Here we have a Acura MDX 2005 to handle by the Autel IM508 Key Programmer.

This is the 3rd generation immobilizer, which is used on many Hondas like Accord or Acuras like TLX.

The car won’t start because of the new ECU in.

We will reprogram it, so the key will work again.

Go to

IMMO>>Acura>>Automatic selection

Turn on the ignition so it will pull out the VIN.

Then go to

The 3rd mechanical key system>>Replace ECM/PCM


After about 5 minutes, we’ve registered the PCM.

Meanwhile, the immobilizer light disappears.

Turn off the ignition as required.

Follow instructions to check keys.




The car starts without any issues.

Done! Nice and simple!

That’s the guide of programming a new PCM module using Autel IM508/Autel IM608.
