Program Xhorse ELV Emulator to W212 with VVDI MB

 Problem:

We have a 2010 Mercedes E350 W212 in our shop.  The steering column lock stopped operating.  We purchased an ELV emulator by xhorse to use with our vvdi mb tool.

When I follow the procedure I found on multiple places, I get to the point where I read the EIS and hit ‘get’ on erase password.  When I paste this result into the field above it, the password does not seem to be hashed out, rather it pastes the same value that is in the erase password field.  Error “Erase EIS ……Failed”

The procedure I followed is as follows:

Step 1 – Using xhorse w204 eis cable hook up two connectors to EIS and one connector to xhorse emulator EZL.
Step 2 – Apply power source to cable
Step 3 – Hook up vvd mb
Step 4 – Load vvdi mb software
Step 5 – Read ESL using ESL TOOLS.  In which case the status comes back as ‘ESL Status: Closed’
Step 6 – Read EIS using EIS TOOLS.  In which case the status comes back as ‘Reading data success.- EIS is normal’
Step 7 – Click ‘get’ button beside erase pass.

As described above, I can go no further than this due to incorrect password calculation.  Arguably it is not calculating a password at all.

Solution:

You doing it wrong.
You need to calculate EIS (Ignition switch) Password, and save data. After that this data has to be written is ESL ( lock) menu. Erase password has nothing to do with this.

When you hit “Get” that’s erased password AKA service password to renew eis which is needed to erase data and renew eis which even if you don’t have EIS pass you can’t do it

What you need to do is go to password calculation and calculate EIS password , like if it was a ALL LOST KEYS.

So go to password inquiries and start a reading, if you have subscription then we recommend doing All lost keys option to Get EIS password, then

Once you get password from server, copy and save it then do as following
1. Go to EIS menu
2. Read EIS data
3. Copy password in password section
4. click “get password” so you’ll have service password as well
5. Save EIS data
6. Renew eis by IR
7. Load eis data ( saved in step 5)
8. Write VIN by OBD
9. Write EIS data by IR
10. Personalize ELV emulator.
11. Stick key in and you will see it’s activated
12. Connect both to car and start it.

If you want to only use 1 token connect EIS back in car and do it like if it was a copy, when it asks if elv sync click yes,, then follow prompts.

Otherwise just wait until tokens go into your acc and do as indicated above.

Which Xhorse Key Cutting Machine is Better for Motorcycle Key

 It really doesn’t have any for motorcycle keys. What is a good key cutter for motorcycles?

Here’s the clue.

Xhorse Condor and Dolphin key cutting machines are mainly fro car keys, but also have a few motorcycle and household keys are on database.

The Xhorse key cutter are the cheapest it been the most reliable and most accurate key cutting machine, it also boots the quickest and has done 99% of the keys people need.

In Condor mini plus has some Motorcycle data included. So does Dolphin XP005, XP005L and Condor II.

You can use universal duplicate to duplicate a motorcycle key. You can also create custom key data.

You can create custom bitting with the app, We’ve been doing Honda and Suzuki motorcycle keys with the Condor.

You can search and download my Suzuki bitting in the app, it’s under “Hayabusa”.

Custom Key Tool for Condor XC-Mini is perfect for double sided keys or high security. You can find all the measurements of your key blank on InstaCode.

It does not have many kawasaki keys database, you need Instacode as reference to get a key blank code and then on the Cut by Bitting menu search for that key blank HON77 for example.

KW15

Condor XC009 also makes all vertical motorcycle keys.
As for key programming,  Tango and tmpro have pretty good coverage on bikes.

OBDSTAR also releases motorcycle special key programming devices.

Tips to Change Xhorse Toyota XM38 Frequency

 Open up the original Toyota remote and see the number on the circuit board, if it match with one of the number that Xhorse xm38 supported then it is good to go.

After generate XM38, go to Toyota Smart Key setting change frequency and learn key.

How to Set xhorse Toyota XM38 smart key frequency.
1- If you have created the correct key, you will hear the beep sound 2 times while coding the key to the vehicle.
2- If keyless start and remote doesn’t work use this method. After you find the true frequency for the car, remote and keyless will start working automatically. No need to program again. No need to generate the same freq and button.

If the remote can be programmed to the vehicle and start, later you can change the xm38 remote frequency and button function under the toyota smart function key tool.

For example, after generate xm38 the frequency is 314Mhz, but we need 315Mhz, follow images to set frequnecy

Go to Special Function->Toyota smart Key setting -> read Key information-> frequency-> Choose frequency you desire and save. Then read frequency again.

If need change the frequency to 434Mhz, select 434Mhz and save.

Xhorse vs Keydiy Universal Remote

Xhorse and Keydiy both are good devices at adding remote control and chip. Which one would you prefer to use between xhorse and keydiy smart universal keys?

Here’s the clue.

Xhorse does have good quality keys. Keydiy makes some of OEM look keys. But the quality is not like xhorse.

Xhorse cover pretty more Smartkey than Keydiy. Keydiy kd-x2 can generate some remotes that missing on Xhorse and the time for ID48 cloning is faster than with xhorse.

KeyDIY(KD-X2) used to be better at first, but Xhorse has picked up the slack and I’d say they are almost the same. One can do stuff that the other can’t though, like Like Xhorse does Jeep Compass and Renegade Smart keys and KeyDIY doesn’t yet.  Look at the application GUI layouts, they almost look the same. They want you to buy both to get best coverage and the cost is cheap, so best to do that.

So you will need 2-3 different items or more. To be sure to do the job, with one of them.
