I just tried to add a spare key to a 2008 c-class mercedes,it has one original key. I went through the procedure to add key,that 'seemed' to go well but new key done absolutely nothing! I read the new key afterwards and all correct info was on it.Looked at the eis tracks on the Autel and original jey was on pisition 1,key i added was showing up as position 8,but,it doesn't show on the eis track list?? The track list shows position 1 and 2 used,the rest empty!So how does my key read as being in position 8,but it really isn't???
I want to get into the business of programming keys for people. Is this just the programming part? Someone said you also have to cut the key for the customer. Do you have to buy some type of key cutter as well to do this business?
Thank you for your video, I have cuestion about the scan tool key programer , this Tool have same functions of Maxisys 908, for Diagnostic functions and active test etc?
@@vencentbauer problem with these is the VIN. On some older models, you cannot change the VIN. Even with original microphones, autel or dmax. Only tool I have seen that might do it Advanced Diagnostic. But I don't have that tool. So I cannot say. Some WIN modules VIN cannot be rewritten. I have tried and failed. Maybe eeprom? But I have never tried it. Good luck!
Thank you for the great video. Can we program a Mercedes Keyless Go remote (add key) directly on the vehicle without the use of XP400 tool? using Maxisys 908?
Thank you for the video. I am looking to purchase IM-608 pro+ for my shop. Do you still need to be registered with NASTF security registry to us this tool?
I am doing my first Mercedes with the IM608 this weekend. I am just hoping I have the correct key. How did you determine which aftermarket key to use. It is a 2007 so I don't believe it had prox so I just got a few of the cheaper keys. I believe they are 315mhz I just hope customers are also 315mhz.
I use standard be key from iks or mks. Prox keys require x horse programmer. A little different programming as well. Email me if you run into issues. Just did 03 w230 key Friday with 608.
Yes with aftermarket you can. I just did one for a salvage yard last night that I will reuse the key after they get the vehicle running before dismantling
@@SpartanAutoworx I see, as I understand the aftermarket is the one that has 3 IC chip inside?, 1 of them is the EEPROM. The key I have has only 2 IC chips inside but there is no sufficient info regarding these chips. I have tried to program that key with Im608PRO, but I got an error message key not supported.

Hello, question for you, I am programming the key fob for MB CL500. IM608 keeps prompting "the current key is detected to be invalid. Please replace with a legal blank key and press ok". I have two brand new aftermarket key fobs, from UHS. Any suggestions?

2013 and 14 last years you can program with non factory tool at this time. Google I believe its johnny fsb4 he claims to do it but never used him. Dealer only some 14- current
Hello can you help me please? I got stuck on step 4 obtain password. I got message "Unable to connect to the network, please check network settings" I can confirm that I got good connection as I just downloaded all the updates. Regards
You cannot read the data by OBD then since EIS not accessable by OBD as far as my experience goes, you need to use IR key emulator , at least that is what I did on last W203 from 2001. It's supplied with the IM608. You use it instead of a key, on car, not on the bench (also possible).
Hello we are trying to program a key. There is no key on car. Got a virgin key. But computer won’t comunícate with ecu key does not turn to on position. How to get it to on position you know

There is a function for it but have never used it. I would assume only Aftermarket keys can be erased.

Hi friend, did you try the eprom unit when the car is up to the Toyota Honda Ford it can work through eprom?
I have never had to do anything with eeprom on Ford or Toyota or Honda. You can guide thru via prompts to learn keys
Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro or the Autel Im608? Is the IM608 token based like the smart pro?
No tokens on the autel
who sells the keys? dealer or are there aftermarket options? Thanks
Both options are available.
Is this update every year for use?
It wasn’t but Friday it gave me an error about non active subscription when connecting to server to calculate Mercedes password. Not sure if glitch or new thing.
Does the im508 work on mercedes if your circuit board broke inside the fob and can not turn the key if I buy a new key can it be programmed
Will need the AKL adapter
Is it the same process for a GL450? If I am doing a copy?
Yes smart mode should work just fine. Might need Gbox not sure. Do most of my mercedes on the bench now with xhorse since I get mail in.
How can i do if i lost the original key? How i put ignition position 2?
Use the IR simulator you do not turn the key on. Just insert the simulator
Do you have the VVDI MB and if you do.... would you recommend this or the VVDI? Or would it be better to have both?
Do not have VVDI for MB. Autel has never let me down yet for MB programming.
