Xhorse VVDI PROG + VVDI2 can program Ducati Panigale 1199 transponder by reading ZADI immobilizer. My only problem here was that the pinout I found didn’t have the same wire colors as the VVDI Prog connector. But luckily I had professional help.

 Will but a Xhorse VVDI2 or a vvdi key tool plus what do you prefer?

Does anyone have both and can point out the pros and cons?

Here’s the clue.

VVDI2 has the advantage of being PC based and a little easier to navigate and type things into, and it’s easier to save files for later use than on the key tool plus, you can do it but they’re a bit of a pain to transfer off to use elsewhere or to give to someone else working on a car you’ve done before. Keytool plus supported more brands as VVDI2. VVDI2 can only do VAG/BMW/Porsche. Key tool plus will also do MB, Toyota 8A AKL, Ford 2016 onwards AKL and many more. Key tool plus has the advantage of having a key tool max and most of a mini prog built in and the ir key reader/programmer, but there are many solder-free adapters and cables and such to buy to do everything. keytool plus can also control xhorse key cutting machine, vvdi2 does not cos it is PC based.  I had a VVDI2 in my previous job, when I struck out on my own I bought the key tool plus.

Doing say an EWS4 BMW it’s a breeze with the key tool plus, connect adapter, read file, load file, create transponder all in one tool, same with Benz keys because it’s all built in.

Battery lasts for ages, can easily do 10+ cars with a single charge even if you’re a dope like me and forget to turn it off between jobs.

I do still prefer PC-based diagnostics from the point of view that if the laptop goes bad I just grab another one at the shop, integrated tablet units like key tool plus if something breaks it’s the whole device. But that’s why we carry multiple tools right?

Also PC based diagnostics looks a bit more ‘complicated’ shall I say to a customer, sometimes I think the tablets make a customer think anyone could do our job from the point of view that it looks simpler than a laptop and an interface and cables going every which way.

VVDI2 full gives you key programmer for VAG via OBD, 4th and 5th immo works good. Also gives you options for BMW key programming via eeprom and OBD (recommened the eeprom version, OBD is not always safe).  The Porsche is also there (eeprom) + Peugeot/ Citroen key learning via OBD. Transponder programmer is a nice Feature. It does key programming via eeprom. It has a lot of features like tango, but some of them are not working.

For older VAG is not good.  But reading old dashes and immo boxes via obd is working. But reading old dashes and immo boxes via obd is working. Same as key tool plus.

Xhorse remote database is available on both machines and it works fine with Xhorse remotes. No a single tool can do all, better have both.

 Problem:

Just bought an Xhorse VVDI2 full and had it tested on a 2001 VW Golf #VIN WVWZZZ1JZ1W718561. Under key learning the tool detected the car as KWP1281 if I remember it correctly. But it can’t connect to the car nor it succeeded to read the PIN. I tested all the available option but still no luck.

Could you point me what did i do wrong?

Solution:

If it is a 2001 petrol model then a lot of tools struggle to read pin on them. so failure to read pin on these is common with alot of tools .

It is sad but true. VVDI2 cannot do older VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi vehicles.

From Golf 5 from approximately 2005 and above, will do the job. But for some older cars it is a hit or miss.

For older vag cars use some other older tools. VAG Tacho, MVP Pro, vcds or SBB2 tool will finish job in few minutes.vag tacho is one of best on the older models.

Most 1J chassis are no problem by obd , just a few are better done by EEPROM. Most tools are smooth and fine on most 1j models, smart pro, mvp pro, zedfull , abrites, vag tacho, spvg etc , these tools were all around working on these systems long before, alot of the newer tools haven’t bothered spending on the development of older models.

Check for 3 digit engine code, most parts look up sites list this, plus there is a sticker in engine bay and one in boot by the spare wheel that list the engine code too.

 Problem: 

Tried to program remote manually BMW X5 E53 2004 using Xhorse wire remote.
Doesn’t work for me
Any help?

Solution:

It works ok, make sure the frequency is ok. you need to hold unlock button and press lock button 8 times if it is original or aftermarket key.

The programming of these Xhorse remote controls is not the same as the originals, while in the originals you press the Unlock button, and then 4 times before closing, in these generated keys (xhorse and kd remote) you press the Unlock and then press the Lock button up to 10 times, sometimes 5 check it out cycle the doors, then release both buttons.

If not working, it means a problem with the car.

 Xhorse VVDI Mini Key Tool is able to unlock(renew) Kia ID46 key by soldering. Here’s the circuit board soldered by myself. It’s a very easy job. After soldering, plug the cable to Mini Key Tool for connection.

Turn on Bluetooth, pair to Mini Key Tool in Xhorse app at first.

Special function >> Remote renew >> Hyundai & KIA >> SVI_CMFEU03

Here we can check the soldering connection diagram.

There are 4 paths, as I’ve already done everything well.

Let’s go straight to press “Unlock”.

Wait a while for processing…

Renew success.

Remove all cables and wires to read the key.

Put circuit board into VVDI Mini Key Tool slot.

Key status is unlocked now.

Perfectly done.
