We will show another way of adding a key on a Mazda CX-5 (6A smart key type) using the Xhorse Key Tool (Key tool max, key tool max pro, key tool plus) and Xhorse XM38 key.
Step 1:
Generate the right key with the ID6A.
Step 2:
Go to Special Function-> Copy Proximity Remote->Mazda 6A smart key clone
Put original key into the induction coil.
Read original key.
Read original key successfully.
Place the generated XM38 smart key into the coil and write data.
People have done many these Mazdas without issue.
But better program an aftermarket key first, than you can clone from the aftermarket key to an xhorse key. It is safer.

We’ll walk through the process of reading EEPROM and immobilizer (immo) data from a 2020 Seat Leon MQB dashboard cluster and add a spare key using Xhorse VVDI Prog and VVDI2 key programmer.
Tools Required
Step 1: Disassembling the Dashboard Cluster
Step 2: Reading the EEPROM Data with VVDI Prog
Step 3: Extracting Immobilizer Data
The tool connects to a server to generate immo data, so a stable internet connection is necessary.
Step 4: Programming the New Key

I just got the mqb48 adapter for the Xhorse VVDI MLB Tool and it is showing up this error. It is updated, both USB cables connected. 2 different laptops and still have the same problem. I replaced the eeprom that came with it.
Error
“The current power supply quality is critically power, making it impossible to collect valid data.
Solution:
Follow the images below to use USB directly from pc.

Problem:
I recently purchased vvdi key tool plus and VVDI MLB Tool, I have had mini key tool and key tool max for some time. I combined these devices on the same Xhorse account. Today, when I wanted to read MLB’s conclusion, it gave me this message, “Failed to Parse server file ”
Solution:
You need to bind the MLB programmer to the device you will use it with, in this case key tool plus. It is not just plug and play. The MLB programmer should be shown on the tablet as a combined device in the combined devices section.
Updated:
FIRST TIME YOU NEED TO BIND MLB DEVICE. IT WORKS NOW.
Problem:
Had a problem calculating immo data with Xhorse VVDI MLB Tool and MQB48 adapter.
Error: “Failed to query last calculation result. There’s no result in server.” Any idea?
Solution:
Do not check ‘Query last successful reset’ option.
Hit Collect key data to calculate immo data again.
NOTE:
Removing the wrong capacitor can cause the MQB chip to become unrecognizable, making it impossible to collect data.
After reading the data, the capacitor must be restored; otherwise, the key cannot be programmed to car.
Here we will show how to calculate VAG MQB48 NEC35XX immo data with Xhorse VVDI MLB Tool and MQB48 adapter.
Model example: Audi Q2.
Tools used:
VVDI MLB Tool
MQB48 adapter
Original key
A new key to be programmed
Before using MQB48 adapter, we should modify MLB tool firmware as following:
How to Update VVDI MLB Tool Firmware to Use MQB48 Adapter?
Then we start to read immo data with MLB tool.
Run VVDI MLB Tool software. Choose MQB48 function and check wiring diagram.
Select corresponding wiring diagram. Here the key board is the same as type 5.
Need to solder 2 wires, black wire and red wire.
Remove a capacitor, the solder the red wire (near the IC position).
Open the original key shell.
Remove a capacitor as shown in the wiring. Then solder two wires.
Connect Xhorse XDMQBAGL MQB48 Adapter with MLB Tool.
Connect Key board with MQB48 adapter. Place the key to coil of MQB48 adapter in the vertical direction.
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.
Then connect MLB Tool with PC via USB cable.
Read key information. Read Key ID successfully.
Press Collect Key data.
Collecting key data and calculating immo data.
Calculation finished. Restore key back to original status. Save MQB NEC35XX immo data.
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.
Resolder the capacitor back to the key. Reinstall key shell. This is very important !!!
NOTE:
Removing the wrong capacitor can cause the MQB chip to become unrecognizable, making it impossible to collect data.
After reading the data, the capacitor must be restored; otherwise, the key cannot be programmed to car.
If need to connect MLB tool with key tool plus to calculate MQB48 immo date, make connection like this:
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.
Connect VVDI2 or VVDI Key Tool Plus with vehicle via OBD connector.
Go to MQB anti-system system (NEC35XX Continental/VDO), read cluster info.
Load immo data saved by MLB Tool.
Then generate dealer key and learn key.
