VVDI Key Tool Plus Program 2020 Toyota Tacoma XM38 Smart Key

This guide walks through the steps of programming an Xhorse smart key to a 2020 Toyota Tacoma using the Xhorse Key Tool Plus and the XM38 Smart Key, starting with one already working key.

Tools You’ll Need

Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus (with internet connection)

Xhorse XM38 Smart Key (or compatible Xhorse smart key)

One existing working key for the Tacoma

Step-by-Step Programming Process

1. Identify the Key Type
Begin by determining the transponder type of the original key.

On the Key Tool Plus, navigate to Transponder Clone.

5. Register the New Xhorse Key

Within 30 seconds, touch the ignition switch with the new Xhorse smart key.

Hold it in place until the tool indicates “Key registration succeeded.”

The system will confirm when matching is complete.

6. Test Both Keys

Turn the ignition OFF and test the original key to ensure it still works.

Then test the newly programmed Xhorse XM38 smart key—it should start the vehicle.

For final verification, remove the original key from the cabin and confirm the new key operates independently.

Tips to Clone Volvo ID48 Transponder with Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro

Will Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Max Pro clone Volvo ID48 Transponder?

Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro Clone Volvo ID48 Transponder 1

Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro Clone Volvo ID48 Transponder 2

Here is the clue:

Make sure you have the ID48 cloning function activation. You have to buy and generate 10 remotes to activate ID48 license.

You can clone aftermarket ID48 Volvo chip but you can’t clone and write to original volvo key.

Id48 is just like cloning a VW it should work no problem.

Requires 100 points or 1 token for ID48 cloning.

Even if you had the id48 clone activated you cannot write to the original id48 chip in the Volvo key. You need to program it with VIDA. Costs $217 in subscriptions to program that key assuming they have the box the key came in with the remote code.

Even if you copy id48, remote is a no go unless reading data from cem and mirror or original with code and coding with vida online.

VVDI Prog or CGPro for BMW 35160WT 35128WT EEPROM

When adjusting mileage on BMW instrument clusters equipped with EEPROM chips like the 35160WT, 160D0WTand 35128WT, two popular tools are often considered: Xhorse VVDI PROG and CGPRO. Below is a point-by-point evaluation based on real‑world testing to help you choose the right tool.

Xhorse VVDI PROG vs CGPRO: BMW Mileage Correction 1

Xhorse VVDI PROG vs CGPRO: BMW Mileage Correction 2

Feature	VVDI PROG	CGPRO
Compatibility	Broad EEPROM and module support (CAS, FRM, etc.).	Covers many BMW chips; includes adapters for 35128WT (mode 2/3).
Mileage Correction	Reliable via chip‑replacement method using dedicated emulator chips (sold separately).	Built‑in mileage editor; automatic checksum calculation for supported chips.
Ease of Use	Requires third‑party software for data editing; workflow can be complex.	More user‑friendly interface with integrated functions.
Cost & Accessories	Higher initial price (~$419); essential adapters often sold out/extra cost.	Lower entry price ($399); most adapters included.
Key Limitation	Cannot erase 35160WT mileage with standard accessories; chip replacement adds cost.	Unreliable erasure on 35160WT; cannot reduce mileage on 35128WT mode 1.
Online Requirement	No mandatory internet connection for basic operations.	Requires internet for license validation.
Overall Verdict	Robust for chip‑level replacement, but hidden costs and complexity exist.	Streamlined for common tasks, yet inconsistent on critical chips.

Summary & Recommendations

Choose Xhorse VVDI PROG if:

You need deep chip-level programming capabilities

Regularly perform BMW chip replacement or module cloning

Require reliable 35160WT solutions via chip emulation
(Note: Requires higher expertise and additional investment)

Choose CGPRO if:

Your focus is on straightforward mileage adjustment for common BMW models

Prioritize workflow efficiency and user-friendly operation

Need integrated software with automated calculations
(Note: May show inconsistency with specific chips like 35160WT)

Key Reality:
No single tool fully supports all BMW EEPROM chips. The 35160WT series remains particularly challenging.

Quick Guide:

Basic shops: CGPRO for cost-efficiency

BMW specialists: VVDI PROG for technical flexibility

Final Decision:
Match your choice to actual workflow needs and technical capability. For consistent results across varied BMW chips, a multi-tool approach often outperforms any single device. Always have backup plans for chip-specific limitations.
