Description
The XP400 Key & Chip Programmer from Autel is an advanced accessory designed to expand key programming, EEPROM/MCU reading, and ECU data functions when used with MaxiIM IM608 and MaxiIM IM508.
It allows technicians to perform bench-level operations without connecting to the vehicle, making it ideal for locksmiths, ECU specialists, and automotive electronics workshops.
Main Functions
- Support PC connection for data processing
- MCU / EEPROM chip Read & Write
- ECU Read & Write (bench work)
- MC9S12 encrypted chip programming
- Vehicle key Read / Write
- Infrared key Read / Write for Mercedes-Benz
- Remote frequency detection
- IC card reading & writing
- Transponder programming and renewal
How It Works
The XP400 connects directly to the IM608/IM508 tablet to access immobilizer and key-chip data.
No vehicle connection is required for many operations, enabling safe bench programming and repair.
