How to Cut VW Passat CC Plastic Key with Xhorse Condor

How to cut plastic car keys using Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus? The VW Passat/CC and old BMW all have plastic keys for emergency blade, so this is a very useful tip for locksmiths. You can follow the tip if you have any other Xhorse Key Cutting Machine.

*You can’t nornally just put the plastic key on clamp for direct decoding or cutting.

• You should LISHI the door or figure out the bitting codes at first.

• Then once you do that, put a metal key on the clamp and perform “Cut Key”. When the probe dedects it, pause Xhorse Condor machine right before it starts cutting.

• Change the metal key into plastic key and put it on the clamp.

• Hit “Cut” to continue key cutting. You can just repeat the same operation for the other side cutting.

That’s the key we cut it now. Let’s test it.

Yep, so it does work, it can open the door.

Done.

VVDI Key Tool Plus vs VVDI MB Tool

 Question:

I need to buy VVDI MB Tool, so I’m seeing if it’s worth buying the VVDI Key tool Plus tablet. Are the vvdi-mb functions all available in the tablet, or is tablet a “lite” version?

Here is the clue.

There are some small differences between them bit not big.
The biggest difference is user-level.
If you just want to make keys fast as possible, keytool plus does everything for you. More expert vvdi MB. You can manually select the steps you want to do.
Keytool plus is easy, but if you have a job that requires just part of the info for a other job then keys, its a no go.
Depends on the user experience level. Kinda Android vs iPhone story.

If you mostly need to diagnose EIS/ESL issues rather then key jobs, then save money and buy VVDI MB and testing cables, gateway, ESL emulators for bench testing and a few keys.
