Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Functions

1. Transponder Cloning

Supports identification of all immobilizer transponders currently on the market, with cloning and editing capabilities for select models.

Supported Editing Transponder Types:
36/46 (Hitag2), 47 (Hitag3), 48, 4D (40/80), 7935

Supported Cloning Transponder Types:

• 36/46: Original or aftermarket transponders (offline cloning)
• 4D-40 bit: 60, 63, 83, 67, 69, etc. (offline cloning)
• 11/12/13/4C/30/33/42 (offline cloning)
• Toyota 72-G (online cloning)
• Hyundai/KIA 70 (4D-80 bit) (online cloning)
• Ford 83-80 bit (online cloning)
• All 48-bit transponders (online cloning)

Supported Unlock Transponder Types:

• Unlock Xhorse special 4D and 46 transponders
• Unlock all locked 7935 transponders

After entering the transponder cloning function:
Place the transponder on the detection area and press [OK] to begin identification.

Identification result display:

Press to edit transponder
Use directional buttons to move cursor or modify content. Press [OK] to confirm.

Press to start cloning
Some transponders require ignition data acquisition first; others only need data sniffing. Press [OK] to begin.

If data acquisition is successful, it will be displayed automatically and the buzzer will beep.

Transponder password or vehicle matching password:
After successful cloning, press directional button 3 to view detailed data.
(Useful for vehicles that don’t require password matching, such as BYD, or for retrieving Hyundai/KIA smart key passwords.)

After obtaining the transponder password, ensure you use the correct type of blank transponder for cloning. Refer to the following guide:

2. Transponder Generating

Supports generating hundreds of vehicle immobilizer transponders. ID36/ID46 special transponders can be created using the Xhorse SN2 universal (wireless) remote, which supports reuse.

Process: Select brand → vehicle model → year/configuration. If your vehicle isn't listed, choose [More Vehicle Model] to proceed manually.

Attention: Some special transponders may be permanently locked after generation—always follow tool prompts.

3. Remote Cloning

Includes HCS/fixed code cloning, non-HCS rolling code cloning, and remote editing.

HCS/Fixed Code Cloning

• Supports common fixed codes: PT22XX, LX918, HT6P20, etc.
• Supports hundreds of vehicle and garage HCS rolling code remotes (cloning and generating)
• Generated remotes must be reprogrammed into the receiver box
• Compatible with all Xhorse Universal Remote series

Non-HCS Rolling Code Cloning

• Supports all fixed code remote cloning
• Supports select special models (e.g., Hornor) without repeated codes
• Supports direct cloning of certain non-repeated code HCS-type remotes
• Note: Only compatible with Xhorse universal wire remote series

Remote Editing

• Supports editing formats: PT22XX, LX918, HT6P20, VD5026, AX5326, HT12X, and other common fixed-code data
• Uses Xhorse universal remotes for emulation
• Compatible with all Xhorse universal remote series

For accurate frequency testing during cloning, place the remote’s front surface close to the testing area and briefly press the buttons as prompted. Upon receiving data, the device will beep automatically. During the process, transponder type, baud rate, frequency, and bit information are displayed on-screen.

Attention: If no data is received, check the remote battery and ensure the original remote uses ASK modulation.

If frequency readings are inaccurate, manually adjust the value using directional buttons when generating the remote.

HCS rolling code cloning may interfere with the original remote signal. It's recommended to use a new remote compatible with the vehicle. For SN-series (wireless) remotes, install the battery and place in the transponder detection area. For N-series (wired) remotes, remove the battery and connect via programming cable to the programming port.

4. Remote Generating

The VVDI Key Tool includes built-in data for over 1200 vehicle models (continuously updated), including remote images and pairing instructions. Users can select the correct data file by vehicle model and program Xhorse universal remotes to match the vehicle’s control unit.

Brand list supports personalized ranking: Press [OK] until the brand name turns green and transparent, then use directional buttons to reorder. Press [OK] to confirm or [C] to cancel.

Attention: Some chip-on-board remotes are only compatible with Xhorse SN series remotes.

During generation:
- SN series: Install battery and place in transponder detection area
- N series: Remove battery and connect via programming cable

5. Garage Generating

This function is not available in the current version. Please use the remote cloning function to duplicate garage door remotes.

6. Renew Remote

Supports dozens of vehicle models for remote renewal (expanding continuously). Use a renew adapter or soldering wires to connect PCB directly.

Note: Contact your dealer for connection diagrams related to remote renewal.

7. Frequency Testing

Supports 300–500MHz frequency detection, relative power, signal modulation, and IR testing.

During frequency testing, press the remote button to transmit the signal. A moving "green wave" at the top-left of the screen indicates valid frequency and modulation. For IR testing, point the IR emitter at the testing area (15–80cm distance based on strength). A small red light at the bottom of the screen confirms IR signal detection.

Attention: For FSK-modulated remotes that fail to test, try short-pressing the button repeatedly.

8. Special Functions

• All Key Lost Testing: Place near ignition coil. If a signal is detected, the tool beeps and identifies supported transponder types (36, 47, 4D). Other types not yet supported.
• Toyota Smart Key Unlock: Supports unlocking 40/80-bit original Toyota smart keys. Insert key with battery into detection area and press unlock. Intermittent flashing LED on the key PCB indicates success. Retry if needed.
• VVDI Special Transponder: Initializes Xhorse SN series universal remotes for transponder types 11/12/13/46/47. After initialization, they can be used to generate special immobilizer transponders and match to the vehicle.
