Some users reported that they have problems updating vvdi mini obd tool firmware and sync device.

If the version is lower than 1.5.0, try several times, change PC or network, if all failed, device information is missing. Need to send back for repair.

If the version is 2.1.50, disassemble the device, replace a new battery, update firmware and sync device again.

Sync device again after replacing battery. Then update firmware via Upgrade kit again.

Follow steps below to replace battery.

If Xhorse VVDI Mini OBD tool asks to update the firmware to V1.5.0 or above using the Xhorse Upgrade kit, here are the upgrade tips.  Update is done via Upgrade kit from PC (not phone).

First of all, update Xhorse upgrade kit to 1.8.2 online or directly install Upgrade kit 1.8.2.

Select device as MiniOBD1 and version 1.5.0.

Press Upgrade.

Update firmware successfully.

If it is not possible to update from the Upgrade kit on PC, for example Win11, you may need to install the xhorse upgrade kit system driver.

Then update Upgrade kit to 1.8.2

Then update xhorse mini obd tool to 1.5.0.

Problem:

I need to program key for my Toyota RAV 4 2016, lost all keys using xhorse vvdi mini obd tool and 8A non-smart key adapter. But the app says the adapter was bound to other devices. Any solution?

Solution:

8A adapter can only be bound to 1 xhorse device (key tool max pro, vvdi2, key tool plus or vvdi mini obd tool).
Must use the adapter with the device already combined.

For example, if bind 8A control box adapter with vvdi2, you cannot use it with mini obd tool.

The car model is a Volvo xc60 from 17/7/2017 half keyless system with CEM R32C R5f64525kfd. Some have problem when reading CEM with autel xp400 also other programmers.

Here is the easy solution with the cheapest device- xhorse vvdi mini obd tool.

All problem solved with the cheapest device that can someone could imagine remote added successfully without dissembling the CEM.

Believe it or not, car is programmed with xhorse mini obd too. it just all you need.

You could use it with key tool max or just with an Android cell phone.
I connect the mini obd a go under volvo and the normal key system.

I click ok device connected and ask me if i want backup security data and he ask me if i want to continue and the procedure will take 8 hours.

Before click ok i add an additional power supply to the car and click ok. wait kindly. After one hour and 10% of data decryption, he prompts me ” recording location” and i click ok he enter programming mode read and save security data and ask to click start button once, and put the original key then remove it. Then put the key to be programmed to the slot and all work is done.
For me it worked from the first attemp if you didnt succed don’t panic .. you have to begin from the beginning but this time at first when the device prompts you to begin you give it the recording location that the device give it to you in the first access.

Hope it helps.
