The Autel MaxiIM IM508S provides a streamlined, professional solution for handling "All Keys Lost" (AKL) situations on the 2025 Hyundai Kona. Since this model uses a locked ID4A transponder system, following the correct protocol is essential for a successful locksmith job.
Key Requirements before Programming
Device: Autel IM508S or IM608 II.
Transponder Type: ID4A Smart Key.
Security PIN: A 6-digit PIN code is mandatory. Note: For 2022+ models, the password cannot be read directly via OBD and must be sourced through a third-party VIN-to-PIN service.
Vehicle Prep: Turn on Hazard Lights to maintain ECU communication during the process.
Step-by-Step Programming Operation
Ensure your Autel IM508S has the latest Hyundai IMMO software installed for 2024/2025 coverage.
Step 1: Manual Vehicle Selection
Since automatic VIN detection may fail on a dead or damaged vehicle, manual pathing is recommended:
Path: Manual Selection > Europe > Kona(SX2) > 2024– > Smart Key.
Step 2: Enter Smart Key Learning
(1) Navigate to: Hot Functions > Smart Key Learning > Start.
(2) Ensure the Ignition is OFF and the driver's door has been cycled (opened and closed) to reset the system status.
Step 3: PIN Entry & Key Writing
(1) Enter your 6-digit PIN code when prompted by the Autel IM508S.
(2) Press the top of the smart key firmly against the Start/Stop button.
(3) The immobilizer light on the dashboard will flash once the key is successfully registered.
Step 4: Verification
Test all remote functions (Lock/Unlock) and verify the engine starts.
