Autel IM608 Pro advantages:
Full system diagnosis, special service functions, and odometer correction functions.
Diagnostic software is good.
the J2534 programmer is an added source of revenue
Expensive annual subscription
Free Update Online for one year.
Tip: Recommend to buy IM508 plus XP400 Pro, which update fee is less than IM608 Pro and works the same on key programming.
Xhorse Key Tool Plus advantages comparing IM608Pro
Better in transporter cloning, remote generation, EEPROM function and available to control key cutting machines made by Xhorse.
Can be combined with other Xhorse tools.
Xhorse is way better at programming Mercedes Benz than Autel (faster online password calculation)
Add a bunch of car brands like Ford, G-M, Chrysler, etc that does not support before. At present, the vehicle coverage and performance are approximately at a medium level, which is still far from im608 pro, but it is clearly catching up.
Key Tool Plus is good for V-A-G
Free update online.
