Can I Use Autoauth on European FCA Models?

 Question 1: How can I use FCA SGW on my Autel scanner? I’m in Europe. I see autoauth but is only for US.

Question 2: There is no way to use fca login for Autel on Europe?
Question 3: AutoAuth in Europe does not work on Autel and the question is do you have any other way?

Here is the clue.
Some users said FCA Autoauth does work on European vehicles.

You need to select USA when you specify the region even if you are in a different country. You’ll gain access through the Gateway and all FCA/Stellantis vehicles in your tablet will be available. Autel doesn’t have region specific tablets, they are all global versions with some exceptions for region specific software.

For example:
Here is an Autoauth account, registered and working on the Autel IM508s. An expert literally used it yesterday to diagnose and replace an ambient temp sensor on a 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 and reset the oil life monitor after service.

This requires a subscription and registration, or you use a Bypass Cable (12+8 cable to Star Connector). Star cable bypasses the sgw connecting scanner to diagnostic CAN lines on the star connector.

You don’t need to contact autel. You can go here, https://webapp.autoauth.com/ register account, pay your sub, go to shop profile, fill out detail. Next go to manage tools, click add, select autel, then all models, then add your autel tool serial number. It’ll save details to your account. Next time you connect to a car behind the stellantis gateway, it’ll ask you to log in with the autoauth account you created. Click remember user and login and it will remember your account for any future vehicles.

$50 sub gets you 5 users and 5 tools able to be registered. Vehicle access is unlimited.

edit: keep in mind you NEED internet access to log in and gain access through the gateway. The easiest for us if we are out on the road is just setup a wireless hotspot on our mobile for autel to connect through. Data usage is pretty minor.

What if Autoauth doesn’t work on your European model and you don’t want to spend time searching for SGW location, you can purchase European FCA SGW unlock service to use

FCA authentication by obd.

1 year subscription ONLY. You must pay every year this additional subscription.  Serial Number on device required and allow 14-21 working days for activation.

Lonsdor Autel Xtool Zed-Full Locksmith Review

 There comes an unbiased review of some popular key programming tools by a real UK locksmith who has 10-year working experience.

 

 

Lonsdor K518– 

When this device came out a few years ago it was popular in Asia and USA. However, in recent times there has been more clarity and frequent updates. It’s a good all rounder and excellent value for money. Particularly strong in Toyota, Volvo, Fiat and Chrysler and will handle Ford, PSA, VAG and Renault up until 2015 and has many other brands it will cover. Using the emulators, you can do many Toyota all keys lost via OBD.

OBDstar X300 DP Plus – 

Probably the best bang for buck programmer on the market today. A great all-round tool which is known to be strong on Renault, Ford, PSA and Mazda. For a tool of this price to be able to do 2020 Ford Focus and Transit, 2017 Renault lost keys and read a pin from practically any PSA you plug in is unbelievable. Updates are frequent and very much focused on the EU market.

Xtool X100 PAD2 & PAD Elite (PAD3) –

The model range is very confusing as there are many different versions of the same device. The updates are coming thick and fast, 2 years’ worth included from purchase. Really strong on Asian brands, in particular Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota. The recent Ford and Renault updates have been impressive and I expect many more updates over the next few months. The Pad Elite (PAD3) is compatible with the KC501 and can program Mercedes keys very fast, so for the money it’s a good tool. Not quite as refined as some other devices but once you find your way around it’s a solid machine.

Autel IM608 Pro (IM608) –

I have mixed feelings on this device, in some respects I think it’s excellent as it has such a broad coverage and the user interface is great. It has without doubt some of the most powerful diagnostic capabilities available from an all round “scanner” (whether you would use even 20% as a locksmith is debatable). However, if you don’t need high end diagnostic functions, I think it’s a lot of money for a key programmer. As with most devices, there is a heavy reliance on server calculations and this is where Autel suffers. There are so many occasions where the servers are so overloaded that programming cannot be carried out, or takes extremely long.

BossComm KMAX-850 –

This is a new device in the UK that many haven’t seen. Some of you may remember a diagnostic tool many years ago by BossComm, it was a good device in its day and this is from the same developer. For the surprisingly low cost of this tool it is very reliable and has great coverage. I used it on a Ford Focus 2019 spare key as a test and was surprised how well it worked. It is based on the Linux platform and has less reliance on the internet so it’s a good tool as a backup and comes with a pre-coding device. It’ll do VAG, Ford, Fiat, Honda and many more brands quite easily.

