Program GMC Yukon Denali 2021 Key by Autel OBDSTAR or Xtool?

As titled, which key programmer can be used to add key or program all keys lost on a GMC Yukon Denali 2021?

 

1.Autel IM508orIM608

When you try to add key for GMC Yukon Denali 2021, you shoud have can FD OBD, but MaxiIM will give you this code

autel GMC Yukon Denali 2021

Auto can’t get this done on it’s own.
Ecm not password default, before it’s changed, autel can’t not read password. You need get password calculated by Autel team or third-party.

All the new SUVs (Yukon, Tahoe, Escalade etc), new 2021 proximity is CAN FD immo system. An Autel CAN FD adapter is required. For the new system it needs outside help for pincode.

Check:Autel MaxiIM GM Security Verification Code Calculation Instruction

They team view into your unit and do the code process and then get you to the point of programming the new fob.

Full size vehicles are different than the others. on the full size models you have to get a pincode, that isn’t pulled from the vehicle like the other models.

autel can fd adapter

 

 

 

obdstar X300 DP Plus: Confirmed, but sometimes server will be down

Need to pay one extra OBDSTAR CAN FD Adapter (Supports GM Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Buick 2020 2021)

Look at the adapter below:

obdstar can fd adapter
This kit can do Cadillac Escalade 2021, also does 2021 dodges.

And what specific models and year CAN FD Adapter supports:

You will see Cadillac Escalade 2021 is covered.

obdstar can fd coverage

Example:
 
 
 
3.Xtool X100 PAD2/PAD 3/Elite with CAN FD adapter
 

People programmed many of these models by xtool.
x100 pad 2 with new update and CanFd 100% no code like old model

xtool x100 pad2 GMC Yukon Denali 2021

4. J2534+ Techline Connect SPS

It can be done with dealer software with original orclone MDI2or other J2534 adapters.

Just download tech line connect with sps2 and if you have a j2434 device (none Autel) you can add keys and all keys lost very easy.
Many use cardaq plus3 and program those keys all day. You can’t use Autel j2534 since no can fd.

 

5. AUTOPROPAD G2 TURBO Yes

Autel IM508 VW Passat ID48 Copy Not Supported Solution

Problem:

Try to clone or add Vw Passat 2011 ID48 key withAutel IM508but failed. Same message ‘UPDATE: cloned with mini key tool and remote programmed with 508’. wouldnt let me clone it went into clone 48 same message.

 

Autel IM508 VW Passat ID48 Cloning Type Not Supported

 

Solution:

You can clone it but not with Autel. Autel needs immo data for cloning.
For cloning still need the immo data and you don’t have it. Use another tool to clone, KD or Xhorse or something the like. Program remote separately.
Passat B6 and B7 2009-2013 is bench job on CCM module.
Read eeprom in CCM module on bench, then do key learning on obd.

 

Feedback:

Updated. key cloned byxhorse mini key tooland remote programmed successfully.

5 Steps to Solve Autel IM508 LACK OF STORAGE

How to solveAutel MaxiIM IM508/IM608/IM608Proand other Autel tablets LACK OF STORAGE – CANNOT UPDATE problem.

 

Firstly – These tools are NOT NORMAL ANDROID devices! And you CANNOT use any external storage as additional storage.

Autel has made their own "work around” for this allow SOME car brands to be installed onto a Micro SD Card.

YOU DO NOT NEED ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A 32GB SD CARD AS THE TOOL WILL NOT USE IT FOR ANYTHING BUT THE BRANDS DECIDED BY AUTEL.

Secondly – This process will only work if your tool is IN LICENCE. If you attempt this out of licence you will end up with a tool with NO SOFTWARE on it.

Step 1:
Install a 32Gb Micro SD Card into the tool.
Autel recommends SanDisk but any quality Class 10 card will work (prefer Kingston).

Step 2:
In the Android Settings find "Back up and Reset” Choose "Erase Everything”
*****AGAIN IF YOUR NOT IN LICENCE YIU WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING*****
The tool will Wipe everything out (accounts, Wifi settings, and Scan data).

Step 3:
The tool will restart. Reconnect it to your Wifi, Open the MaxiIM app, go to Updates. install any system Updates (System, OS, LinComm, etc).

Step 4:
INDIVIDUALLY Updates these brands:
BMW, BENZ, VW.
After each brand is updated, back out of updates, go to Data Manager, then Vehicle Manager. If the tool hasn’t already installed them onto the SD Card then move them across.

Step 5:
Once the above updates are done you can then Bull Update the rest.
After they are all updated go back to Vehicle Manager and move across any other car brands that the tool lets you.
This should fix the issue.

