Problem:

I have a problem with thekt200 ecu programmer. I don’t see detailed information in the bottom window. I know there is some driver but I can’t find it anymore.

Solution:

Copy auto.exe and place it in the KT200-master folder.

What is the difference between the two applications Xdiag vs diagzone?

They both do the same thing. They both do normal coding. But still have differences.

1.You pay extra by diagzone for scan electric vehicle and also motorcycle. Diagzone version (old version in red) is only beta and does not work fine. For example tpms not working.

TPMS feature is not currently available on Xdiag and Diagzone old verison.

Regarding diagzone pro (new version in blue) you can work with TPMS function and use Topology scanning.

2.Xdiag has better look, it is like the current originalLaunch X431software. and the most important is that Xdiag pro3 has at all menus the TRANSLATE button, DZ has only later, only at finish/results page the translate button. It is a deal Breaker / big difference for people who not speak english well!

3.Both of them support adaptations and immo functions, xdiag has two immo resets (immo and immo prog) diagzone has one (immo)! it can be also a plus point for xdiag pro3!

4.Diagzone has more VW and Audi functions.

OBDSTAR also does motorcycle keys/fobs. Your best option is to buy theobdstar x300 dp plus. I have an autel im508 and whatever autel fails with obdstar has done for me. It is faster on ford’s also. especially when doing 2016+ all keys lost active alarm, don’t even bother with autel on them. it is also very good at doing nissan, when I get a nissan job I pull out the obdstar don’t even bother with the autel.

Also obdstar has made some pretty good advancements in Toyota keys, their last update said it can read immo data from obd. obdstar does have toyota pin code bypass cable that you hook up to the smart box without removing it from the car.
if you buy themotorcycle adapters kitas I did it came with all the Ford akl and motorcycle and powersport adapters. and free moto immo license. so it’s a pretty good price for $400 for it all.
it can also clone GM BCM.
it also can erase crash data from the modules.
there is a lot of stuff that the obdstar x300dp plus can do.

Question:

Need help or advice I have truck MAN TGS 2014 PTM module with mcu M29w160EB I haveAutel IM608with INKPA adapter for this mcu. But i can not see any mask for read this mcu.

Solution:

Autel or Xhorse will not read this mcu.

You can use a cheap MiniPro TL866 to read the chip and Tmpro2 to program a T5 transponder.

Alternatively if you have aKT200orFoxflashprogrammer you can read PTM module too.

After a battery replacement for the Porsche Cayenne 958 battery replacement, battery registration needs to be carried out. TheAutel MaxiAP AP200obd2 scanner is the cheapest option to do that.

I bought an AUTEL AP200 bluetooth dongle. It costs less than $70 and uses your iphone/android device. It supports Porsche Cayenne for BMS/OIL/TPMS servicing.

Battery Registration on the AUTEL MAXIAP AP200
AP200 is easy to setup with your phone. Download the Porsche profile which is free as your 1st manufacture profile. You have to pay $21 extra if you want additional manufacturer profiles.
– Has an OBD2 interface, you plug the dongle underneath the dashboard on the driver side, just above the accelerator pedal
– You set your car profile you use manual or automatic but you need VIN number, which is located on the boot door frame on the right side
– Ran diagnostic scan and clear codes before starting (takes about 5 to 10 minutes)
– IMPORTANT STEP. Performing the battery registration.
– Serial Number. I used the old battery serial number because VARTA batteries don’t have one. Its either on the BEM code sticker or use the diagnostic tool, look under the battery change history (under Gateway Live Data)
– Part Number. I used the PORSCHE OEM Part: 000915105CF, which is the same as the VARTA H15 battery
– Make: Varta
– Performing BMS.

When you do the BMS on the Autel AP200, don’t select the Porsche Cayenne as the model, because it won’t allow you to execute the settings. The button is greyed out. So to get around it use the Panamera model instead which has the same BMS interface and allows you to execute the command. I sent email to Autel to request them to fix it.
– Once done it will set the battery age to 100% and your battery profile is updated.
– Run another full diagnostic scan but this time using the Porsche Cayenne model, and check the Gateway Live Data option and check the battery information and the battery change history to validate the profile is updated.

Final Thoughts
– Now that Ive done this, I hope to never do this again! Hopefully the battery will last long enough so I can upgrade to a newer Cayenne 9YA model when they are affordable (battery under the foot rest)
– Highly recommend the VARTA battery or similar high spec battery. $200 more than the cheaper batteries but provides faster cranking and longer life. Also I think VARTA are the OEM batteries for Porsche
– Highly recommend the AP200 bluetooth dongle. Aside from the BMS issue, its a great entry level tool with a ton of features for only $66.99. Already learning so much about my car. Maybe upgrade to theMX808tool, but so far AP200 is fine for the basics.
– Highly recommend to do the battery registration. I ran my old battery way too long to the point I had to nearly jump start it everytime I drove it (I didnt drive much due to pandemic), and didnt realise the onboard computer automatically shuts down some electrical components to save power! Example is my front parking sensor not working for nearly a year, Porsche quoted me over $1000 to fix it. But after I did the battery registration they work fine now. Also noticing little improvements in fuel efficiency and power.

– I have used my Autel MaxiAP AP200 on Porsche 981, 991.2 and 718 as well, using just the free initial download (Porsche software). It will scan and read all systems for faults and will create a written PDF file for your records, prior to resetting the faults. Worked great on my 718 when I have the PPF installed and they disconnected my battery, as the car threw up faults in just about every system that needed to be reset. The one item that is not in the Porsche software is the ABS Brake Controller Fluid Bleed. Yet it does every other DIY service I have needed. Plus I like that it works without the need for a Windows PC or Apple computer. Works off my Phone or Table. For a versatile lower cost OBD II Reader/Reset Tool with some good Service Functionality, theAutel AP200is worth investigating.

VAG SimosPCR2.1 OBD Unlockallows all future programming to be done through OBD using KT200 and Foxflash. Here we introduce PCR 2.1 unlock on bench mode.

 

Simos PCR2.1 Bench Tricore pinout

 

 

KT200Unlock Simos PCR 2.1 on bench
1. Unlock eeprom.
2. Read/Modify/Write flash.
3. Checksum KT200

Important! Let KT200 correct the Checksum. I have corrected Checksum manually and it has given me an error when typing, then I have let KT200 correct the CKS and everything OK.

FoxFlash works too.
