Xhorse Key Tool MIDI Unlock Mitsubishi Smart Key

Needed to reuse several locked OEM Mitsubishi smart keys. This job shows how they were unlocked with the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool MIDI, allowing them to be programmed to another compatible Mitsubishi.

 

Check the Key Information

1. Power on the key and open Remote Clone to identify the remote frequency. In this case, the key reads 315 MHz.
2. If needed, go to Transponder Clone > Read Transponder to identify the transponder type. The key uses a 46 chip.

Select the Remote Renew Function

1. On the Key Tool MIDI, navigate to Special Function > Remote Renew > Mitsubishi.
2. Select G8D-644M-KEY (434 MHz) from the supported remote list.

Connect the Key & Unlock It

1. Follow the wiring diagram shown on the tool. Solder the four required connections:

TP4

TP12

Power (+)

Power (-)

2. Once the wiring is complete, tap Unlock.
3. The tool reports Unlock Successfully, even though the tested key is a 315 MHz version.

Verification

After unlocking, the used OEM smart key is ready to be programmed to another compatible Mitsubishi vehicle. Basic key programming can proceed normally, and the programmed key should start the vehicle and operate its standard functions.

 

Workshop Notes

The wiring is straightforward, requiring only four solder points. In this test, three used OEM Mitsubishi smart keys were renewed successfully, and the process worked even with a different key frequency.

Xhorse XM38 Failed to Generate VW Golf 8 5D Key?

Problem:

I wanna program an Xhorse key for a VW golf 8 MQB49 5D, but when I try to prepare the key it doesn’t work. Xhorse told me to put a BMW F series or xm38 but it doesn’t work.

I tried with Xhorse xm38 and BMW F Series XM38 smart remote. And xm38 it told me « need contact support, need update » but I have the last update.

 

Solution:

You cannot generate VAG 5D key using the universal XM38 remote.

Use BMW F XM38 XSBMB1BM or XSBMK1BM remote instead. The Xhorse dedicated 5D key is not yet released.

Take out PCB and generate again.

If still not working, use OEM 5D Key instead.

If the original key has UWB function, must use OEM 5D key.

How to Use Xhorse Remote Cloud Function?

Today, we’re exploring the XHORSE Remote Cloud System—a powerful solution that simplifies remote key generation and takes the guesswork out of matching keys to vehicles.

Understanding the Challenge

One of the most common challenges when creating duplicate keys is identifying the correct remote type for a specific vehicle. When a customer arrives with a single key and requests a duplicate, how do you determine which option to select on your XHORSE device?

This scenario plays out daily in workshops everywhere. A customer brings in their vehicle’s key—and you need to generate a compatible remote. The XHORSE Remote Cloud System solves this problem intelligently.

 

 

The XHORSE Device Range

Similar functionality is available across the XHORSE product line, including:

• VVDI Key Tool Plus
• VVDI Key Tool MIDI
• VVDI Key Tool Max
• VVDI Key Tool Max Pro

All these devices share comparable functions when it comes to remote cloning and generation.

 

Step-by-Step Remote Detection Process
1. Accessing Remote Cloud Mode

Start by navigating to the Remote Cloud option on your XHORSE device. This is where the magic happens—the system will help you identify which remote option you need.

2. Running Auto-Detection

Here’s where the technology shines. Instead of guessing which remote type matches your customer’s key, let the device do the work:

• Select the Start Detect function.
• Select remote key type.
• Press the Lock button on the customer’s remote when prompted.
• Press it again as directed.

The device will analyze the signal and display the matching option.

Within moments, your XHORSE device will display:

• The compatible generation option
• Part numbers (e.g., Q6000)
• All relevant details for that specific remote type

3. Real-World Example

The process works consistently across different vehicle makes. For instance, when detecting a Mahindra remote, the device quickly identifies it as a “Bero” option, making it immediately clear which selection to use.

Handling Multiple Options

Sometimes the system may display two, three, or even five possible options for a single remote. How do you know which one to choose? Rather than generating a physical remote for each option, XHORSE provides an elegant solution.

Using the Emulator Function

The built-in emulator feature allows you to test compatibility without generating a physical key:

• Generate the remote in the emulator (no physical key needed)
• Match it using the standard pairing procedure for that vehicle type
• Test functionality—if it works, you’ve found the right option
• Generate the physical remote only after confirming the correct option

This approach saves time, money, and materials by preventing unnecessary remote generation.

 

Practical Example: AutoCop Remote

When testing multiple options (as shown with an AutoCop central locking remote), simply:

• Generate each option in the emulator
• Test pairing to the vehicle
• Identify which option works perfectly
• Proceed to generate the physical remote only for the confirmed option

Key Benefits of the XHORSE Remote Cloud System
1. Time Savings

Auto-detection eliminates guesswork, allowing you to quickly identify the correct remote type.

2. Reduced Waste

Testing via emulator means you only generate physical remotes when you’re certain of compatibility.

3. Expanded Knowledge

Even when you’re unfamiliar with a particular vehicle or remote type, the system guides you to the right solution.

4. User-Friendly Interface

The intuitive detection process requires minimal input—just press the lock button and let the device analyze.

5. Versatility

Works across multiple vehicle makes and remote types, from Mahindra to Activa and beyond.

Tips for Success

• Always start with auto-detection when unsure about remote compatibility
• Use the emulator to test multiple options before generating physical remotes
• Save the correct options for frequently encountered vehicles
• Update your device regularly to ensure access to the latest remote databases
• Practice the detection process to become more efficient over time

Conclusion

The XHORSE Remote Cloud System represents a significant advancement in automotive key programming. By combining intelligent auto-detection with flexible emulation capabilities, it transforms what was once a trial-and-error process into a precise, efficient workflow.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to key programming, these tools help you work smarter, save time, and deliver better results for your customers. The small tricks and techniques—like using the emulator to test compatibility—can dramatically improve your efficiency and expand your service capabilities.

As technology continues to evolve, staying current with these solutions ensures you remain competitive and capable in the automotive locksmith industry. The XHORSE system makes remote generation truly “made easy,” turning complex identification tasks into straightforward, guided processes.
