Autel IM508 vs OTOFIX IM1:
The Basic Immo Features of the im508 and IM1 are the same. Any advanced Immo functions like eeprom, mercedes keys etc are only on the IM508 not the IM1. The same goes for Diagnostics, the IM508 has decent diag features, the IM1 doesn’t unless you pay an extra subscription. The old im508 has slower hardware, the new im508S has the same hardware as the im1.
