     I think it is possible to use the J2534 with the im508 if I add a bluetooth dongle or something.  My old boss seemed able to use the 2 together but he never showed me how.  Has anyone else managed to use the 2 together?

     The IM 508 is a cable based platform, and has no external speakers or speaker jack, there is no VCI app or Blue tooth option in System Settings . Your old Boss probably had an IM608 that comes with a J2534 VCI, but even that has no capability for ECU flash programming from off the Android tablet for some BMW and Mercedes Benz models (during active update period)like Maxi Sys Pro, Elite, Ultra, 919, and 909 offers. All other makes you need to use the J2534 from a Windows Laptop with a OE program with purchased OE .subscription

     I am an auto locksmith with a im508 and I'm quite inexperienced beyond cloning and the easy stuff.  
    I dont really understand the limitations I have put myself under by only buying the im508 rather than the im608.
    What is the best route to be able to get J2534 functionality other than ditching what ive already bought?  I will probably have to buy a different system at this point but I dont know what is out there.

    I dont really understand the limitations I have put myself under by only buying the im508 rather than the im608.

    Thanks for your help.
