Hi guys very good video , I have a Autel 908 but dont have the pass through tool j..... can I purchas add this to my 908... I presume i will need my subscription updated to Autel. Thanks Autel is awsome
I believe you can... You need the j3524 and the subscription updates... but confirm it with Autel themselves... Just to make sure... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
hello friend, my car currently running with a ecm frm a used donor bmw, got everithing program...my question is, using the 908 do u know if its possible to erase the vin frm a donor ecm and so only the vin frm my veicle poping up wen doing emissions test...they dont want to give me the little plate sticker unless I fix thar issue....usually wen I connect the autel it will ask me to choose my vin n the donor ecm vin
When you flash/update the module, using the Maxisys, if you "tell" her the modules have been replaced, it will update the vin during programming... I have a video on my old e65, changing the Airbag gateway, and i show just that... Hope it makes sense... Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs Great video!!! can you reprogram/coding the cruise control, mine its not working for some reason and I would like to have it back, Thank you!!
Hi If was working and it stopped, is probably nothing to do with coding or programming... Most likely there is a fault somewhere inhibiting the cruise control.. Scan the car and look at some live data to find out what's happening... Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

The shift solenoids. I asked transmission shop for an estimate to replace the solenoids and they told me they couldn't do it cause they had to be key coded and they didn't have that capability. They might be wrong.
Never used that tool... Not sure if the solenoids need to be coded... Or are you talking about the whole mechatronics? Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Thank you for everything. I appreciate your videos. When using Maxisys for programming, do you need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order for tool to be able to program, or is the updated software file built into the scan tool?
Hey buddy GREAT VID. Just a question. Can I use Maxisys or Autel to code replacement EKPM3 module that came from a different car but comparable? My car is an E82 2.0D 2008 & the part came from a 2008 E87 2.0D. Please let me know. Thank you buddy.
No worries. Keep up the good work. I was more wondering if I can use Autel to tell the EKPM3 that it’s now in a similar model but different car so it has correct flow values etc. If so can you point me in the right direction menu-wise that would be greatly appreciated? Thank you again.
The Autel is quite intuitive on that sort of stuff... Watch this video... ruclips.net/video/pAKztvmr07g/видео.html The principle is the same... Once you flash the module with the software for the car, to change VIN number etc... and you code it... the module becomes part of the car... As if was fitted from factory...😊
Hi In this case was purely to demonstrate the procedure. Look on my channel, I have videos where I change modules, with used ones, and the programming was necessary... Thank you for watching!
Here in the UK you can't... Will just fail to download the software... Check out with Autel if you leave elsewhere... As someone was saying that in the USA you can still programming...🤷♂️ Thank you for watching and for your comment.

He probly meant no harm but !!When he gets to 3:30 he mentions to jump start the car to raise the voltage when no maintainer available ( a BATTERY MANTEINER IS NEEDED, a 15 to 25amp unit 20USD TO 50USD is more than enough to raise voltage, I used a 15amp unit for complete update). If u jump the car for programing, either u r going to burn the junction module or ur ecu/pcm/dme (if ur car battery is healthly plus jumping from another car with a healthy battery plus the altenator current frm the other car !!it will create an overcharge and burn modules). I FOLLOWED HIS ADVISE PROGRAMMING WHILE JUMPING AND MY JUNCTION MODULE BURNT WHILE PROGRAMMING MY BMW v6 328I. SINCE MY MAIN ECU/PCM/DME LOSS POWER WHILE PROGRAMMING IT DIED. !!I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER JUCTION MODULE FRM EBAY(2 JUNCTIONS THE FIRST THEY SENT WAS FAULTY) HAD TO BUY AOTHER ECU/DME/PCM EBAY AND IGNITION KEY WITH CONTROL AND A FOOTHWELL MODULE LINKED TO THE ECU FROM SAME EBAY SELLER (THE FOOTHWELL MODULE CONTAINS INMOBILISER DATA) AND 30USD BATTERY MANTINER TO PROPERLY PROGAM MY BMW AND GET IT RUNNING. He should have at least mention that when jumping from another car that the other car has to be engine off, and even so not sure if it wud work that way...….bmws and any vehicle 2005 and up should not b jumpstart frm another engine on car (risk of burn module), proper way to jump is with a cheap 30usd to 90usd lithium jumper or equivalent, or jump frm another car engine off at risk (on older vihicles it was ok to jump start from another engine on car cos the batteries were usually completely drain( probli owner left lights on) newer cars dont ever completely drain cos auto lights off or auto shutting electrical when volts low)..the only time ill risk jumping from another car with their engine on is if I was driving a v8 or larger v6 and they were driving a small v4..if it was the other way aroung me drivng v4 they driving v6 v8 I would only jump if their engine was off
Hi I feel really sorry for what happened to you... Watching my own video now, I realized I said jump the car... when what I meant was connect the maintainer... I use a 30 amp charger/maintainer... You can indeed program (not BMW really... due to the higher voltage required...), jumping from another battery/car, but both engines off... I did it few times before I bought my maintainer.... Once again... sorry...😔

