VGS/VGS2/VGS3 NAG2 wiring diagram

this is the connections that we have to make between the transmission control unit and the obd cable that’s coming off the jbox on the im608 or the regular obd cable
As you see we have one power and one ground since we don’t have power and ground coming from anywhere
so i just decided to use this power pack or booster pack
i use the power and ground with it another leak coming to here

We’ve done the wiring
press Exit
we’re gonna go to read TCU data, Read the data save it. Then we’re going to go to renew TCU. It’s going to get a erase password off the internet.
Only password is the erasure password which is easily calculated by im608. No other password is required.
Then it will renew the whole transmission control unit, make it brand new since this one right now is a used one.
Read TCU data.

Mine has been renewed. So just follow IM608 prompt to renew.

What we need to do next is remove the other transmission control unit from car,  read the original information and write that original information into this donor one and put it back in the car.

OBDSTAR X300 DP PLUS vs. Autel IM608 vs. Xtool Auto Pro Pad

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. Its software is designed specifically for the US market. 4) I’m loving my IM608, the tool not only program the keys, but is an excellent scanner and can program a other units like ELV, dashboard, EZS...
