Programming keys for Audi models like the RS5, Q5, and A6 with an encrypted BCM2 module requires precision and the right hardware. This guide outlines the professional workflow for adding a key or handling an "All Keys Lost" (AKL) situation using the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus.

Prerequisites & Tools Needed Device: Xhorse Key Tool Plus. Adapter: Xhorse BCM2 Solder-free Adapter (prevents risky soldering). Connection: Stable Wi-Fi (critical for data processing). Power: 12V power cable for the adapter.

Step-by-Step Programming Process 1. Initial Identification (OBD) Connect the Key Tool Plus to the vehicle's OBD2 port to verify the module type. Check if the BCM2 is encrypted. If it is not encrypted, the process can be completed entirely via OBD. If encrypted, you must remove the BCM2 module for bench work.

2. BCM2 Module Removal The BCM2 module is typically located in the rear right of the vehicle. Safety Tip: Disconnect the power supply connector first before removing the other plugs. The module is generally easy to access and remove.

3. Bench Work with Solder-free Adapter Using an adapter is highly recommended to avoid the high risks associated with soldering. Identify Version: Check the MCU and reference number on the BCM2 to choose either Adapter #1 or #2. Connect: Secure the BCM2 into the adapter and ensure all pins are correctly aligned. Data Reading path: Immo programming >> EUROPE >> Audi >> Select by type >> Fifth immobilize system >> Read BCM2 Data >> Programmer Read(Encrypted BCM2) >> A4L/Q5 2014- key adding and all keys lost(all versions) >> Adapter method >> Step1 - identify module information >> Read >> Save data file Write Service Mode: This is the most critical stage. Ensure your internet connection is stable and do not disturb the device. (1) Follow Step2 to read/save immo data (2) Click Write >> Save BCM2 data

4. Key Generation & Learning Once the Service Mode is written, reinstall the BCM2 into the vehicle. Generate Key: Remote Program >> Audi >> All remotes >> 754C/G/J/D 315 V2 Make Dealer Key: Select the correct frequency (e.g., 315MHz) and proceed via Fifth immobilize system >> Make dealer key Key Learn: Use the "Learn Key" function. (1) Insert the original customer key first. (2) Once the dashboard shows 1/2, insert the new key. Verification: Test both keys to ensure they start the engine and all remote/keyless functions work correctly.

Pro Tips for Success Stability is Key: A stable internet connection is the difference between success and a bricked module. Frequency Matching: For imported vehicles (like Korean models), ensure you manually set the correct frequency, as standard dealership tools often cannot handle non-regional frequencies. Market Value: Programming these encrypted keys is a premium service. Dealerships often charge upwards of €450; using the Xhorse method is significantly faster and more flexible.

The Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus has successfully added functionality for programming smart keys on the 2020 Toyota Camry via the OBD-II port. Here is a detailed procedure using an original key as a reference.

Step-by-Step Programming Guide:

1. Navigate through the menu: Key programming >> ASIA >> Toyota. Select the model: Camry >> Keyless Go >> 2019- >> Type 1 (8A - Page P4 A8/A9/AA) >> Start programming >> Add smart keys.

2. The tool will display a prompt regarding EEPROM data. If you backed up the data via OBD, ignore it. If you just used adapter-backed data, restore the vehicle first. Press Yes.

3. An internet connection is required. The function allows the use of a registered original or emergency start key to add a new one. Press OK.

4. Turn the ignition to the ON position (instrument panel lights on). The Key Tool Plus will display the software number. Press OK.

5. The screen will show the current number of registered keys and the number of keys that can still be registered (e.g., Registered: 2, Remaining: 5). Note that the maximum key count may be inaccurate for some models. Press OK.

6. Crucial Step: Within 30 seconds of pressing OK, continuously touch the ignition switch with the sign surface of a registered key.

7. Immediately after, within 30 seconds, touch the ignition switch with the sign surface of the new key to be registered. Note: One beep means you should move the key farther away. Two beeps indicate successful programming. Press OK.

8. Keep the key touching the ignition switch and wait for the registration to complete. A "Key registration succeeded!" message will appear, updating the key counts (e.g., Registered: 3, Remaining: 4).

Important Note: After programming is complete, if the key remote control does not function, use the [Synchronize ECU and ID] function in the tool (multiple attempts may be needed) to sync the remote code.

If you're using the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus with a TPMS adapter from the Key Tool MIDI and encounter the message: "The current tire pressure configuration is to use the VT02 device(USB) for communication. Please insert the VT02 device(USB) into the diagnostic tool before continuing."

Don't worry - this is a common configuration issue that can be resolved quickly. Here's what the message means and how to fix it.

Understanding the Error The system is expecting a VT02-series TPMS device to be connected via USB, but it's not detecting one. This often happens when the software is set to communicate through VT02 hardware, but the adapter isn't recognized, or the settings aren't configured correctly.

Step-by-Step Solution 1. Log in to Your Xhorse Account Ensure you're signed in to your Xhorse account through the diagnostic tool to access all features and settings.

2. Select the Correct TPMS Device Navigate through the menu: Vehicle Diagnostic → TPMS → More Functions → Equipment Configuration → USB Connection (connect using VT02 series devices)

3. Check USB Preferences Go to: Settings → USB Preferences Make sure that the USB is controlled by the connected device.

Why This Works This adjustment tells the VVDI Key Tool Plus to use the connected VT02-compatible TPMS adapter for communication, resolving the mismatch between the software configuration and the hardware in use.

Final Tips Always keep your diagnostic tool and software updated. Ensure USB cables and adapters are firmly connected. Reboot the tool if the issue persists after configuration changes.

By following these steps, you'll be back to performing quick and accurate TPMS services in no time.

Just programmed a 2010 Mercedes E350 smart key successfully! Everyone said it couldn't be done - "Proximity keys don't work on pre-2011 E-Classes," they warned. But I took a chance with the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus and their Xhorse Universal Proximity Key.

Spoiler: it worked perfectly. Here's exactly how this powerful combo proved the myths wrong and delivered full smart key functionality in under 20 minutes.

Picking the Right File The tool gives you three choices: Version 51, 41, or 11. Some sites said to use 51. But that killed the proximity feature last time I tried. Another locksmith tipped me off: "Use Version 41 with the VVDI BE Key Pro." Boom! That worked perfectly.

Programming Was Smooth Since there was already a working key, no need to pull the EIS or dismantle anything.

Used the key wizard in VVDI Key Tool Plus. One-line calculation for the password. The whole thing took 20 minutes flat.

The VVDI BE Key programmed perfectly. No extra button sync needed.

Weird Remote Behavior Found something interesting: If you start the car, then turn it off...The remote buttons stop working! Until you open and close the door.

Tested with both the original and Xhorse Universal Proximity Key. The same thing happens with both.

It's a feature, not a bug!

Final Conclusion If you're hesitant about older Benzes: Don't be! Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus works great. Just remember: Use File Version 41. Set frequency to 315. The VVDI Remote Keys performed flawlessly.
