Xhorse Garage Remote User Manual

This manual provides instructions for the Xhorse Garage Remote, a device designed for generating and cloning garage door remotes. It supports switching between 20 fixed frequencies without a KEY TOOL and includes a data recovery function for cleared codes. The remote can be used with VVDI KEY TOOL series tools for generation and copying, or with traditional copying methods.

1. Clear Code Function

Identifying Clear Code Status: If the remote indicator light flashes once and then quickly extinguishes when any button is pressed and held, the remote is in clear code status.

How to Clear Codes:

  1. Simultaneously press and hold the 'Open' and 'Close' buttons on the upper row. When the indicator light turns on, continue holding until it extinguishes, then release.
  2. Next, press and hold the 'Stop' button. When the indicator light turns on, continue holding until it extinguishes to complete the clear code operation.

2. Remote Cloning Function

Precautions Before Cloning:

How to Clone:

  1. Press and hold the desired function button on the cleared garage sub-remote. The remote will enter cloning mode. Keep the button pressed.
  2. Bring the original garage door remote close to the sub-remote. Simultaneously press and hold the corresponding function button on the original remote. When the sub-remote's indicator light turns on, the function button has been successfully cloned.
  3. Repeat the process for all desired function buttons to complete the cloning.

3. Frequency Switching Function

Purpose of Frequency Switching: Garage door remote frequencies vary by manufacturer and region. If the frequencies do not match, cloning may lead to non-functional buttons or reduced range. The VVDI garage sub-remote supports switching between 20 frequency points.

How to Switch Frequency Points:

  1. Enter Frequency Point Switching Mode: Simultaneously press and hold the 'Lock' and 'Stop' buttons. The indicator light will turn on. Continue holding until the light extinguishes, then release.
  2. Switch Frequency Points: Press the 'Open' button. Each press will cause the indicator light to flash once. The number of presses corresponds to the selected frequency point in the frequency point comparison table.
  3. View Selected Frequency Point: After selecting a frequency point, release all buttons. Wait 5 seconds, and the indicator light will flash a number of times corresponding to the selected frequency point in the table.
  4. Exit Frequency Point Switching Mode: Once the indicator light stops flashing, immediately press and hold the 'Lock' and 'Stop' buttons. The indicator light will turn on. Continue holding until the light extinguishes, then release to complete the frequency switch.

Switching to Arbitrary Frequency Points: For frequencies not listed in the table, use the remote copying function of VVDI KEY TOOL, VVDI MINI KEYTOOL, KEYTOOL MAX, or KEYTOOL PLUS to copy original remote data and modify it to the desired frequency before writing it to the sub-remote. For example, to copy a 320.5MHz garage remote using KEYTOOL MAX:

  1. Enter the fixed code remote copy interface on KEYTOOL MAX and select the 320 frequency range.
  2. Follow the device prompts to press the button on the original key.
  3. Enter the desired frequency for modification.
  4. Copy the key data. If chasing code, use the regeneration function to generate and then match.

Frequency Point Table:

Frequency Point Button Presses Frequency Point Button Presses
315.00 1 310.00 12
350.00 2 311.00 13
430.00 3 313.00 14
431.00 4 315.50 15
432.00 5 330.00 16
433.00 6 350.05 17
433.82 7 370.00 18
433.92 8 430.50 19
434.00 9 433.70 20
434.42 10
304.00 11

Note: After generating a garage sub-remote using VVDI KEY TOOL series devices (Remote Copy -> Xhorse Garage Sub-remote Copy Program), you can customize the frequency (Special Function -> VVDI Sub-remote Function -> Garage Sub-remote Customization).

4. Rolling Code ID Regeneration Function

When to Use Rolling Code ID Regeneration: If the cloned garage sub-remote exhibits code chasing behavior, it can be resolved by performing rolling code ID regeneration and then matching.

How to Use Rolling Code ID Regeneration:

  1. Enter Rolling Code ID Regeneration Mode: Simultaneously press and hold the 'Open' and 'Lock' buttons on the left side of the sub-remote. The indicator light will turn on. Continue holding until the light extinguishes.
  2. Rolling Code ID Regeneration: Release the 'Open' and 'Lock' buttons. Then, press and hold the 'Stop' button. The indicator light will turn on. Continue holding until the light extinguishes to complete the regeneration.
    Note: The garage door remote regenerated with rolling code ID will require re-learning and matching. Locate the learning button on the garage door main control box and follow the manufacturer's instructions for learning and matching.

5. Data Recovery Function

When to Use Data Recovery: This function can be used to restore the garage sub-remote to its previous remote data if it was accidentally cleared.

How to Recover Data: Simultaneously press and hold the 'Close' and 'Stop' buttons on the right side for approximately 3 seconds. The remote indicator light will turn on, indicating data recovery is complete.

6. Supplementary Notes

The garage sub-remote comes with a default copy program. The five functions described above are part of this copy program. If a garage door remote program is generated using a device, the sub-remote's copy program will be replaced. The copy program function can be restored by writing the copy program back to the garage sub-remote using the device.