Which is A Better Programmer to Program Porsche BCM Key

Which is the better Porsche BCM key programming tool, Autel IM508/IM608, Xhorse VVDI or Yanhua Mini ACDP?

 

Autel MaxiIM IM508/IM608

You have to disassemble the BCM. You also need to be able to desolder 2 components. You have to take a module out, solder some wires, cut some circuits on the board.
Number 15 remove.

 

autel im508 porsche bcm 1

autel im508 porsche bcm 2

autel im508 porsche bcm 3

 

Read bcm, make dealer key, programming obd. The procedure is not difficult.

If from bcm mcu is 5M48H, it has less risk, you can try to do it on bench.

If it comes with 2M25J, be carefull, it will be expensive and very risky job.

Removing components is easy but many will screw the BCM while cutting the line.
Not worth the risk.

autel im508 porsche bcm 4

Do NOT touch that BCM with XP400 Pro!!! 90% chance you will make the MCU memory go wrong.

 

Check the instruction here

Program Porsche Macan 2015 Key with Autel IM608 via EEPROM

 

Xhorse VVDI

Xhorse have adapters. VVDI Prog does good job on it!

You can do it withvvdi prog+ vvdi2orkey tool plususingno soldering adapter, it’s much easier, but be very careful.

 

vvdi key tool plus porsche bcm

 

vvdi prog + vvdi prog without problem.

Read d-flash/pflash. Write key via dump tool and write back dflash. Or do key learning (don’t need to write back)

 

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 1

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 2

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 3

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 4

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 5

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 6

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 7

vvdi prog vvdi2 porsche bcm 8


Yanhua Mini ACDP
ACDP breezes these too. Not by OBD. By ICP mode.
I have done one since with ACDP. Was straight forward.

 

yanhua mini acdp porsche bcm 1

yanhua mini acdp porsche bcm 2

yanhua mini acdp porsche bcm 3

yanhua mini acdp porsche bcm 4

 

Key programming procedure goes here

Yanhua Mini ACDP Adds A New Key to Porsche BCM 1N36H No Soldering

 

CG Pro 9S12

CG Pro 9S12 does not have solder free adapter. You need good soldering skills like xp400.

You can read data, and write key directly in CGPro, don’t need another tool.

CG Pro Read Porsche 2015 1N35H BCM and Write Key (No Need Other Devices)

For FULL MODE modality use also:
– Rainbow flat cable
– 3 resistores 120 Ohm

Note:
Connect also the rainbow flat cable as shown in the figure only to communicate with the FULL MODE driver.
To read and write the Flash and the EEPROM using the FULL MODE driver, in addition to the multifunction cable, also connect the violet, orange and brown wires of the rainbow flat via a 120 Ohm protection resistor. In this way the ECU will enter Full Mode mode.

Attention:

If the ECU doesn’t enter boot mode, proceed as follows:
→ Switch off the ECU and remove the grey wire.
→ Connect directly to ground the boot pin with a needle.
→ Switch on the ECU.
→ Remove the ground.
→ Launch the driver and click the read / write buttons.

 

Read and Write EDC15C2 with KT200 in boot 2

Read and Write EDC15C2 with KT200 in boot 3

Read and Write EDC15C2 with KT200 in boot 4

 

Question:

When I read Edc15C2 PSA ecu id, why are there dots in the place of the data? It read and wrote flash and eeprom.

 

Read and Write EDC15C2 with KT200 red dot 1

2 Ways to Read SI206 ECU with KT200

How to read and write SID206 ECU withKT200orFoxflash? OBD or BDM.

 

 

Ford SID206

SID206 Ford both yes work fine obd and bdm.

 

OBD mode:

OBD tested working on many models, Mondeo, Kuga, Tourneo, C-max etc all tested working fine.

Read and write obd okay.

Read/Modify file/Write, OBD checksum with KT200/Foxflash ok.

If failed to auto checksum, counted with winols (for example Kuga).

kt200 Ford SID206 1

BDM mode:

SID206 BDM read (18 minutes)

 

kt200 Ford SID206 via bdm 1

kt200 Ford SID206 via bdm 2

 

BDM mode pinout

 

kt200 Ford SID206 bdm pinout 1

kt200 Ford SID206 bdm pinout 2

 

To read and write use the following driver:
→ BDM/ JTAG MODE
→ BDM MPC
→ MPC55x/56x

 

 

Volvo SDI206

OBD need luck.

Volvo C30 SID206 OBD Correct ECU selected, Read doesn’t work

 

foxflash volvo sid206 1

foxflash volvo sid206 2

 

A lot of Volvo are missing kline from ecu to obd port. You can do them on the bench in obd mode.

also, dual can connection cable is only needed for edc17 in some volvo.

try obd bench mode pinout

 

foxflash volvo sid206 3

 

If failed, try BDM mode.
