Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus Programs a VW Passat B6 ID48 Key

Adding a key for the Volkswagen Passat B6 using the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus is a quick and straightforward process, accomplished entirely via OBD. This guide outlines the procedure in four simple steps, including free PIN code reading. Follow the steps below to learn how.


Step 1: Read PIN Code


1. Navigate to: Immo programming > VW > Select by type > 4th immo system - Volkswagen/Skoda/Seat > VW Passat/CC key learn > Start programming.


2. Select 1 - Get PIN/CS > Read from engine(read by OBDII).


Important Notes:

① For the B6/CC/B7, you can read the engine ECU to obtain the PIN and a 6-byte CS code without needing the comfort module dump file.

② Adding a Key: The 7th byte of the CS can be obtained from a working key. For 46-chip keys, use FF for the 7th byte.

③ All Keys Lost: For 48-chip keys, try to make a dealer key. For 46-chip keys, use FF for the 7th byte.

④ Press "OK". A prompt will appear stating "Only support read PIN, CS, MAC now". Press "OK" again.

⑤ Switch the ignition OFF, then ON.

⑥ The login code will be successfully read.

Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus MQB NEC3526 PCB Wire Cutting Guide

After activating the VAG MQB license on the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus Pad, it is essential to learn how to lift a pin or cut a wire before reading the NEC35xx immobilizer data. This procedure is required to proceed with key learning and all-keys-lost programming for MQB vehicles.


The following guide demonstrates how to cut the correct PCB wire on an MQB dashboard equipped with an NEC3526 immobilizer.


Step-by-Step Guide to Cutting the Wire on MQB Dashboard (NEC3526)


1. Remove the PCB Board from the Dashboard Module

Begin by carefully taking out the printed circuit board (PCB) from the instrument cluster.

2. Access the Connection Diagram in VVDI Key Tool Plus

Navigate through the menu as follows:

Immo Programming → VW → Select by Type → MQB Instrument Immo System → Instrument – MQB48 (VDO/JCI – NEC35xx Locked) → Start Programming → Programmer Read Files → Read NEC35xx Chip

This will display the wiring and connection diagram needed for the procedure.

4. Carefully Cut the Wire

Follow the instructions to cut the designated wire. Ensure that the FVDD hole no longer conducts electricity to the adjacent capacitor.

Caution: Avoid damaging nearby capacitors during the cutting process.
