How to Solve Autel IM608 “Key Generation Failed”

One customer used Autel MaxiIM IM608 to add new key on Benz and VW cars, but it failed to do. Check the specific feedback he gave and the suggestion offered from obdiitool.co.uk engineer.

 

Customer problem:

When I do key add and im608 programmer is involved. It’s always a failure and can’t do Mercedes or Volkswagen. Is there faulty on XP400 programmer or IM608 tablet? When I make the dealer key with the CS code in the programmer menu, it shows “Key generation failed” as below and the programmer doesn’t work.

Autel Im608 Key Generation Failed Solution

 

Obdiitool.co.uk engineer replied:

First of all, confirm if your key is a blank key.

Next, confirm if it happens to all keys or only this key chip type.

  • If it happens to all keys generation, then the upgrade chip of the programmer is broken, has to return to repair.
  • If other keys can do the key generation and this one cannot, please change another blank key to retry. Use XP400 key programmer to write the original key data from Autel IM608 tablet into the blank key.

 

Hope it helps!