Zed-FULL – 

Every practising auto locksmith in the country should have heard of the Zed-FULL. For some people it is still the first tool they would plug in, for others it is a last resort. Without doubt it is a powerful device with a huge coverage, very easy to use and a plethora of functions. It is a token-based device and can work out very expensive, in today’s market I think token machines are only worth having if they do something other machines do not. A few years ago, that may have been the case with the Zed-FULL, but certainly not now. The other downside is that on some vehicles you must use an IEA key/remote so your hands are tied.

Smart Pro –

As most users found out the hard way, this device was released prematurely and left a lot of upset customers who had traded in a working device for a device still under development. I think that has changed now, it is much more reliable and has one of the best user interfaces of any of the devices mentioned. It is very good on Ford and can do AKL on Renault Trafic 2015- without bricking the BCM. It has a broad coverage and is easy to use, however it is token based so an expensive tool to use constantly. A good tool for a beginner, but still quite expensive for what it is actually capable of.

How to Use VNCI MF J2534 with Ford FDRS?

 $83 VNCI MF J2534 adapter was tested working with Ford FDRS for online programming.  It is much cheaper than another j2534 passthru (MDI2, VCM2 etc)

The setup procedure should be similar to other J2534 adapters.

For example, set up vxdiag with Ford FDRS

How to Set up VXDIAG VCX NANO for Ford IDS, ForScan, FJDS and FDRS?

But need a different driver for VNCI MF J2534

VNCI MF J2534 IDS Loader 1.6

Download and Install VNCI driver

Download and install FDRS software from here. You will need a license to run this software and can be purchased here (2-day FDRS license cost $50)
Launch FDRS, you will be prompted to enter the license that you have just purchased. Login using your credentials created on Motorcraft website. Make sure you select Non-Dealer Motorcraft as User Type

Connect your VNCI MF J2534 Scanner to your truck’s ODBII port and connect the USB cable to the PC running FDRS. Once FDRS Device Manager pops up, make sure you select Other Device, in the drop-down dialog select RKW-VNCI.

How to Repair Renault Clio VI HFM without Dealer?

 Background information:

A user try to add a smart key card on a 2017 Renault Clio IV with Renault ECU Tool (R.E.T) but after press enable pin R.E.T failed on STEP 5 and now HFM module is virgin without card but can’t get ISK or PIN it is erased.

Try AVDI but it cannot read PIN, also read ecu EDC17 c84 but wound ISK that is 12 digit.

When trying to enable pin RET made HFM virgin but couldn’t read code.

 

Solution 1:

For this case, dealer is the best and smart choice.

Go to Renault main dealer and do online HFM coding !

It’s a common problem. Under 120€ car is repaired!

Only Renault.net + token can provide it!

Solution 2:

Here is the user solution.

With AVDI and R.E.T and blank keys, you can solve the problem by following method:

*First Of All, You Need To Read The HFM via Xhorse VVDI PROG, then Find A Full Dump For Your HFM ( NOT VIRGIN ), Then Write It.

Then, With AVDI Online, Or Normal AVDI Commander, You Will Proceed As All Key Lost, Like This AVDI Will Get ISK And Pin Code And Program Key Card,

We Return Now To R.E.T, You Go HFM And You Change Vin, The Go To ESCL Section, And Clear Immo Code, Then Return To Learn ESCL To The HFM,

Now The Car Will Get Ignition, But Of Course No Start, Then Now, You Read ECU Dump, You Virgin Eeprom With R.E.T, You Write Back Virgin Eeprom To Ecu,

Finally, Plug Back Ecu To Car, Again With R.E.T, Learn Virgin ECM To Car, Clear All DTC, And Start Your Car.

By This Method You Will Like Make A New Kit For The Car. ( 50% Obd Job, 25% Soldering And Programmer Job, 25% Little Patience )

It’s Not Necessary To Have AVDI To Do All Key Lost In Clio 4, R.E.T, Is Enough, But With AVDI, it’s more easier, Specially in online commander, ( OBD Job, And Follow Steps ), But For People Who Have R.E.T Only, Yes It’s Possible AKL, It’s Will Require A Tronsponder Programmer ( Tango, AVDI… ), And Also HFM Data, Readed By Programmer ( VVDI PROG… )

Also For VVDI PROG Writing, It’s Totally Safe, People Made A Lot Of HFM Clone With It, ( Read Write Perfectly).

In This Case Reading The Crashed HFM, Will Contain Virgin HFM Data.

 

Solution 2 is for people who can’t access to dealer, Or they don’t have Renault dealer in their country/City, Or simply who want to fix it by themselves.

 

 

*Vvdi prog can read Renault HFM module!

You can also use UPA, Orange5 original or clone.

All with different pinouts.

Mind your settings, baudrate etc.

Orange5 swaps rx tx.

