Xhorse continues to push the boundaries of automotive key programming with the release of a free 5C / 5D upgrade for the KEY TOOL PLUS. This update expands compatibility, improves workflow flexibility, and reinforces VVDI’s commitment to supporting the latest vehicle security technologies.

What’s New in the 5C / 5D Upgrade?
The new upgrade focuses on enhanced support for Volkswagen Group vehicles, including Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, and more. With this update, technicians can handle a wider range of smart key scenarios with greater confidence and efficiency.
5C Key Support
The KEY TOOL PLUS now supports VVDI smart keys and original keys for 5C systems, whether they are locked or unlocked. This gives locksmiths more flexibility when working with different key conditions and customer situations.
5D Key Support
For 5D systems, the tool currently supports original keys only. VVDI has indicated continued development in this area, making this a solid foundation for future enhancements.
Advanced Reading Options with KEY TOOL PLUS
Another major highlight of the upgrade is continued support for KEY TOOL PLUS soldered reading. This allows advanced users to work directly with supported modules when required.
VVDI has also confirmed that solder-free adapter reading is on the roadmap and will be supported soon—an exciting improvement that will further streamline complex jobs and reduce risk during data extraction.
