A customer got the universal button main menu with the latest update of Autel IM608. But it doesn’t work, tested on 3 different autel im508, im608 and 608pro, all the same with ikeyat004el universal remote, after that the remote also doesn’t work, even changing the battery, no flashing at all.
The Error an like this occurs: ”The hardware version type does not match the program used to upgrade the universal key. Use a correct universal key”.