Upa for instance, uncheck stop on error.

 

For vvdi program, don’t select Others->Renault->HFM
But go direct to the mcu and select the right type and read.

 

the vvdi prog have the right pinout. (Check if the hfm the same is because you have different versions)
Just For R/W Select The MCU Manually.

vvdi prog nead FLMD1.

HFM (renesas v850 D07F3633) pinout to vvdi prog.

for reading:

Go to MCU->Renesas V850
not by Other -HFM-

Autel MK808 OTOFIX D1 Series Manufacturer Logos

Here are the Manufacturer logos on an Autel MK808TS. 

Just copy these to the scan folder, there are still some logo's not done in the hidden all.img folder, but they all appear fine, every time there is an update, just re-copy over to get logos back. images are 193 * 140 and are PNG if you want to change any of them. 

Download Here from Mega.nz

https://mega.nz/folder/V5QH0SYD#cIrNiifY5VoRy2bHpsDWow

It works on OTOFIX D1 Lite as well. 

Copy the Scan folder to /sdcard/ and select apply to all and overwrite using ES file explorer.

Repeat after updating.

Some of them appear cropped as the D1 logo pngs are 310x310 pixels and the ones in the download are 193x140. CBF to convert them.

Free to test it on other MK808 series and D1 series.

Everytime it installs an update it will delete them. Autel was threatened with copyright lawsuits that’s why they don’t have them anymore.

It only takes a few seconds to copy paste the scan folder again after an update. The logos are still there in another location on the device in the autel tools but not in the otofix D1 lite.

What Tool to Program Porsche Cayman 2008 PAS Key?

 Problem:

2008 Porsche Cayman all keys lost. PAS immo module (Bosch m5x5 box above pedals).
Not a KESSY car.
Found a ST 24C08 chip in the PAS module, desoldered and read it using xhorse vvdi prog. Got a clean read (vin is there in plain text) but can’t find any immo tools with vvdi2 to process it.
VVDI2 has a routine to program keys through the port using dealer sourced data, but i’d like to know if there’s a straight eeprom option for these.

Solution:

Abrites has a way. Also need to remove and read steering lock.
AVDI does have a way using the data from the PAS module and ESL.
abrites needs to make a dealer key so I don’t think the vvdi2 obd process will work with dealer codes and the basic hu66 key.
Codes is the way to go easy job.
avdi, autel and obdstar can do it with the codes.
Get the codes from the dump and the hitag info from an existing working key.

How to Fix BMW CAS4 If Car Not Start After OBD Programming?

 Here comes similar problems:

Problem 1:
vvdi2 killed my CAS4. How to fix corrupt flash?
The car is F10 from 2011. The CAS in number 4.
I was trying to make a spare key today using new option in Xhorse VVDI2.
To do that the tool has to unlock the CAS unit but with my version first it asked for upgrade. So I started the upgrade and the time error showed on the 2nd level of flashing.
I tried several more times but no luck. How to fix corrupt flash?

Problem 2:
I was trying to make a key today using vvdi2, when updating the CAS its good, but when add key the car not start , I tried several more times but no luck.  How to repair the unit?

 

Solution:
Your P-flash is corrupted
Try to program P-flash.  upload another flash from the processor with the same number and then upload D-flash. and everything will be as before.

A lot of procedure can do but you must have other tools like cgdi bmw, hexprog auto hex, ista+ etc.

Or send eeprom and flash to experts who can dump a good flash.

 

For example:

Started from CAS4 -create all data from scratch. Flash updates to couple of units (with ista+).
Car is alive again.
All works.

 

Problem 3:

I added a key to a 2012 bmw 750li using vvdi2. I did removed cas4 module from car then worked cas on bench using Godiag cas4 programming test platform according to vvdi2 I needed to unlocked cas which I did but before I unlocked cas I did back up coding then unlocked cas with no problem then I generated dealer key using VVDI2. Original and spare key both work normal lock,unlock and starts the car. The problem is that transmission won’t shift out of park and I get this codes.

Solution:

Use any diagnostic tool to ” activate gear”, Autel and Launch X431 can do this, people have tried both.

This happens when unlocking does not go right.
Dont use this.
Just read cas on bench no need to downgrade.

 

 

 

Another CAS4 failure after odometer correction.

Problem with bmw cas4+ module, after mileage reset with cgdi, keyless/remote does not work anymore. I can start car only with key put near steering column. Now cas shows its using frequency 16983 instead 868, when i try to add key it shows me message that current key frequency does not match. Ive tried restore coding, reflash/update with esys. no luck, i think my dflash is corrupt.

Problem solved, repaired frequency in dump and added key and all ok.