Hi Luis. Can the MaxiSys MS908P program a replaced ECU on a BMW? In my case an E series 520d (E60). My friend has replaced his DME and he was trying for days to program it using the IM608 but he cannot do it. I know the IM608 is more for key programming but it can do a lot more than that. Another great video by the way. You keep posting and I'll keep watching. Thanks a lot.
No... None of the Autels (MS908P or IM608) can do it through OBD... The IM608 if I recall correctly, can do some ecus... to program the engine ecu, you need to take the ISN from the CAS and write it on the ECU... or vice versa... 👍👍👍
thanks for a quick reply. apprently in the UK you have to put it in as VW lt3 then you can access the program im trying to adjust the odometer mileage, but cannot change it.
The correct answer is depends. Some stuff is provided by Autel. Others, you need to register the J2534 VCI with BMW TIS, and pay the subscription to program some modules.
Can you please help me with a question, what about the subscription? How does the Maxisys know meaning if i go onto Benz and pay for say a 2 day sub, how does it know my MaxiSys belongs to that sub?
@@LMAutoRepairs who do you pay 1 year too Autel of Benz? My autel I purchased June 6, 2018 and my free updates end June 6, 2020. . I read that my 2 year updated include the BMW and Benz subscription to program these cars. Meaning i don't need a separate sub for the BMW or Benz website to access the programming service is that correct?
Maxisys can program it no problem... VIN number etc... However, it fails to reset the immobiliser on it... for that you have the IM608 for example... 👍👍👍
Coding is more like change options... programming, is like updating the actually software/firmware inside the modules... Hope it makes sense... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Can I just use a personal hotspot that can connect to the connector and tablet via Ethernet ?
Yes... you need the ethernet adapter for the F series and above... It is not expensive... I believe on the new 908 that adaptor come with it... not on the old ones... I got my one from Autel directly... It is something worth to have... I never tried any workaround, so not sure if it is possible to do it in any other way... I would say no...

When you flash/update the module, using the Maxisys, if you "tell" her the modules have been replaced, it will update the vin during programming...

He probly meant no harm but !!When he gets to 3:30 he mentions to jump start the car to raise the voltage when no maintainer available ( a BATTERY MANTEINER IS NEEDED, a 15 to 25amp unit 20USD TO 50USD is more than enough to raise voltage, I used a 15amp unit for complete update). If u jump the car for programing, either u r going to burn the junction module or ur ecu/pcm/dme (if ur car battery is healthly plus jumping from another car with a healthy battery plus the altenator current frm the other car !!it will create an overcharge and burn modules).

SINCE MY MAIN ECU/PCM/DME LOSS POWER WHILE PROGRAMMING IT DIED. !!I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER JUCTION MODULE FRM EBAY(2 JUNCTIONS THE FIRST THEY SENT WAS FAULTY) HAD TO BUY AOTHER ECU/DME/PCM EBAY AND IGNITION KEY WITH CONTROL AND A FOOTHWELL MODULE LINKED TO THE ECU FROM SAME EBAY SELLER (THE FOOTHWELL MODULE CONTAINS INMOBILISER DATA) AND 30USD BATTERY MANTINER TO PROPERLY PROGAM MY BMW AND GET IT RUNNING. He should have at least mention that when jumping from another car that the other car has to be engine off, and even so not sure if it wud work that way...….bmws and any vehicle 2005 and up should not b jumpstart frm another engine on car (risk of burn module), proper way to jump is with a cheap 30usd to 90usd lithium jumper or equivalent, or jump frm another car engine off at risk (on older vihicles it was ok to jump start from another engine on car cos the batteries were usually completely drain( probli owner left lights on) newer cars dont ever completely drain cos auto lights off or auto shutting electrical when volts low)..the only time ill risk jumping from another car with their engine on is if I was driving a v8 or larger v6 and they were driving a small v4..if it was the other way aroung me drivng v4 they driving v6 v8 I would only jump if their engine was off

