How to solve VVDI Max Program XM Smart Key Prox Feature doesn’t Work

Q:

Working on a Toyota Tacoma 2016 smart key board 2110 using VVDI Key Tool Max, Only one option makes the remote work but none has the proximity/smart feature working, Toyota Rav4 2018 the same issue.

Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Program XM Smart Key  01
Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Program XM Smart Key  02

Here Xhorsevvdi engineers answer:

Sometimes a smart key generated successfully may not fully function the vehicle: remote doesn’t work, doesn’t have smart feature or even one button fails etc., which needs us to modify smart key’s values manually.

Possible reason:

Xhorse XM smart keys are universal keys, not particular for one model like Toyota Tacoma 2016, so we need to customize XM smart key to find correct values for each car.

Solution:

XM smart key customization by VVDI Key Tool Plus or Key Tool Max.

Path: Special Function>>XM smart key customization

Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Program XM Smart Key  03

1)Modify Frequency

Sometimes the frequency options given to us is slightly different from that of the smart key to be programmed.

So read out the frequency “A” that your vehicle wants by Xhorse devices, then read original XM smart key frequency “B” and set “B” to “A”.

2)Modify Baud

Read key’s Baud, increase it by 400, and test if it works perfectly.

If not, add Baud again by 400 until it works well. (The last two numbers may vary automatically, which is normal.)

Customer feedback:

I had exactly the same problem with a Corolla 2018, and I just made the changes on the ID and frequency as well and everything works…

Thank Tyler and Raphael for sharing!

Hope this could help!

How to use Xhorse Vvdi Prog + Vvdi EZS Adapter to read W211 EIS

Hi there, today Xhorsevvdi is going to show you a simple way to read Benz EIS data. We’ll use Xhorse VVDI Prog and EZS adapter to read Benz W211 EIS. Of course, VVDI Prog is not the only choice, EZS adapter can also work with the VVDI Key tool plus (Xhorse multi-function XDKP30 adapter is needed) or MINI Prog (DB9 cable is needed).


Procedure:

Step 1

First we remove EIS cover.

Then put it in W209/211(HC12) EZS adapter and fasten it.



 

How to use Xhorse Vvdi Prog + Vvdi EZS Adapter  to read W211 EIS 03

Connect the set to VVDI Prog by the cable supplied.



Supply power to VVDI Prog and connect it to PC.



Step 2

Open up VVDI Prog software.

Select

Type>>“4-IMMOBILLIZER”

Brand>>“BENZ”

Chip>>“EIZ-W211-HC12(ADAPTER)”.

Select “EEPROM” and press “Read” to get EEPROM data.

How to use Xhorse Vvdi Prog + Vvdi EZS Adapter  to read W211 EIS 07

Click on “Save” to save EEPROM data.

Select “FLASH” and press “Read” to get FLASH data.



Also click on “Save” to save FLASH data.





Done!

It’s really easy for VVDI PROG to read Benz EIS data with EZS adapters.

Without the adapter, you have to solder cables to EIS circuit board. That would be a tough job.

Xhorse VVDI PROG do mileage change for 535i F10 6wb

 Hello guys, I have here 2013 535 F10 with 6wb cluster to do mileage correction. I couldn’t modify mileage in dumps, I already wrote the modified in CAS, but I couldn’t write the dump 160d0wt in IC, thought VVDI prog cannot do this service. I have VVDI PROG and VVDI BIMTOOL

Update:
VVDI PROG can ERASE the first 2 lines, I do use adapter SOP16.

Tips:

35160D0WT EEPROM is not erasable and has page-id which locks this memory to its own dashboard-micro. you CANNOT erase or substitute original memory with recovered/bought one. You have to emulate the original memory with an emulator and then edit the data. This requires special tooling and emulator etc.

Hope it helps!
