Autel IM608 Jaguar Land Rover 2017 Add Key via OBD or Bench?

Q: How Autel IM508/IM608 add key to Land rover Evoque/Discovery and Jaguar 2016/2017 year with secured KVM? Can Autel do this by OBD or bench only?

 

A: Encrypted KVM cannot be done obd, however, you can use replacement keys, the editable keys via obd. Done quite a few that way.

Bench job in 15 minutes. Perform Start key writing buy removing KVM/RFA from the car.

 

2010-2015 (ish) Dpla system – obd
2016-2018 (ish) Fk72 system – bench
2017-2019 (ish) Hpla system – bench
2019+ Jpla system – new kvm module, two new keys and a scan tool with doip j2534 interface

Above are the safe way to do Jaguar and Land rover systems with Autel.

 

Now let’s get down to Autel part.

It is important to know whether the processor is “locked (secured)” or “unlocked (unsecured)”. To do this, the adapter is soldered according to the “unlocked” scheme and the status of the chip is read. If it is “unlocked” it can be read directly. If it is “locked”, the adapter must be soldered according to the scheme and two components must be removed from the circuit board.

 

Here is an example of adding a spare key to Jaguar F-pace 2017 (1M12s mc9s12xeq384) key with IM608.

Main steps:

  • Remove the RFA
  • Read D-flash and EEPROM
  • Perform Start key writing to generate new data
  • Write the new data back to RFA
  • Assemble the vehicle
  • Verify the key function

 

Procedure:

Remove the KVM/RFA Module Secured Module and open cover

The chip is locked. So desolder 2 components

Then solder adapter according to the scheme and two components must be removed from the circuit board.

with the macthing wire harness APA106 of the xp400/xp400 pro, connect the wire as wiring diagram, T1 and T2 indicate the two components to be removed. After all function completed, the two components needs to be re-installed during vehicle assembly.

It is working. Done.

 

If need to add key via OBD, Lonsdor and Yanhua ACDP do this really well.

If need to program 2017 JLR all keys lost, Londsor is one of the good ones.
