So the IM508 will not do the vin rewrite?

Hi Duane, I reached out to the technician who built the case study. The VIN rewrite was not an option on the 2011 and 2012 Outback, hence why he used the MS909. Interestingly it is an option from 2013 to 2019, so it appears those two years on that model of Subaru, the function is not supported.
