✅ Conclusion
Both Key Tool Plus and Key Tool MIDI are powerful tools from Xhorse, tailored to different user needs:
- VVDI Key Tool Plus is a comprehensive all-in-one solution, ideal for professional locksmiths and workshops. It supports full IMMO programming, advanced module programming (IMMO, ECU, Cluster, etc.), and complete diagnostic and remote functions — all without needing extra adapters for most tasks.
- VVDI Key Tool MIDI is a budget-friendly alternative that still covers a wide range of vehicles and functions.
But it cannot support Mercedes-Benz FBS3 IMMO programming, IMMO module, instrument cluster module, transmission module and ECU module, and requires external programmers or adapters for some models. It delivers excellent value for money and is suitable for mobile locksmiths or technicians who mainly focus on common vehicle models.
✅Choose Key Tool Plus if you want maximum functionality with fewer add-ons.
✅Choose Key Tool MIDI if you’re looking for a solid, cost-effective tool with upgrade potential.
