(OEM Key) word means Xhorse Key on the key tool plus.
Original Key is customer key that you have.
Have to hold a battery in the Xhorse key while reading or generating. Same with original key.
Update the key BEFORE you generate the dealer key. There are a lot of different key options. Match the frequency and the picture then update.
We removed capacitors and did not replace. Keys works as before.
Bring replacement key shells. You will likely destroy the original key shell when opening. Plus it is a nice touch to have a brand new case on the customer key. I practiced on used remotes. Opening and reading key date before working on customer keys.
Xhorse new tablet VVDI Key Tool MIDI is coming soon. What’s the difference between vvdi key tool plus and key tool midi ? Does key tool midi do all the functions of key tool plus ? Same add keys and akl car list ? Free life updates ?
Here is the clue

98% vehicle coverage for TPMS systems.
Long activation range, stable programming,OE-level replacement capability
Support multiple XTPMS sensors programming simulaneously
Here we compare the enhanced version with key tool plus full version.
VVDI Key Tool MIDI vs Key Tool Plus
These are the key differences: 1.Compact Design: They Key Tool MIDI is more compact and portable. 2.Integrated TPMS: MIDI has a built-in TPMS adapter for TPMS sensor programming/activation, while the key tool plus requires an external adapter for TPMS functionality 3,Limited PROG support: MIDI does not have PROG capabilities-it can only read basic 8-pin chips and some CAS,BCM modules).Advanced tasks will require VVDI PROG or MULTIPROG.Key Tool Plus PROG function will read eeprom, MQB cluster, gearbox,ISN,BCM2,JLR RFA,MB EIS etc. 4.Similar IMMO Features: IMMO Functions are nearly indentical across devices. 5.Cloud(C-Mode) Support: MIDI includes Cloud Diagnosis Mode-C functionality

Question: Is it safe to read CAS3 module using CAS3 solder free adapter ? Xhorse and Yanhua ACDP CAS3 adapter, which is better ?
Here is the clue.
Xhorse CAS3 adapter(XDNP11): It takes time to align. The cas3 solderfree adatper can be tricky sometimes and some have hard time reading. You need to make sure you clean the coating off all the contact points really good.
Sometimes you will get chip crack failed error.
If you have an error chip crack failed with xhorse CAS3 adapter, remove clear coat from solder points, and it reads fine. Just scrap it with needle etc. Be careful.
Always use servisol PCB cleaner on boards, leave for 10ins, brush with semi firm brush, then spray again and brush.
For CAS many users recommend Yanhua ACDP. Autohex is more complicated than it needs to be. ACDP adapters do pin connection checks which we quite like.
We use the acdp boards. It checks all pins contact before it ever start decryption, so if you get connection issues during flash read then that’s a user thing or workspace error.
We would honestly say ACDP is the best though.
There will be a few times when ACDP will tell your to write back. Do what it says to do . Generally you do not write it back.
In sum:
Reading is ok with these CAS3 solderless adapters. Don’t write back. That where most mistakes happen.

This MQB48 Adapter includes: MLB main unit replacement chip Key information collector Connecting cables
MLB Main Unit Upgrade Chip: This chip is used to replace the original chip in the MLB main unit. After replacement, it will work with the information collector. Discard the original chip; no need to retain it.
Steps: 1.Disassemble the MLB main unit by removing the four case screws.
2.Remove the two screws on the circuit board.
3.Replace the chip on the circuit board.
4.Reassemble the device.
2.Usage Instructions Key Information Collector: Must be used with the MLB main unit; it cannot operate independently. Connecting Cable: Connect the adapter to the key. Follow the software instructions to remove the capacitor from the key and solder the connecting cable to the key.
Correct Connection Method for MLB Main Unit and MQB48 Key Collector: Diagrams:
Important Notes:
The MQB48 adapter has strict power supply requirements during data collection. Use two separate USB cables to power the MLB main unit and the MQB48 collector. Do not use charging adapters. The MLB main unit does not require 12V power.
Data Collection Time: Good power supply: ~15 minutes for data collection, ~1 minute for immobilizer data calculation. Average power supply: ~30–60 minutes for data collection, ~1 minute for calculation. Connecting to a PC:
Use two USB cables.
Connecting to a Tablet:
Label 1: Use a Type-C splitter cable. Label 2: Tablet power quality is insufficient. For better results, connect the OBD to the vehicle or supply external power to the OBD to maintain tablet battery. Note: Tablets with a single Type-C port have poor power stability, leading to longer collection times and lower success rates. Strongly recommend using a PC. After Successful Data Collection: The MQB48 IMMO data will be generated. Load this data into the MQB35XX option to create and program keys.
1 , Remove those those screws for take off machine screen
2, Pull out the whole motor to expose the whole motor case and remove those screws to take off motor case
3 , After remove the motor case , the cable which related conductivity it will expose , please check if that cable has any damaged
4.This cable go though whole mian motor, one side connect with led bar and one side connect with probe base ,for remove that cable it need to remove the cable socket and then pull it out from bottom led bar side .
5.Loosen the fixing screw of the conductive wire as shown above and remove the LED lamp cover.
