Autel Total Care Program (TCP) for IM508 — Annual Software Update Subscription

The IM5081YRUPDATE is the one-year Total Care Program (TCP) renewal for the Autel MaxiIM IM508S. At $349 per year, it keeps your IM508S software current with the latest vehicle coverage, IMMO procedures, and service function updates that Autel releases throughout the year. Without an active TCP subscription, the IM508S will not receive software updates and vehicle coverage will fall behind as new models enter the market.

What the TCP Subscription Covers

The Total Care Program provides 12 months of:

  • Software Updates: All IMMO and key programming software updates for covered vehicles
  • Vehicle Coverage Expansions: New makes, models, and model years as Autel adds them
  • Feature Updates: New diagnostic functions, service procedures, and Smart Mode guided workflows as they are released
  • Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

Why Updates Matter for IMMO Work

Key programming and IMMO coverage is not static. Vehicle manufacturers change IMMO systems, add new security layers, and release new model variants continuously. A shop that bought an IM508 in 2021 and never renewed updates will find gaps when they try to program a 2024 or 2025 model — the procedures for newer platforms may not exist in an unupdated unit. For a key programmer, being current on software is not optional if you want to handle the full range of cars coming through the door.

The $349 annual TCP cost is the cost of keeping your $999+ IM508S investment productive. Compare this to the alternative: paying dealer prices for key programming jobs you cannot complete in-house.

How to Renew

The IM5081YRUPDATE is purchased and applied via Autel's MaxiIM update system. Once purchased, the subscription extends your active update period by 12 months from the current expiration date. Updates download over Wi-Fi directly to the tablet.

Compatible Device

This TCP renewal is specifically for the Autel MaxiIM IM508S. If you have the original IM508 (not the S variant), confirm which TCP SKU applies to your device before purchasing. For the IM608 series, the applicable renewal SKU is the IM6081YRUPDATE.
