How to clone a VW Golf MK5 new key using Xhorse vvdi mini key tool?
Original key: 1K0959753G
The new key was purchased from Xhorse, an XEB510EN Gen2 wire remote, and customized to the car’s make and model using the part number on the key.
The immobilizer chip of the original key was also cloned into this key (the XT27B chip is built-in).
Preparation and cloning were done using the VVDI MINI KEY TOOL. To clone the ORIGINAL immobilizer chip, I had to walk to the car, as the VVDI MINI KEY TOOL sniffs the data exchange between the coil and the chip, then sends it to the server for calculation. To sniff, you need to hold the antenna close to the immobilizer ring and turn the ignition on and off ten times with the key removed. Each successful sniffing attempt will be displayed on the screen. It took no more than five minutes. Of course, it could have been done a little easier, by changing the ID in the new chip to match the original and adding data from the dashboard using a heavier tool like the VVDI2 . But I was interested in trying out the original chip cloning feature.
Then program remote with VDCS. I followed the standard procedure for linking the radio channel and the door cylinder and checking the functionality.
Go to Module 46 – Adaptations – Channel 01 – enter the number of keys – Test – Save. However, this didn’t work for me; the app didn’t accept the number “2.” Finally, I set the number of keys to “1” – Test – Save. I turned off the ignition, exited the car, and paired the key through the door cylinder: turn it clockwise while pressing the “Close” button, then counterclockwise while pressing the “Open” button. The key was successfully paired to the car via radio. Then I checked the functionality of the second original key and paired the second key the same way without leaving the door.
The car starts, the central locking system responds to the new key fob. Mission accomplished!
