Question:
I'm working on Range Rover Ir3 2007 CEM module.
Was reading information with VVDI PROG added a key with VVDI2 and write it back to CEM.
Went back to vehicle but would not start.
Note:
The marked component should be removed and a 10k resistor is required, and PCB should be restored after data reading.
Possible Solution:
Pinout is correct since VVDI Programmer reads data out, so check if the component is soldered back very well after reading.
Hope this could help!

One customer gave feedback that his Dolphin XP008 won't cut his keys. The cutting plate will immediately stop rotating once it touched key blank.
Here Xhorsevvdi tech shares
Reason:
XP008 is tightened by the spring.
The blank is too thick and blank touches cutting plate too quickly.
Solution:
Slightly loosen two screws, confirm machine move normally, and tighten them.
Hope this could help!

In this article we are going to compare two machines — Xhorse Condor Mini Plus II and Gymkana 994 — to see which one cuts Ford HU101 faster.
Make both to the screen before cutting.
Condor II slows down since it tells if it is a wrong cutter.
They both use 2.5mm cutter this time.
Hit Start buttons at same time.
They are about exact same time.
Swap Condor II cutter to a 1.5mm cutter.
Try again.
Gymkana machine finishes one side.
Condor machine with a smaller diameter cutter takes a little longer like a few seconds.
Review from One customer:
I would think that the 1.5mm would be a more accurate cut than the 2.5. Not sure if that really makes a difference if both keys work??? The real question when buying tools is reliability. I would rather have a machine that maybe doesn't cut as fast but I know that it is going to do the job each and every time
What do you think of the speed to a Key Cutting Machine?

Question:
VVDI PROG has a problem when writing to a 24c02 Eeprom from a 1999 Passat ECU, It reads well but it doesn't let me write?
Here is the Answer:
Xhorse VVDI PROG cannot write this chip, or try more a few times, if it still fails, then the chip is not supported.
