How to Program 08 Audi A8 9C386 Key with VVDI2?

 Question: I am working on 08′ Audi A8 keyed ignition. Can I simply read with VVDI Prog and clone out/write/make dealer key with vvdi2, or do I need to write file back with the key?

Tips to make key Audi A8 2008 with vvdi2:

Kessy including kessy continental

Suits

A8

Porsche Cayenne

Vw Touareg

Bentley continental

Are all id46 chip.

Read 93C86 eeprom with vvdi prog, better solder following the wiring diagram.

Xhorse EEPROM clip will read but when loading to VVDI2 will say wrong file version.   Much better to desolder chip.

The module is a Siemens so you read the 93C86. If it is a Continental then you solder the wires on the back. Read out of circuit, you don’t want to corrupt the data. The chip is a 46 chip. You can clone out using a xhorse super chip xt27, write a file back using a 7936 or read the file and load into VVDI2 to program OBD.

Xhorse Key Tool Max Replace Battery Tips

 Question 1): I have a problem charging the xhorse key tool max battery.

Question 2): My key tool max only lasts 2 hours top, now it will go from 90% to 10% in less than 10 minutes.

Solution:

Replace a new battery.  Stock battery is 3.7 2650mah.

You can get a xhorse replacement battery for key tool max or other higher volume battery.
Replacement requires soldering skills.  We are not holding the responsibility for the damage.

Better send back to use to replace the battery in case of damage.

Here is the example. One of vvdishop.com customers got a  3.7 5000mah battery to replace it.

Only required minor modifications to the case to fit.  It does fit perfectly now. It lasts being on all day long now without an issue. So far so good.

Xhorse Dolphin II Decode and Cut Ford HU101

 Xhorse Dolphin XP005L Key Cutting Machine can decode & cut Ford Focus HU101 successfully. It also supports to cut by code if you have its actual bitting codes. However, now I can use a working key to read out with the machine directly.

Decode Key

Vehicle database >> Ford >> Focus >> USA – Gen3(After 2011)

It tells to use M5 clamp side A.

Install the working key and tip align 5^th position.

OK >> Decode key

Dolphin 2 starts decoding the key…

Once decoding is completed, XP005L screen will display the bitting codes: 2442321355.

Cut Key

Remove the working key to install a blank key for ready.

Press “Cut key >> Cut” to start.

It’s allowed to check preview here as well.

Xhorse Dolphin ii machine will start cutting when instructed.

Just wait then turn over to cut the other side.

All done!

As you can see, it’s same as the original one.

Cut By Code path:

Cut by code >> HU101 >> HU101, 10cuts >> OK >> Input codes >> Cut key >> Cut

So far, I like it, Dolphin XP005L is a pretty nice machine. The cut came out really clean and precise.
