    I don't think so at all. Seems a better tool all around imo. Since it handles a lot of diag as well I hardley ever even need to pull out the 908 any more.

    Come up with program to input proxy keys into Nissan without crashing BCM. The person who comes up with that will end up a gazillionaire.

    hope not - can we have input on this?
    i already have Smart Pro and would never consider it a VAG, Merc, or BMW tool like IM608 comments here.

    SmartPro is 'ok' but mainly good on Fords. Nothing to shout about esp since Italian Silca took over. Expected better and would go as far to say £5000 could of been better spent.



    Sadly development been moving to China (while they share viruses!). I would love to support British company but at-end-of-day what makes me money important.

    Wages etc rights we can't compete. Wave red flag, getting my IM608 next week

    Cant find one thing about the IM608 leads you to believe its a smartpro clone..
    Specs, form, function, accessories, GUI, price, subscription, support.
    You can look at the physical hardware setup from just a cursory look at them both and see they aren't similar let alone cloned.

    the best until they are not , nothing lasts forever , advanced diagnostics were the best for many years , abrites ruled top spot for many years , something else always takes over top spot at some point , todays number one is eventually just another tool or a dust catcher as we replace it with new shiny toy .

    but im buying im608 as brings alot to the table and compliments my tool arsenal , id say its a piece of kit im looking forward to owning and putting through its paces , il certainly get payback and some from it .

    This is developed in China

    Friend has IM608 bought from a large very well known U.K. distributor. He called for a software support issue in January and was told support team was off work. He asked why as everything was running here.

    Reply was sure China is shut down with Covid-19

    Looking at 508 and 608 buying next week but not sure which one yet

    508 with xp400 and Gbox does all the key programming the 608 does

    Half the subs and a lot cheaper to buy

    IM508 can't do some benz & audi function no matter if you have gbox2 and xp400
    IM508 doesn't have as much MCU functionality
    IM508 won't have OE key renewing when it is released
    IM508 isn't part of the SGM authorization being finalized

    The J2534 is worth something if you are gong to expand market
    IM608 diag software is good and helps when something isn't working

    Price difference from where I bought for the IM508 with XP400 and Gbox2 and key simulator was $750~
    Price difference for 1 year update was $50
