Q1: What are the differences between the Key Tool Plus and the Key Tool MIDI? Do they both support Mercedes FBS3, TPMS, and the same add-key/AKL car list? Are updates free for life?
A: The Key Tool Plus includes a built-in PROG function, which the MIDI lacks. As a result, MIDI cannot read certain module chips on its own and must be used with additional devices such as the VVDI PROG or Multi-PROG. Both tools offer free lifetime updates.

Q2: How do the IMMO functions of the Key Tool MIDI and the Key Tool Max Pro differ?
A: The Key Tool MIDI supports a wider range of car models, including newer VW models. In contrast, the Max Pro only supports 2nd and 3rd-generation vehicles. MIDI can work with the VVDI PROG Programmer and MLB Tool to support MQB and MLB platforms.

 

Q3: Does the basic version of the Key Tool MIDI cover some of the functions of VVDI2?
A: Yes, some VVDI2 functions are supported. However, for certain operations, it still needs to be used in conjunction with a VVDI Programmer or other devices.

 

Q4: Can I use the Key Tool MIDI with MQB48 Solder-free Adapters to read instrument clusters?

A: No, the MIDI does not have VVDI Programmer functionality and therefore cannot directly read instrument clusters.

 

Q5: Does the Key Tool MIDI support the same IMMO functions as the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus?
A: Not entirely. For some car models, the MIDI requires additional programmers or adapters to perform IMMO functions.

 

Q6: Can the Key Tool MIDI operate offline, or is an internet connection required?
A: Like the Key Tool Plus and Key Tool Max Pro, an internet connection is necessary for certain functions. It is recommended to remain connected to the internet throughout the entire process for optimal performance.

 

Q7: Can the Key Tool MIDI perform VAG functions via OBD?
A: It depends on the specific car model and year. Compatibility varies.

 

Q8: Does the Key Tool MIDI require a specific TPMS sensor, or can it work with OEM sensors?
A: Xhorse offers its own TPMS sensors. The Key Tool MIDI supports sensor learning for some third-party sensors but does not support programming those sensors.