The one under the bonnet, the high pressure, don't think it requires any programming... so if BMW is telling you that, means the other pump... 4k for that, seems a bit exaggerated to me...
Hope that helps...
What’s the difference between this and BMW ISTA? I thought only ISTA could do programming? So confused
Hi
ISTA can do programming, yes, and is the OEM system...
What are you confused about?
Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs I guess what I mean is, if you have this, do you need ISTA? Like do they do the same thing? It seems this is better obviously as it does all makes and is portable. Downloading ISTA seems like a job in itself.
@@Chris-rs3dj
Not really... with this tool, you don't really need ISTA... the only thing with ISTA, is the wiring diagrams, testing components etc... that obviously this tool does not have...
👍👍👍
Hi, Is it better to use a tool like MaxiSys instead of INSTA D/P for programming a BMW?
They both achieve the same result...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs You also mention wanting to get a battery maintainer. Have you thought of which one you might like?
@@abeetha
I use one that is not really a maintainer...
Is more of a charger, but does the job quite well...
A proper maintainer is quite expensive...😬
@@LMAutoRepairs Any recommendations? I've seen BMW branded ones which many say are CTEK ones with a BMW badge. CTEK themselves have loads of models. I have a few LIDL trickle chargers that I use to keep on some old cars so the batteries don't use charge from under use. But I have no idea what sort of one I would need for my E92 330D if I was to attempt any programming on it.
@@abeetha
As i said, ideally you would use something like this...

I am using this one...

I don't do programming on a daily basis, not even close... so I am happy using it...
What do you mean "Jump the car"? Do you mean "Start the car"?
Hi, great video. Is there any other scanner can do programming like that on BMW and Mercedes but less pricier?
You can do it with a D-can cable and BMW tools software... this however, is way more tricky to do...
Artipad l can also do it, but is the same price as the Autel... might be other tools out there, just do dome research...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I tried programming my new headlights to my 2017 bmw 330i, it required Ethernet connection, I kept running into connection issues. In the autel diagram I have to use the special adapter that has both Ethernet cable connection and OBD port, and then it says to poking Ethernet cable into the autel MS908P. Can I just use a personal hotspot that can connect to the connector and tablet via Ethernet ?
Yes... you need the ethernet adapter for the F series and above...
It is not expensive...
I believe on the new 908 that adaptor come with it... not on the old ones... I got my one from Autel directly...
It is something worth to have...
I never tried any workaround, so not sure if it is possible to do it in any other way... I would say no... As the autel needs to connect to the car through the ethernet to the car...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs I have the Ethernet adapter and everything I’m just not sure on how to connect it, if I can’t have WiFi on how is the autel supposed to download the file needed for the programming? Do you know how to set up the Ethernet on the device ? I tried and still can’t figure it out
@@LMAutoRepairs and I can’t use hotspot because it doesn’t allow me to have WiFi on
😊
The Autel will automatically switch between the ethernet which will be connected to the car, and the Wireless when it needs to download files...
Don't need to worry about that...😉
@@LMAutoRepairs so To clarify, I can use the personal hotspot on my iphone to connect to the autel to the internet, and then once the Ethernet is connected to both the OBD and the autel, it will switch between automatically? Because I tried that and then i was getting a “no vehicle communication” pop up on the autel
Hello, can you CODE Auxiliary to a 2004 bmw 530i on Maxitool so it can show on the display screen ? It only shows FM/AM/CD I installed auxiliary but it won't show on screen and I read it needs coding but most videos I've seen are done on INPA but I have Autel Elite scanner. Thanks
Autel should be able to do it...
Either by editing the VO, or under retrofits...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs do you know anyone that had done it on Autel ? Or do you know of any link on RUclips for it ? All what I found was INPA
Not INPA... you can't code with INPA...
Is with NCS Expert...
Again, autel will do it by modifying the VO...
Just add +NAUX to the vo, save it and the code the ccc and all the relevant modules...
Quite straight forward...
@@LMAutoRepairs does VO means vehicle operations ? Not sure what you mean exactly by VO and CCC Sorry I'm not finding the right way to do it 😭
Do you mind sharing the steps ? Truly appreciate your time
VO=Veichle Order
CCC=Car Communication Computer
There is step by step guides out there... I am sure...
I don't remember now from the top of my head, and if you need a step by step guide, I don't want to give you inaccurate information...
