In details…
Top 1: Xhorse Remote Key Programmer
This is the alternative when you don’t want to have lots of devices: a mini CN900 built in one box with a KD900 clone. Some of the owners talks about this tool as it were the Holy Grail, others try to sell it fast after its arrival. The fact is that the Handy Baby is more better than the mini CN, and the KD is good and stabile. I can imagine only one situation where it can be useful: if you have a lots of original factory remotes without cars, because this toy has a renewing pad kit for original remotes. The cloner works only with its own transponders, around $3.5 a piece, what equals the Handy Baby chip prices (except the blue/king chips); the remotes are also in the same price (around $10). It costs $220 with free shipping, another $320 for the remote renew kit, or together for $499.

XHorse Key tool Max & Mini OBD review:
Another key tool from Xhorse, if you want to buy something better than the mini key tool, this is your choice.
I hate when I am forced to buy something, even then when it is a good tool. XHorse did this with removing the normal Key Tool from the market, now you can make your choice between the mini and this if you want to have updates. This thing is a weird-housed Android tool with good functions, for example decoding keys from photo. This device makes the Smartphone unnecessary for the use of XHorse devices, it can do the key tool functions, can make the key cutters work and so on. The smart key side is strong enough, but if you need the normal remotes, then the X-2 is much more better choice: the Keydiy usual remotes are easier to get as the XHorse ones.
This device has an OBDII expander, the ‘Mini OBD’, what can read out special infos (pin codes) trough OBD, and help to program keys.
Its price is a bit less, than $500 with the Mini OBD from uobdii.com.

VVDI Mini Key Tool and Super chip reviews:
- a. I have Mini VVDI Key Tool and the “Superchips”. These superchips are wonderful, you can configure them as a lot of chips, you can erase them and reuse them for many many times. They are perfect for tests, for expensive or hard to find chips or if you need to do the job exactly in the moment when you don’t have the exact type of chip in stock. But you can use regular chips tool with Mini VVDI Key Tool.
- b.Mini VVDI Key Tool -Audi A3 ID48 cloning – customer said starting issues. Not confirmed myself.
Normally just code em in - c. Vvdi mini is better. You have a unic solution with superchip xt27 from xhorse.Can use it for all type transponderI use on toyota h, id48 96bits, Id46, 4c, 4d….Its best.Cloning h, id48…Renew remote, prépare remote, clone remote, test coil, test freq from remote…And all for 130usd!!!
Xhorse VVDI Key tool review:
This is the alternative answer of Xhorse to the Keydiy stuff. To be honest this programmable universal remote idea is so good as it could be, that’s why they made another type for the same task. The first thing is compared to the Keydiy X2, what’s the next generation tool of KD after Mini, 200 & 900 is the fact, that this revolver-looking toy has a big color display, and can be used without Smartphone and internet – however this abilities are usable too. The main advantage compared to a KD900 is the fact, that this tool can clone transponders, and renew used remotes too. Yes, this renewing option is strongly limited, but is much more than nothing, and can come very often handy: just get a new housing for the remote, and make money from the garbage. The transponder cloning is good from some pov it is better than Handy Baby and X2, because it has free G and H chip functions. You need only 2 types of transponders for cloning: CN3 & LKP02. As far you don’t try to clone ID48. This toy forces you to clone all ID48s as a 96 bit one via internet, and you know that this function isn’t for free…
Maybe it offers less type of remotes as the KD does, but covers the mostly needed models. Sadly they aren’t compatible with each others, so you have to decide between KD or VVDI stockings, but my answer to this problem was that I have only B01 type remotes in my car with this tool, and KD stuff in the shop.

Handy Baby 2: alternate Handy Baby
A must have key cloner, it adds more when comparing with Handy Baby
Handy Baby- discontinue producing
At the moment it is the best handheld cloner, what you can get. With the JMD key expansion it can save you with ease when you have to deal with VWs – even in AKL situations. It is not a wonder weapon, in practice it needs time for calculations (sometimes 45 mins), but in the meantime you can cut the key, also. Never tried with G-chips, so I can just tell you that it is said to be working. Has built-in batteries, and you can always charge it from your car – ideal tool to take with you. The special transponders are cheap enough to save you a lot of money compared to the RW4, and the G-chip authorization (if not included) $80, always with free shipping.
Update: They stopped selling the JMDD, JMD6, JMD8 chips, instead of ’em you can buy Blue or Red King Chips. The blue one is for everything except ID48 for the usual price, the red is for ID48 much expensive.

Keydiy KD-X2 review:
The next generation of the old KD900, another must have.
There’s a big question when you have to choose between the Key Tool Max and the X2. Both toys have their stronger and weaker sides, but I think they are cheap enough to have both of ’em. You need a smart phone or tablet to be able to use all the abilities of the tool, but that can’t be a big problem nowadays. As a stand-alone it is almost a bad joke, but your pov will change in that moment when you start the app. Chip cloning, remote making/cloning, factory remote renewal – these are the main functions of the toy. I think Keydiy KD-X2 remote renew reviews yes and no:
The price is not too high, you can get it in a starter package with 3 remotes, and from $15 you can get the sniffer.

Lonsdor KH100 review:
Bought this tool recently and copied id46 on cn3 successful after 3rd attempt. It needs to put the copied chip sticked to bottom edge of the coil. I was surprised how quick tool decoded the key and sniffed from ignition needs only put the key in without turning one time. Just to let you know I was tried to format copied cn3 to factory state and this tool has only one option to generate id46 blank and it’s in crypto mode. After generate cn3 tool recognized chip as 7935 !! I read this also by nd900 mini and this show me right data. I formatted by nd900 you can choose GM or blank and cn3 formatted as password mode become recognizable by KH100.

Mini CN900 review:
This one is the handheld version of the CN900, as the developers said with all of its abilities. Ok, this info comes from my dealer: the mini knows only 80% of the HB’s work tested on real cars. If you have handy baby you don’t need the cn900 mini.

ZedBull review:
Good tool, but overaged. I have the cheap Chinese version, and have downloaded the EFfI sw to be able to use all functions of it. Cheapest way to clone, but has its own limits, what are easy to reach with ID46 and 48 chips. Nothing to risk with its $35 price (mostly with free shipping), but don’t take it too serious.
Enjoy!
