Autel Total Care (TCP) for IM608

Autel Total Care Program (TCP) for IM608 Series — Annual Software Update Subscription

The IM6081YRUPDATE is the one-year Total Care Program (TCP) renewal for the Autel MaxiIM IM608 series tablets (IM608, IM608 PRO, IM608 PRO II). At $895 per year, it provides 12 months of software updates, expanded vehicle coverage, new IMMO procedures, and feature enhancements. This is the annual maintenance cost for keeping an IM608-class tool current and productive.

Why the IM608 TCP Is Priced Higher Than IM508

The IM608 series covers more ground. European IMMO systems — BMW, Mercedes, VW/Audi — are continuously evolving, and Autel is constantly adding new year/model coverage for the advanced procedures that make the IM608 valuable. The higher annual cost reflects the broader coverage scope and the greater R&D investment required to maintain it. For a shop that regularly handles European key programming at $300–$800+ per job, the $895 annual TCP pays for itself in a few jobs.

What the TCP Subscription Covers

• 12 months of software updates delivered via Wi-Fi to the tablet
• New vehicle coverage for makes, models, and model years added during the subscription period
• New IMMO procedures — updated smart mode workflows, AKL coverage for newly added vehicles
• Diagnostic updates — new service functions and code definitions
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

Compatible Devices

This renewal applies to the IM608 tablet family:

• Autel MaxiIM IM608
• Autel MaxiIM IM608 PRO (IM608P)
• Autel MaxiIM IM608 PRO II (current generation)

If you have an IM508 or IM508S, the correct TCP SKU is the IM5081YRUPDATE at $349/year. Call 866-217-0063 if you are unsure which renewal applies to your device.

When to Renew

The IM608 series ships with one year of updates from the purchase date. After that first year, renewal is required to continue receiving software updates. You can renew at any point — even after the subscription lapses — and Autel will extend your coverage window by 12 months from the renewal date. For shops that rely on the IM608 for European IMMO work, letting the subscription lapse for extended periods creates meaningful coverage gaps.
