Question:

So if I already have a IM508 with XP200 and I only obtained theAPB112 Smart Key Emulatorthing for the time being . Am I able to do All keys lost on Toyotas with Smart /Proximity keys or not? Do I still have to also buy the XP400 in order to do this on any Toyota or other Asian makes? I couldn’t see in this video if an XP400 had to be used.

 

Solution:

APB112 is compatible withIM508(with XP200),IM608(XP400),IM608 Pro(XP400 Pro) and the older Auro Otosys IM100 and IM600.

But in the near future there will be some vehicles that need both the xp400 and apb112 to execute the key coding procedure.

It depends where you are getting the existing key data from. If you are pulling it OBD then the emulator should plug into the IM508/IM608 unit. If you are eeproming, you will need the xp400 or xp400pro to read the chip as well.

 

The Autel APB112 smart key emulator is designed to collect the data send from the ignition coil, aiming to identify the ignition coil troubles and decode the data of the vehicle key chip.
It an also emulate the vehicle key chip.

Autel APB112 expands the tablets’ already significant coverage and functionality by enabling you to quickly. Add keys to Toyota and Lexus vehicles in an All Keys Lost scenario.

Top advantages of APB112:

1. 1. Time saving. APB112 takes 2-5 mins, no need to wait 16 minutes or more.
   2. You can add-a-key which doesn’t erase other keys so if they have more keys at home they don’t need to re-add them.
   3. If you have a bad steering lock you can’t reset for AKL this is the only way to make a key. If you try to program the steering lock it will ask you to tap the key and if you try to make a key it will say it can’t because you don’t have a working steering lock.
   4. You can start the car at no cost if they just want to drive it home where they have spare keys.
   5. Can do Hyundai Kia (calculate ID 46 pin code) and even Subaru

How to connect APB112 key simulator?

1. 1. 1. Connect the APB112 smart key simulator to Autel Diagnostic Device with the supplied USD cable;
      2. Complete the connection, status indicator lights solid blue, indicating that the APB112 smart key simulator is working properly. Then it will communicate with the diagnostic device automatically.
      3. According to the selected vehicle system function, the APB112 smart key simulator application is automatically upgraded on the Autel diagnostic device;
      4. In order to decode the chip, please place the smart key simulator close to the ignition coil for data collection. After decoding, the original car chip data can be copied;
      5. The emulator key chip can generate various types of key chipsby performing subsequent upgrades as needed.

 

Demo:Program Toyota Camry 2016 All Smart Keys Lost with Autel IM508 & APB112

 

1). It works with the IM508, used it already, works like a charm. Sometimes it doesn’t want to back up immo data but then you risk it on resetting the smart box….

2).Works fine with xp200I’ve done it multiple times. Also have xp400 and works with both.

3). Yes it does. I have the IM508 and have used the APB112 multiple times.

4). So far I’ve used the APB112 with just the 508, ‘17 Tacoma, 18 Camry, 13 Lexus all smart keys,worked perfect didn’t use either XP200 or XP400.</div

5). APB112, works with the tool. Not with the XP programmers . Look at your im508. You only have one USB port.

6). 2014 Toyota Avalon AKL. Customer provide Smart key
Done with IM508 and APB112
APB112
1. Back up Immobilizer
2. Make simulator key
3. Add key
15 min ‘s job.

 

7)

I’ve used it on about 4 Toyota Camry Hybrids to do AKL

Just plugs into the autel via USB directly

Read immo data, make emulator, use it to make program a new key

Leave it plugged in while you’re using it, as soon as you unplug it it wipes it ready for the next key

 

.

Yes, Just plug right to the IM508/608.No need for the XP400

9)

Successes, withAutel APB112smart key simulator. With IM-100. It took less than 5 minutes, On a 2017 Toyota Highlander, proximity key. All Keys Lost. . Was Fast & Easy. No need for the XP 400. Quick steps review. Open vehicle, wake up computer, turn on flashers, connect by OBD-II, and connect to Internet. Locate vehicle on tool, Backup eeprom data, and save file. Re-inter tool, and generate simulator. Test if ignition turns on. Re-inter tool, go to Add key, by apb112, yes! Use simulator to start process, add key. Job done. Very Nice tool

14). 100% worth every penny. I do AKL on a 2012 Prius
15). I used this on a Lexus where another locksmith had tried before me and locked it out after reset. I was shocked it worked
16). Yeah it works perfect even on hyundai honda subaru
17). Works great, did a Camry had to try without the adapter because I did not have it and I waited the 16 min but for some reason it failed came back the next day and did it with this no problem

First comes withLaunch X431 V/X431 V+/X431 PRO/ PRO3/ PAD2Wireless PrinterSetup

procedure . Then how to print Health Reports wirelessly from Launch x431 V scan tool.

