Today I’m working on a 2018 Hyundai Sonata with all keys lost. It’s a push-to-start vehicle. Following I’m gonna try if the Autel MaxiIM IM608 PRO II + Xhorse XM38 Universal Key can be successfully programmed for this car.
As we know, the Autel only supports to program IKEY Universal Key in normal. Anyway, let’s start the test.
IMMO >> Accept >> Hyundai >> Manual selection >> America >> SONATA(LFA) >> 2016-2019 >> Smart key >> OK >> Control unit >> Read immobilizer password >> Read Pin code(8A smart card)
This function only supports models with 8A chip-type smart cards.
Please ensure the key type is correct!
Turn the Hazard warning light on.
Turn the ignition off(note: the instrument screen is black).
Open and then close the driver’s door once!
Reading password…
