[@marcelldiaz4930]

Hello. Just have 1 question. At the end say to put key for 10 seconds on the sart coil and press for 10 seconds. Do we do this part on the FEM Simulator or after all is put back and install on the car? Thanks for all you put up. Is a big help.

[@israelkrauss153]

hello greetings from Mexico very good videos congratulations. why in your i'm 608 all the time you have only 12 volts and 11.90 in bench there is no problem that we don't have 13 volts?

[@davidcespedes2871]

Thank you so much for your videos , questions why do you disconnect the negative ⚫️ battery terminal and not the positive 🔴? What difference does it make? Thanks so much. You are the best ,,, thank you for time

[@Canbus_AT]

u disconnect the negative battery cable first because working on the negativce side first is no danger when touching other things, if u disconnect + first u can touch something with your tool and sparks will fly, so u teach to disconnect negative first so those accidents dont happen in the first place

Hi Curtis, I have a autel 608. how do I check if there has had keys added before via obd? Thanks

Great video. Any idea where I can buy this accessory for BMW. I’m in Ireland

[@mishokorlov]

👍 Thanks for that! I just checked my keys status and i discovered that there's 3 keys programmed in FEM but the bad news that 3rd slot is taken I've heard that at list should slot 7 6 or 5 but if slot 3 is taken then i can't add another key. Is there solution for that 🤔

[@coskunaltindagli6976]

Dear Curtis, 🔴 In the diagram shown at 8:22, the connection of the APA 103 cable to the xp400 is shown incorrectly. The red wire should be connected to the programmer on the reverse side, not the IR reader side. Like at 10:07 seconds. Also, this diagram does not show how to connect APA 103 cable to the fem module eprom. This can mislead people. 🔴 First explains how to make a connection with the connection diagram. After explaining the key programming process is started. But; 1- When starting the process, there is no information about whether the power is on or off. 2- In the diagram described, fuses are not installed on the Fem module, so key programming cannot be started like that. 3- In the diagram described, it is shown that the xp400 is connected to the eprom and the programming process is started in this way. When starting the programming, no eprom connection is made at this stage. Moreover, in the video described, it is seen that the voltage is on while xp400 connected to the eprom and started process like this, 10:27. Starting this process with the power on depending on the eprom will damage the eprom. I think correcting these details will eliminates the possibility of making mistakes. Thanks.

[@AutelConsultancy]

Its difficult to pin point our issue with a proper diagnoses. Maybe there is an underlining problem with the key or component in the immo system. You can try see what faults are stored in the immo system then try relearning the remotes separately if that function is there.

[@bobbaxter952]

How do you do this with the im508 since it doesn't have the j2534?Are you using the j2534 just to provide 12v power here??So when I use the im508 and my Godiag test platform I just use a 12v power supply to the Godiag from somewhere?

A couple of times I wrote down the keys from 434Mhz to F32. and after that the car starts up, but the radio channel does not work! What could be the problem ? When Fem read, it showed 433Mhz. and I recorded the key with 434Mhz! Do they have a difference? Thank you.

[@jamesbarratt593]

OK so went a few miles to customer vehicle being a 2014 Iveco 3.5 ton flat bed truck, and whilst there tried my new ms908im which I bought hearing it programmed keys and did diagnostics on Iveco. My MS906 does not connect to Iveco. So Autel UK said defo it works on Iveco the new machine for £4000. Got there as said and it did not connect. Device unable to communicate message. So then I found after updates Iveco badge appeared so went back to the Vehicle and still could not communicate. I got in touch with UK support and they very professionally connected to the tablet but did the same as I was. Pressing the same vehicle 2014 and doing nothing else. WHAT CRAP SUPPORT. I was expecting they would type code in and get talking with the Iveco ECU. They are not support. Clearly they are only end user help desk. Theres a huge difference. They told me they would contact Germany and in some time in the future the update would happen. Now I hate being lied to. When I hear bullS*it I just cant sit back and let it pass across my ears. Told the guy too. How dare you say the update will happen. This vehicle is 2014 do you know what year we are in now. More likely the line of Iveco vans will become obsolete and no update was ever done. Still I am not prepared to spend £4000 on a machine and find it does not do all it is supposed to do and then let them keep my money. I want compensation. This is a trading standards issue. Sold something not fit for purpose. Anyway, Anyway, Anyway. So tell me something. Does the tool have a code lock for itself. So If someone steals it they cant get in to use it. Like iPhone.....? Then if you get a vin number and log out then couple days later want to know that vin. Is there a history section within the tool. Like Safari for web pages does. So you could from your chair at home bring up that vin number....? My data website I pay for on cars, does.

How do i know if fem been unlocked or not prior to taking it apart?

[@AutelConsultancy]

Hi Manny. From my knowledge once you jailbreak the FEM once , you don't need to do it again afterward. I think if you try doing the procedure via obd and it works , it means its jail broken. If you try via obd and it fails then you need to do it again.
