Why does my key fob only work inside my car after program by Key Tool Plus?

Customer feedback:

I programmed Ford Edge 2009 key and remote by Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus. The program was successful, the key can start the engine and the remote can lock/unlock doors. The remote can work when I was inside and the driver’s door is closed, but the remote will not lock/unlock doors once I step out of the car and close the driver’s door.

In addition, I found my key’s working range is about 5-10m, but I have to remove the cover of the key fob and use the key fob. If I put it back, it still only works inside the car.

Xhorsevvdi engineer believes Key Tool Plus Pad supports Ford Edge 2009 key and remote programming, so the problem may be the key itself.

Here are the Solutions:

1.Replace the key battery

The battery may be dead or of low power, so replace the battery or try another key.

Whichever you choose, you may need to reprogram it using  Key Tool Plus.

There are two options for this model: “Select by model” or “Select by system”.

If functions of model selection fail, go to functions of system selection.

 

2.Clean the key circuit board

Circuit boards in the key fob is easy to get wet or corroded, although the key quality varies in OEM key and Aftermarket key.

Use a dry, soft brush to clean off oxidized matters gently.

If it's a surface carbon buildup, try a cleaner like “CO Contact Cleaner”.

 

3.Re-solder the battery contacts

There may be a “dry” solder joint or a scratch on the battery connector.

Solder wires for “+” and “-” battery contacts.

If you don’t know how to use a soldering iron correctly, don’t do it yourself.

 

Done! Hope this could help!

Xhorse VVDI2 Add key for VW Golf 2019 Johnson Controls OK

 

This tutorial on how to add a spare key to a 2019 Volkswagen Golf with a Johnson Controls instrument cluster, using an Xhorse VVDI2 and VAG Helper.

 

Let’s see what’s going on.

Xhorse VVDI2 doesn’t support Johnson controls.

Got VVDI2 connected and open up VVDI2 software.

Then press

Key Learn>>MQB platform instrument immobilizer>>Instrument with NEC+24C64

If we click on “Diag”, it will identify the instrument cluster.

After connecting to the device, it will tell us it’s unsupported.

 

Get immo data

Disconnect the OBD connector and put in VAG OBD Helper.

Open up VAG OBD Helper.

Just hit “Read car information”.

For a while, it will display things like VIN and tells you the next step.

Then follow to press “Online calculate immo data”.

This process took us around 10 minutes to calculate.

Then it will show you data file location, tips and supported devices.

Go to that path, we could find bin files for like VVDI and Lonsdor.

We can also look at the detailed log file.

As we see, earlier it says “Current car manufacture now stop provide service”, but try again a couple of times it worked fine.

 

Prepare dealer key

Go back to VVDI2.

Here we go to “Immo data prepare key”.

Load the immo data file as the prompt.

Then it says “This file is not supported by current module”, and the reason is the selected instrument type.

So we exit and open up again.

What we want to do is wanting it not think we’ve got a Johnson control cluster.

Go to

Key Learn>>MQB platform instrument immobilizer>>Instrument with NEC35XX

We choose this option because the file is called a 35xx.

Then we hit “Immo data prepare key” and load the file.

Select

Prepare normal dealer key>>Add key

 

Insert the original key into Xhorse VVDI2 as the prompt.

Save the sync data.

Insert the new key into VVDI2 as the prompt.

Prepare dealer key success.

 

Add key

Press

Add key>>Learn key, login with security code from immo data

Load the immo data file and input learning key number – 2.

First turn on the ignition by the original key.

Now we can see “ Key mode 1-2” on the cluster.

Then put in the new key.

Hit “OK” to finish the learning process.

All keys successfully learned.

 

Done!

Now we can start the vehicle by the two keys.

This is how we add a spare key for VW Golf 2019 with Johnson modules by Xhorse VVDI2 and VAG Helper.
