 Autel MaxiIM IM608 II with XP400 Pro can add CAS2 mechanical and semi smart key on bench.

Use APA109 cable to connect XP400 Pro and CAS2 module, add key with IM608II, and then detect the CAS and key synchronization by Godiag CAS2 Test Platform.

For different CAS2 key types, select the corresponding Godiag BMW CAS2 Test Platform.

What is the difference between CAS2 mechanical and semi smart?

For example:

Semi smart: CAS2 (E8x/E9x)- on the left side

Mechanical: CAS2 (E6x)- on the right side

The chip type is similar. The difference is that semi smart type has the long chip marked while the mechanical one doesn't have.
