1. Introduction
The Xhorse XN Wireless Universal Remote Key is designed for use with VVDI key programming devices such as the VVDI MINI Key Tool and VVDI Key Tool Max. These remote keys (models XNTO00EN and XNDS00EN) are blank keys that require programming to function with a specific vehicle. They feature a 3-button configuration for common remote functions.
2. Setup and Programming
These remote keys are supplied without a transponder chip or battery, which must be installed and programmed according to your vehicle's requirements.
2.1 Components Required (Not Included)
- Compatible transponder chip for your vehicle.
- Appropriate remote key battery (e.g., CR2032, check vehicle specifications).
- VVDI MINI Key Tool or VVDI Key Tool Max programming device.
2.2 Programming Steps
- Install Transponder Chip and Battery: Open the remote key casing and carefully insert the correct transponder chip and battery into their designated slots. Ensure correct polarity for the battery.
- Connect VVDI Device: Power on your VVDI MINI Key Tool or VVDI Key Tool Max.
- Select Key Type: Within the VVDI software, navigate to the 'Remote Generation' or 'Key Cloning' section and select the appropriate vehicle make, model, and year.
- Generate/Clone Remote: Follow the on-screen instructions on your VVDI device to generate the remote data or clone an existing key. This process typically involves placing the XN Wireless Remote Key in the device's coil area.
- Vehicle Learning Procedure: After generating the remote, perform the vehicle learning procedure. This usually involves connecting the VVDI device to the vehicle's OBD-II port and following prompts to synchronize the new key with the vehicle's immobilizer system. Refer to your VVDI device's manual or vehicle-specific instructions for detailed steps.
- Test Functionality: Once programming is complete, test all remote functions (lock, unlock, trunk) and ensure the vehicle starts with the new key.
3. Operating Instructions
Once successfully programmed to your vehicle, the XN Wireless Universal Remote Key functions like a standard vehicle remote control.
3.1 Button Functions
- Lock Button: Press once to lock all vehicle doors.
- Unlock Button: Press once to unlock all vehicle doors.
- Trunk/Car Locator Button: This button typically activates the trunk release or a car locator function (e.g., flashing lights, horn chirp) depending on your vehicle's configuration.
4. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your remote key.
- Avoid Water and Moisture: Do not expose the remote key to water or high humidity, as this can damage the internal electronics.
- Protect from Drops and Impacts: Avoid dropping the key or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can cause physical damage or dislodge internal components.
- Temperature Extremes: Do not leave the key in direct sunlight or in extremely hot or cold environments for extended periods.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the key with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement: When the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement. Open the casing carefully (refer to Figure 2 for internal layout) and replace the old battery with a new one of the correct type and polarity.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your XN Wireless Universal Remote Key, consider the following:
- Key Not Responding After Programming:
- Ensure the battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge.
- Verify that the correct transponder chip was used for your vehicle.
- Repeat the programming and vehicle learning procedure carefully.
- Confirm compatibility of the key model (XNTO00EN/XNDS00EN) with your specific vehicle and VVDI device.
- Reduced Remote Range:
- Replace the battery with a fresh one.
- Check for environmental interference (e.g., strong radio signals, large metal objects).
- Vehicle Not Starting with Key:
- This indicates an issue with the transponder chip programming. Re-verify the transponder chip type and repeat the vehicle learning procedure.
- Physical Damage: If the key is physically damaged, it may require replacement.
