1. Wired Key(Red, XK series)
Its circuit board should be connected to VVDI Key Tool Plus/Key Tool Max/Mini Key Tool by Remote generate cable (only one generated in a wired way).

There is no chip, no VVDI Super Chip or battery inside but only a circuit board.
By it we can make a Hyundai flip key since Hyundai doesn’t need a chip, or a Subaru WRX key with a chip, or just generate remote function etc.

2. Wireless Key(Blue, XN series)
This has a built-in chip (not a vvdi super chip), no socket and battery.

Eg. Honda Civic 2009 by Key Tool Plus
Remote Program.
It’ll tell us which one to choose.

Then just generate the remote, and program the chip via OBD port.

3. Super Remote(Purple, XE series)
This has a built-in Super Chip, no battery, so we can clone chips on it when we have a working key.
Eg. Ford F-150 2011 by Key Tool Plus
Remote Program.

We need to generate the remote and the chip on board, because the remote doesn’t learn with the chip.
Path: Generate Transponder>>New 4D+ chip(80 bits)

Then the chip could be learned via OBD port.

4. Smart Remote(Orange, XS series)
Put a battery in and generate it, and learn it via OBD port.

5. Other Tips
If Xhorse Key Programmer says only wireless, it needs to be the blue package with a chip because it means there’s no on-board procedure to learn the remote.
If wired/wireless key, we can use a wired remote and install a chip to it or just program the remote for some vehicles, or use the Super Remote.
