Problem:

Car: Land Rover Sport 2017

MCU: MC9S12XEQ384

Mask: 1M12S

Add key (customers keys works good - starts, proximity and remote work) locked RFA.

Read D-Flash and EEPROM with Autel (by removing capacitor and oscillator) - went to write key - Says invalid file (both D-Flash 4.0KB and EPROM 2.0KB have correct sizes)

Returned electronic components on the circuit board - Returned RFA in the car - customers remote and proximity stopped working, engine can be started only when key is close to the coil) - Managed to program a spare key over OBD (since MCU was already unlocked) with Key Tool Plus but same story - key only starts the engine when key is next to the coil.

Removed RFA again - Read with VVDI Key Tool plus - MCU was already unlocked after Autel - Read D-Flash, EEPROM, P-Flash and POF, tried to decoded D-flash and EEPROM with KTP and VVDI, after choosing EEPROM both say "The file is not supported by current module”;

Locked MCU using bytes - FE (received by trying unlock MCU with KTP) - didn’t make any difference.

Here is the Answer:

Oscillator is broken because it is heated too much.

Replace oscillator or KVM.

Problem:

We have x2 original keys. Both have same result on VVDI Key Tool Plus. Both keys remote central locking work.

And keys are seen by EIS when read eis key data.

Here is troubleshooting:

Step 1.Try to turn on and off the ignition to synchronize key

If there is no response from ignition. Have tried this many times. Key turns in EIS but no dash lights illuminate

Step 2.Use oem key or VVDI MB Remote?

Original keys that customer give us. No keys made. And they still operate central locking

Step 3.Make sure write new data in

if original keys are brand new, users still need to write data in;

if original keys are used, open key, desolder chip, erase data, and write new data.

Done! Hope this helps!

Xhorse Key Tool MIDI with IMMO and TPMS Function is releasing, what is the difference with Key tool plus ?What is the price and how much better is it than the Key Tool Plus?Is it possible to take MCU eeprom memories with it?

This blog XhorseVVDI.com will introduce the Key Tool MIDI, and give a brief comparsion about the enhanced version with key tool plus version, help you choose the right Key Tool series item.

Firstly, the conclusion is Key Tool Plus is more Powerful then VVDI Key Tool MIDI＞Key Tool Max Pro. If you are new for Key Tool series, MIDI is middle-level immo programming for xhorse key tools, Key Tool MIDI will be good choice for BMW, Vag, Benz key programming tool, much cheaper than KTP.

1. Key Tool Plus and Key Tool MIDI Main Difference

TPMS
Key Tool MIDI comes with Integrated TPMS adapter for TPMS sensor programming/activation, but key tool plus needs to buy extra MINI TPMS Tool(This one still needs to wait).

Limited PROG Function:

MIDI does not have PROG capabilities—it can only read basic 8-pin chips and some CAS, BCM modules). Advanced tasks will require VVDI PROG or MULTI PROG. Key Tool Plus can do more than MIDI.

Cloud (C-Mode) Support

MIDI includes Cloud Diagnosis Mode-C functionality.

2. Key Tool MIDI vs Key Tool Max Pro Comparsion

Key Tool MIDI supports more types, such as Volkswagen, Maxpro only supports 2nd and 3rd generation IMMO, MIDI with programmer and MLB tool, MQB and MLB can be done.

And Key Tool MIDI ID48 function already activated, no need to do other steps like Max Pro.

Key Tool MIDI Basic Version, Advanced, Enhanced Version Comparsion:

Key Tool MIDI, more info,we will keep updating!

Problem:

Xhorse Multi Prog can write to cflash. Only reads but not writes to dflash of processor. Customer has synced and updated 5 times,

Marked it in red in dflash, it does not say write while cflash does. When reading cflash customer changes it to dflash but the icon for write does not appear.

What could be the problem?

Here is the Solution:

Users need to pre-process d-flash data before loading it into Multi Prog Tool.

Load and write d-flash files on 'MCU>>REBESAS>>RH850>>R7F701034'.

Done! Hope this helps!

Xhorse VVDI2 and vvdi key tool plus will release BMW G series BDC2 soon, and to use safer with BMW G series car, will release BMW G series solder-free adapter to use together. Here is the test steps for key tool plus and BMW G series solder-free adapter to add BMW BDC2 key.

And as a friendly reminder, this is beta version of cable, when it is OK to sale, the product actual outlook maybe different.

Here is the step:

1. Remove the housing of the BDC2.

2. Take out the PCB, connect the BMW G series solder-free adapter with the BDC2 PCB.

3. Connect with VVDI Key Tool Plus.

4. Enter vvdi key tool plus BCD2 Programming page.

5. Then do like the 3 steps: Read Vehicle Information; Pre-process BDC2 IMMO info; Generate dealer key;

6. After successful reading and no abnormal prompts click OK to continue.

7. Pre-process step

After entering pre-processing: Step one is to back up the code.

Click OK and the system starts reading and saving the code.

The whole process needs to be connected to the network.

After the code is saved, pre- processing begins.

Step two: Enter the mode.

After entering step two, the system automatically processes data upload.

Wait patiently for the process to end until the system indicates readiness.

Step three: Read key password.

Follow the device prompt to stably connect the 8 - corner IC adapter.

Click OK to read key pass.

Read successfully, click OK to save the key code.

Step four: Upgrade programming

The process will take about 8-10 minutes.

Do not touch any connection lines or the power of the adapter during this process.

Step five: Restore the code

Click OK, and the system automatically restores the previously stored code.

After restore OK, Click OK. Then exit the pro-processing page.

8. Make Dealer Key

Select the key position for new key.

The system prompts to load the previously saved key file.

Insert the original car key to read the synchronization data from it.

Read OK and then save the sync data.

Next time if you want to add a key, you can directly generate it with the key file and synchronization data, without pre-processing again.

9. Put back the PCB into original shell.

9. Key- generating process is completed. Then perform BDC restoration.

The Xhorse BMW BDC2 adapter can only handle data processing for key matching.

To learn and verify the key, install the BDC2 in the car or use a test bench (GODIAG for BMW BCD2 Test Platform).

When learning a new key, place it within the test bench's or vehicle's induction range and press the start button for 15 seconds.

The 8- corer IC card in the video is for testers to DIY modify. The official product will have a more secure card- board structure.

More info, we will keep updating.
