Xhorse user review:
Audi S3 2017 (virtual BOSCH dashboard), adding MQB key success with VVDI KEY TOOL PLUS).
Collect immo data with VVDI MLB Tool and MQB48 adapter.
Then generate dealer key and learn key with key tool plus.
Important observations:
Dashboard Identification:
- For BOSCH virtual dashboards, automatic vehicle identification through the tablet is unreliable.
- Critical step: Manually select “MQB (VDO/JCI-NEC35xx lock)” in your programming tool before adding keys.
If your dashboard is BOSCH virtual, and you are relying on the tablet to correctly perform automatic identification of the vehicle, you are wrong, the tablet will fail you. You must manually select MQB (VDO/JCI-NEC35xx lock) and add the key from there.
Remote Function Behavior:
- After adding a new key without proper remote selection, both keys’ remote functions will stop working (though keyless entry remains functional)
- Solution: Program the correct remote type (in this case, a Golf GTI remote profile resolved the issue.
FYI:
The server calculates the immo data without the VIN number in it, but I don’t think this is a problem because a few days ago I add a key for a similar car and there I didn’t add the VIN in the immo data and the car starts normaly! Rather, the failure is due to an incorrectly selected menu in the tablet.
