Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product

The Autel MaxiIM IM508S is a 7-inch key programming tool on Android 11, supplied with the XP200 key programmer. It covers PIN/CS reading, key and remote learning, IMMO ECU reset, EEPROM and MCU work, all-system diagnostics and 40+ service functions.
This IM508S is IP-restricted and works only in India, the Middle East and Africa. It does not work in other regions, so it should not be ordered for use in Europe, North America or anywhere outside those three areas.
The IM508S moves from a 1.6 GHz A9 processor to a 1.8 GHz A55, from Android 4.4.4 to Android 11, and from 1 GB + 32 GB to 4 GB + 64 GB memory. Screen, battery, XP200 programmer, weight and function list stay the same.
The IM508S kit holds the tablet, the XP200 key programmer, the main cable, mini USB cables, a USB power adapter, the APA001 EEPROM clamp with MC9S12 cable, APB001 EEPROM adapter, APB002 68HC908 adapter, APA002 EEPROM socket, documents and a carrying case.
Yes. The IM508S reads the PIN or CS for all keys lost work, then generates and learns new keys and remotes. Support depends on the vehicle maker, model and software version, and chip simulation jobs need the Autel APB112 adapter, sold separately.
The IM508S ships with the XP200, which reads key chips, clones and generates keys and reads EEPROM and MC9S12 MCUs. Autel states the programmer functions are covered most extensively with the XP400 Pro and its accessories, which are sold separately.
No. Autel lists online coding, offline coding, hidden functions, guided functions and offline programming as not supported on the IM508S. For those jobs Autel offers the IM608 Pro II, which adds coding with the JVCI+ interface and the XP400 Pro.
This IM508S includes 2 years of software updates over Wi-Fi. Updates add vehicle coverage and functions, so keep the tablet current before each job. The Update app on the job menu installs them. After the 2 years, updates continue through a paid Autel subscription renewal.
