CAS3 module using CAS3 solder free adapter ? Xhorse and Yanhua ACDP CAS3 adapter, which is better ?

Here is the clue.

Xhorse CAS3 adapter(XDNP11):
It takes time to align.
The cas3 solderfree adatper can be tricky sometimes and some have hard time reading. You need to make sure you clean the coating off all the contact points really good.

Sometimes you will get chip crack failed error.

If you have an error chip crack failed with xhorse CAS3 adapter, remove clear coat from solder points, and it reads fine. Just scrap it with needle etc. Be careful.

Always use servisol PCB cleaner on boards, leave for 10ins, brush with semi firm brush, then spray again and brush.

YANHUA Mini ACDP CAS3 Adapter:

For CAS many users recommend Yanhua ACDP. Autohex is more complicated than it needs to be. ACDP adapters do pin connection checks which we quite like.

We use the acdp boards. It checks all pins contact before it ever start decryption, so if you get connection issues during flash read then that’s a user thing or workspace error.

We would honestly say ACDP is the best though.

There will be a few times when ACDP will tell your to write back. Do what it says to do . Generally you do not write it back.

In sum:

Reading is ok with these CAS3 solderless adapters. Don’t write back. That where most mistakes happen.

The best method will remain welding.

Godiag CAS3 Test Platform Not Connect with Autel ?

May7

Problem:

Has anyone had any success with autel and communicating with cas3 using Godiag cas3 platform ?
Work with vvdi key tool plus but can’t get communication with autel ?

The Godiag CAS3 test platform does not work with Autel devices. It doesn’t work with OBDSTAR,Lonsdor either.

Autel doesn’t have a data transmission frequency oscillator, so it can’t communicate with the CAS.
Xhorse does have one integrated into the tablet KTP, so it can match the data transmission with the CAS and thus achieve communication.
For CAS3, use APB109 adatper with IM508 or IM608
It works with Xhorse VVDI2, VVDI Key Tool Plus, VVDI Key Too Max Pro, VVDI BIMTOOL Pro, CGDI BMW, Abrites Avdi devices.

Autel IM608 Newer Volvo DOIP Models Error 11003 Solution

May7

Problem:
Autel IM608 Pro II can not read the check engine light on a 2022 Volvo S60. Can not read the faults.
The device subscription has expired. It gives error 11003

Solution:
The Autel TCP subscription is a paid service that provides access to online programming and other advanced diagnostic features for Autel Diagnostic Tools.
Error 11003 code specifically signals that the TCP subscription on the device has expired or is invalid.

This is a DoIP model. That is a DOIP platform. Diagnostic over internet protocol. Volvo and Jaguar and RangeRover are all using it now. It has a secure gateway.

You have to have an active TCP subscription to diagnose Volvo DoIP models.

Autel needs both internet connection and valid subscription to work with SPA/CMA and later Volvos.

Generic obd2 on the scanner would have read it or keep your subscription up. That’s not Autel’s fault.

It’s not up to Autel, Autel just follow regulations , DOIP protocol just buy license and work.