Part 1: Launch X431 V /X431 PRO/ PRO3/ PAD2 Wireless Printer Setup

Firstly, you have to set up a printer plugin for the first time you use it, it should prompt you to install the correct one, be sure that you’ve selected correct printer and click the print icon.

Step 1. Android devices do not have "drivers” built into the tablet, so you haveto download your wireless printers’ specific app from either "google play store” or the printer manufacturer’s website.

Step 2. Install the wireless printer app onto the X431 tablet and follow the on screen instructions.

Step 3. Configure the app you installed on the tablet to your wireless printer

Step 4. You can now "share” any images, screenshots and X431 diagnostic reports via the app to your own wireless printer.

5. To access this menu press the "share” icon and then select your printer app.

Part 2. How to print Health Reports wirelessly from Launch x431 V scan tool

You can see, I have already completed the health report for this vehicle, now I need to click on "Report” at bottom and enter the relevant information, click on "ok” and it will give me a PDF version.

Next I choose "Save as PDF”.

Now I can exit the launch software, I have Adobe Reader installed, I open reader and find the file, after it loads I go to the menu at the top right corner and click on "Print”.

That’s it. I hope it helps.

Enjoy!

HaveMercedes Benz 2014 Eand2020 GLS, planning to invest one proper diagnostic scanner to pull out the fault code because I strongly suspectdriver’s seat seatbelt latch. WhichBenz scannerget that granular with its data to point to where the code is originating from.

1. ICarsoft MB2 review

I also have two Benz’s and I like the ICarsoft MB2. it has more capability than a generic scanner and covers everything I could fix myself and works as a generic OBD2 reader. you can add chips specific to other cars, and it’s priced at around 150 dollars.

Xentryis obviously better and there are more professional scanners that can read more codes on more cars, but they are usually twice as much, I found the Icarsoft to be the happy medium .

2. Launch X431 V+review

In the shop I have a Launch X431 V+ tablet scanner thatdoes (so far) everything that xentry does AND it covers pretty much every other auto maker out there. Hasn’t let me down yet. Cost about $1K new, includes 2 years of updates. I’ve used it to repair my Chevy airbags, fueling issues on the wife’s jeep,my W211 and have coded some features into and out of my new-to-me W212.

I haven’t run into anything on the Benz/Chevy/Jeep it can’t do. I haven’t any experience with STAR/Xentry, but I get the sense that it takes a bit different route to get where you want to go but it gets there.

So far, I’veturned off the seatbelt warning chime and disabled the function that moves the front passenger seat forward and upright when the rear seat back is folded down. Since my car doesn’t have the ECO on/off, I haven’t looked to see if it can flip that bit. I don’t doubt that if it can be done via Xentry, it can be done with the Launch. From the product description and from looking around in its database I know it’ll teach the car about new parts likeSBC brake modules (on the W211), airmatic shocks, steering angle sensors, new batteries, etc.

3. Xentryreview

"Coding” can really only be done via MB Star SD Connect C4 Xentry online or Vediamo on W212 and newer chassis’. There are "settings” that can be set offline in Xentry or certain generic scan tools. Settings like: parktronic beep tone and volume, automatic headrest preset, front seat position when folding rear seats, enable/disable TPMS, etc…

HOWEVER, most of us with Xentry are using a "clone SDS (MB Star diagnostic system)” and recent events at MB have made it difficult to be able to use the online functionality. That online functionality is required for many module replacements, software updates and SCN coding.

but you can use Vediamo or pay someone to "login”. Otherwise, all diagnostic functions are done "offline” in Xentry.

As far a the ECO start/stop, I don’t know as I’ve never looked for it as neither of our W212s have it. Maybe its there, maybe not. I bet it can be done in Vediamo, which is MBs engineering software for coding and its not the most user friendly and can leave a module "bricked” if done incorrectly.

Supplement:

I was playing around with Xentry on a ’18 E400… ECO start/stop parameters are in the ECU, front SAM and rear SAM. However none have manual settings to enable/disable the feature I could see. This conforms [not possible via Xentry] to what I’ve been told by a friend [tech] working for MB USA.

One interesting thing I saw in the manual settings for the front SAM, which included: headlight cleaning, trunk illumination, and a few others was they were password protected. Similar in fashion to SCN or software updates, where Xentry connects online for access and variant coding. The language was like: request your local Mercedes…. for special password.

Alright, what’s your option?
