Let’s start this article with one user’s question: What is the difference between Autel MaxiIM im608 and im608 pro, can the Pro do scn coding? The answer is: Autel im608 Pro has a better serial programmer and a few other extra accessories. The software on the tablets are the same. the pro can’t do the scn coding. It requires a different tool.
Firstly, let’ look at this comparison table of Autel MaxiIM im608 Pro, im608, im508.

To learn the new adaptors with XP400pro, coverage of eeprom, MCU and immo ecu, please download Autel XP400 Pro User Manual.
XP400Pro programmer upgrade and improvements when comparing with XP400:
Fixed the problem of connecting the XP400 to the vehicle ODB connector causing the burnout of the device.
Fixed the stabilityproblem of using APB102 IR key to read/write.
Upgrade the hardware of programmer, Chip read/write function is more stable and support moreEEPROM chips.
Fixed theproblem of EERPOM adaptor APB101 can’t read/write EEPROM chip and rename it as APA129.
Rename accessories APA104、APA105、APA106 as APA107、APA108、APA109.
APA108 and APA109 cable length is shorter than before, reducingthe signal interference.
