A: 1) Quality
VVDI 2 is the genuine version made by xhorse company, quality is better than TM100.

Xhorse VVDI Benz MB BGA Tool do W212 AL KEY LOST

1/11/2016

Can VVDI MB BGA Tool do W164 2008 ALL key lost?

Today one of obdii365.com customer consulted our technician whether the Xhorse VVDI Benz MB BGA Tool program his Mercedes W164 2008 model when all key lost.

Here is the replay:


VVDI MB Tool support ALL KEY LOST for Mercedes W212 models only. BUT if you have original MB W164 key in hand, it will do all key lost.

Because the NEC adapter of VVDI benz can only read & erase keys but not write. It is still not the perfect tool to program old MB models or used MB keys.

There is a MB PRO II which can read and write keys from IR, that's a better choice.

Xhorse VVDI 2 Full Customer Review by a real user

Thanks Betto Zavaleta in Saudi Arabia for the review on original xhorse VVDI 2 Commander key programmer full package.
Bought one of vvdi2 full kits + VVDI 2 remote programmer after doing a lot of research from many sellers in China. The staff from obdii365 always responded quickly, answering all questions I had.
Shipping was very quick although DHL tracking didn’t work until package had arrived
(approx. 4 days).
Every item all appears to be in a good condition, each packed well in a paper box, no damage or scratch at all, although i though a plastic one would be better. The latest vvdi2 software 1.1.0 was in the disk (free download link i saw in the web also), then I installed the vvdi ii software and driver according to the user manual, common installation method, not difficult for me. Everything seems to work OK, which is exactly as stated.
vvd2

Lack of wireless connection to the vvdi 2 seems to be less convenient, but on cable it has worked consistently well anyway.

For people considering buying a kit like this for BMW & VAG group cars, the only advice I can give is that to buy the full package to avoid inconvenience of authorization (5th AUDI, BMW obd & CAS4+ authorization need extra pay if not full package; but it seems that they can open this function for those with Condor key machine.)  It’s a great toolkit to have for diagnostics, key programming, IMMO etc. though.

Overall – I can highly recommend buying vvdi 2 or others from this vendor since everything was as advertised, plus they have fast response via emails if we users have issues or questions when using their products.
