Product Description
Autel MaxiIM APB131 Adapter for VW/Audi and Nissan Key Programming
The APB131 is a specialized IMMO adapter for Autel's MaxiIM platform that adds key reading and programming capability on specific Volkswagen, Audi, and Nissan vehicles with MQB-V850 and RH850 dashboard configurations. If you are a locksmith or automotive security tech working on late-model VW group vehicles or specific Nissan models and hitting a wall with standard key programming methods, the APB131 is the adapter that gets you in. At $50, it is an inexpensive addition to an existing MaxiIM IM608 or IM508 setup — but it is purpose-built for a specific set of vehicles, so check coverage before buying.
Required Equipment
The APB131 requires all of the following to function:
- Autel MaxiIM tablet — IM608, IM608 Pro, IM608 Pro II, IM508, or IM508S series
- Autel XP400 or XP400 Pro key programmer
- APB131 adapter (this unit)
This is not a standalone device. It is an accessory that expands capability on an existing MaxiIM setup for the specific vehicles listed below.
