Autel IM508 Jeep Compass 2012 Key Programming Guide

 

Question: I have a car model 2012 Jeep Compass Sport VIN: 1C4NJCBAXCD6xxxxx, Pontiac G6 2008 (USA) Skim Key Code ( Immo Code) that is showing as an issue.  This vehicle is made in the USA.  Can you tell me if the IM608 Autel Tool will work on my vehicle?  In terms of the IMMO for lost keys, key replacement, programming of the module / remotes, read the pin for the remotes?  I think one of the keys is bad, or the module is bad.  Also, if I replace the IMMO Module can the Autel IM508 set the vin number to that new module in terms of programming the module and what are the functions of the IMMO- specifically?

I am just looking for a tool that has at least the scanner, and (25+) Service functions, MOSTLY (IMMO) inclusive.

What do you prefer as automotive key programmers 1 – OBDSTAR X300 DP PLUS 2 - Autel MaxiIM IM608 3 - Xtool Auto pro pad or other tablet? Here’s the true working experience & feedback from a Facebook locksmith group questionnaire. Keep updating. 1) OBDSTAR is very good. works very well really is very good for the price. I have both obdstar and xtool pad2. ObdStar is superior. It works very well on fiat renault bmw and other brands that are not easy to work with another tool. 2) I got the xtool pro pad it works well on cars like newer GMs and Hyundai and Chrysler most fords. Obdstar x300 strictly for Honda Toyota keys and Nissan. And lastly the old t300 for older Fords with the 4c keys. I’m thinking of getting the us version of lonstor. 3) AutoProPad, hands down.
