Problem:
Failed to update xhorse vvdi mini key tool firmware via app and via upgrade kit on PC.
When update firmware via app, it reported error “Erase the internal chip 1 fail”.
Here is the VVDISHOP engineer solution:
1. Turn off device.
2. There is a small hole on the back of the device case. There is a button inside, press the button with a toothpick, then hold the power button.
3. Turn on device, then try to update firmware again, it should be fine.
It’s a Renault Scenic with ID46 chip key. We’ll make a key using xhorse universal smart key.
We will use vvdi mini key tool.
We generate a Xhorse XSKFF0EN 4-button smart key
Let’s take it apart, put the board into the mini key tool programmer, again select our car, the remote control with the ID46 chip and press for generation.
Generate remote completed successfully.
and then we go to the car, program key with key tool, for example, RenoLink.
We place the board from the key in the card slot with the chip at the bottom, this is the only way the receiver will detect the card.
Select your car and read PIN
then click Connect, click Test Presence, it has determined that there is one native card and there is an empty card in the slot
then click Start Learning, the card is detected in the reader
check the box, click Learn Key Card and add our native card again. at the bottom the light turns red Card Learnt OK means the card is programmed.
Next, click Validate, then Cancel and click Disconnect. Exit the application, close everything, disconnect.
We press the buttons of the new remote control, everything works, we collect the key, we get out of the car, we close the doors, we press the close button and… here it’s a bummer, the close button does not work and only the turn signals blink, we press the other buttons, the panic button works, the headlights turn on and off, opening the trunk opens the car, and the door open button, on the contrary, closes the doors. In short, the buttons do not work as they should. Let’s connect again to the xhorse mini key tool, insert the key and read the information on the buttons.
We see this picture, the top 4 indicators are buttons and the code in numbers corresponds to the command.
panic button – 01 corresponds to reality, lock button – 08 and it unlocks it, so we write code 08 on the unlock button, then the trunk has code 04 and it unlocks the doors, again we enter code 04 for the unlock button, and accordingly the code remains 02 is the opening of the trunk, enter it for the trunk button and press the INSTALL button at the bottom of the display. all settings are saved, codes are registered.
Then we go to the car and check how everything works.

Question: I need to program a universal Xhorse key for European Opel Vectra C 2005, original key ID 46 as in the photo. There is no vectra C in the vvdi mini key tool selection.
If generate remote under this option, remote not work after programming with im608.
Solution:
Some managed to generate remote under this key option: PCF7946 Delphi BSI
Review:
2005 Opel Vectra C Fiat Delphi BSI software was applied to the xhorse super XE remote, the pin code was received by autel, the coding was done with xtool x100 pad3.
Note: The communication with the vehicle computer could not be established for a long time, the car was left running for 15 minutes, then the coding was successful.
If you fail to use this option, use aftermarket Pcf7946 or original key. Then program with key programmers T300, CK100 etc.
Problem:
I am having an issue with the xhorse mini key tool. I was updating it (firmware) via upgrade kit and the battery died. Now I keep getting fails trying to complete update and tool is stuck on ‘USB —PC’. It says SAFE1 also when I turn it on.
Solution:
Firmware upgrade should be done via Upgrade kit.
If key tool battery is low or the internet is unstable, you will fail to update firmware.
Charge keytool and change network, try several times.
If all failed, there is something wrong with the mini key tool. Send back to your dealer for repair.
