Xhorse MINI ELV Emulator new vs old PCB

 Xhorse has released a new PCB revision of the Mini ELV simulator PCB. Let’s compare the differences between the new and old simulator PCBs.

Old Xhorse Mini ELV Emulator PCB looks like this:

Xhorse Mini ELV emulator new PCB revision:

The small simulation components from the original PCB have been integrated into the new larger chip.

It is not a fake or a clone one. Xhorse just modified the PCB.

The new PCB revision works just like the old version.

Xhorse ELV emulator needs activation in ezs menu afterwards. If not, they don’t work.

Xhorse Key Tool MIDI vs VVDI Key Tool Max Pro vs Key Tool Plus

 What’s the difference among Xhorse VVDI Key Tool MIDI, VVDI Key Tool Max Pro and Key Tool Plus?

1. Key Tool Midi has built-in TPMS function with a TPMS adapter. Key tool plus and key tool max pro require an extra TPMS adapter.

2. Immobilizer function:

Key Tool Midi vs Key Tool Max Pro:

VVDI Key Tool MIDI basic function does not support VAG IMMO5, CAS4/FEM/BDC and Benz IMMO functions. But you can pay to update to the full version to unlock these functionalities.

MIDI full does more IMMO functions that Key Tool Max Pro. Key Tool Max Pro only does VAG Gen2/Gen3, CAS1-CAS3 IMMO function. Max pro does not support VAG IMMO4/5/MQB/MLB, BMW CAS4/FEM/BDC immo functions. Key Tool MIDI does. MIDI also does MQB and MLB key with the MQB48 adapter.

Key Tool Midi vs Key Tool Plus:

Key Tool MIDI is lighter and smaller than key tool plus.

MIDI full version and key tool plus immobilizer functions are nearly identical except PROG function.

When programming certain vehicles, you may need to read the BCM and ECU data and then complete programming. KEY TOOL PLUS comes with a PROG (programming) feature.

• Read and write EEPROM
• Read and write VW MQB dashboards
• Read and write VW gearbox
• Read and write BMW ECU ISN
• Read and write AUDI BCM2, MB EIS, Jaguar Land Rover RFA, BMW CAS,  Porsche BCM modules, etc.

MIDI only reads 8-foot chip and several CAS and BCM modules. It cannot read other eeprom, ecu, tcu etc. You will need use vvdi prog/multi prog to these modules.

Both devices offer identical IMMO functionality for other common vehicle models.

In sum:

In terms of IMMO functionality, Key Tool Plus > Key Tool MIDI > Key Tool Max Pro.

VVDI Key Tool MIDI Basic vs Advanced vs Enhanced

 Xhorse VVDI Key Tool MIDI has 3 versatile configurations to fit your needs.

What’s the difference among Basic, Advanced and Enhanced versions?

Check the table comparison below:

IMMO Function	Basic Version	Advanced Version	Enhanced Version	Notes
Volkswagen / Audi / Skoda 4th Gen	✓	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
Volkswagen / Audi / Skoda MOB	✗	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
Audi 5th Gen	✗	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
Audi / Porsche MLB, etc.	✓	✓	✓	Requires MLB-TOOL.
BMW CAS1-3	✓	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
BMW CAS4 / FEM / BDC	✗	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
Mercedes-Benz FB53	✗	✗	✓	Requires MB adapter.
Porsche	✓	✓	✓	Requires a programmer.
Land Rover / Jaguar 15-18	✓	✓	✓	Some models require a programmer.
Land Rover / Jaguar 2018-	✓	✓	✓	Some models require chip initialization.
Other Common Models	✓	✓	✓	Some models need a programmer or adapter.
Cloud Diagnosis Mode-C	✓	✓	✓

Basic version: Supports VAG IMMO 1-4 generation, BMW CAS1-CAS3, programmer basic functions, regular IMMO models.
Premium version: basic version all features, adding VW 5 generation, BMW CAS4/FEM/BDC IMMO functions.
Enhanced version: All features of the advanced version, adding Mercedes-Benz FBS3 IMMO functions

So the Key Tool MIDI basic function does not support VAG IMMO5, CAS4/FEM/BDC and Benz IMMO functions.

The premium version does not support Benz IMMO function.

The enhanced version supports all these functions.

The Key Tool Midi series supports TPMS function with the Xhorse TPMS adapter.

Support XTPMS sensors programming and activation.

Xhorse Key Tool Max Generate Ford ID49 Remote using XSMQB Remote

Tips to generate Ford Fusion/Mustang/Edge ID49 902MHZ smart key using Xhorse remote.

This option says it is compatible with NXP-smart key, XM38 smart key, XM38 Toyota, XM38 Hyundai, XM38 BMW. But actually, only Xhorse XSMQB or B5 super remote can be used to generate Ford ID49 remote.

Example:

Generate Ford Mustang ID49 key, ID 0521 (FCCID: M3N-A2C931426) using Xhorse XSMQB smart remote.

It detects the chip type ID49 after generation.

Key tool max detects the key frequency: 902Mhz.

If you generate XM38 universal smart key, generate remote without problem. But failed to read chip data and detect the frequency.
