Description
The Autel BMW Ethernet Cable for Autel MaxiIM IM608 PRO & IM508 is a genuine diagnostic/programming adapter cable specifically designed to extend the capabilities of Autel key‑programming and diagnostic tools when working on BMW F‑Series vehicles (models with DoIP/Ethernet‑based communication systems). This cable enables direct Ethernet‑based communication between an Autel IM608/IM608 PRO/IM508 tablet and a BMW vehicle’s ECU network — a requirement for advanced procedures like key programming, ECU updates, module diagnostics, coding, and live data access on many F‑Series chassis cars.
While many Autel tools natively communicate via OBD‑II, BMW F‑Series units use an ENET (Ethernet) interface for certain systems. This cable bridges that gap by providing a reliable Ethernet connection from the diagnostic tool (via USB‑Ethernet adapter where needed) to the vehicle’s Ethernet‑enabled module network. It’s built with durable materials for workshop use and allows technicians to perform high‑level service tasks without having to rely solely on standard OBD diagnostics.
Note: Some vehicle models and advanced programming functions may also require an active subscription and online access depending on manufacturer restrictions.
