About IM508 (vs. IM608)

In principle, IM508 is enough, because it is enough for daily use for programming car keys, engine modules. And with XP400 PRO it has the same IMMO function as IM608, and you can still buy a set of adapters.

In general you should take G-Box3.

About Key Tool Plus

I took a set of adapters without soldering, so we read CAS3, CAS4, Porsche and so on.

Also, I will recommend my favorite second programmer, the Key Tool Plus. If you have money, you should take an extra Xhorse Pad.


Done!
