Xhorse Mini Key Tool Audi 8E Unlock Failed Solution

 Why I can’t unlock an Audi 8E key with Xhorse VVDI Mini key tool? in vvdi says, no j518 dump is required (picture 2)

Solution:

The Unlock 8E remote function will unlock xhorse 8E transponder ONLY.

Can not unlock OEM or aftermarket 8E transponder.

Only can be unlocked with immo data from that car. Cannot be done without original dump from original car that the key came from.

When to Use Xhorse VVDI MB OBD Clip?

 We may find that it is seldom used the VVDI MB Tool OBD Clip while programming Mercedes. In general, we more often use the OBD cable connector instead. So when and how to use the OBD clip?

When programming Benz 204/207 with directional lock on car, it’s not able to read data with VVDI MB Tool by OBD directly. That’s because data will be interfered due to OBD connection. That’s why locksmiths always remove directional lock on bench to read immo data or match simulator.

Can we program Benz 204/207 without wiring harness on car?

The answer is yes.

By reason of filtration and interference from other car modules, it’s failed to read immo data by OBD. But we can bypass the interference through connecting OBD communication line on device to directional lock straightway. That’s what the VVDI MB OBD Clip can do: connect to directional lock.

How to use VVDI MB OBD Clip?

1. Break open the communication line of directional lock;
2. Clamp to communication line.

Note:

* DO NOT disconnect plugs of directional lock & ELV Emulator.

* Clamp to the corresponding line for red marked pin.

* Need to break wire skin.

It’s recommended to use the way in case emergency without any EIS/ELV Test Lines.

Will Xhorse Dolphin XP-007 cut Ford Tibbe Keys?

 I have just purchased the xhorse Dolphin xp-007 manual cutting machine. Does the dolphin xp007 do tibbe keys if so does it come with clamp?  I’m looking for help on how to fit and cut Ford Tibbe keys, I can’t find a video on YouTube?

Solution:

The dolphin xp007 machine does not cut tibbe keys.

If you read descriptions that it has clamp to cut tibbe key, that’s incorrect. 

Xhorse M3 clamp is made to cut Jaguar and Ford tibbe key blades. It is compatible with automatic key cutting machine Xhorse Condor and Dolphin XP005/XP005L only.
