Both Xhorse and KYDZ released MQB48 adapter for VAG MQB48 NEC35XX immo data collection. With these adapters, we don’t need to disassemble the instrument but only the key. With low risk, simple operation, it can add keys for most MQB48 keys.
Which MQB48 adapter is better?
Pros:
No token or points to collect data.
Large coverage. Supports VDO, NEC35XX, JCI RH850 clusters. Prox, bladed, digital cluster.
Don’t need to remove cluster to read data.
More stable, better support and has more positive feedback.
will generate MQB remote using xhorse key tool and MQB remote.
Cons:
Need to replace an enhanced chip to use MQB48 function (check instruction here, but don’t need to switch back to use MLB function again).
MLB Tool only collects data, you need key tool plus or vvdi2 to generate dealer key and learn key.
Cannot directly show cs, pin code. need to load file to key tool plus or vvdi2 to show cs and pin.
Need to remove just 1 capacitor and solder back.
KYDZ MQB48 Adapter:
Pros:
Don’t need to modify hardware to use the mqb48 adapter.
It will show CS and pin.
No need to remove capacitor on key board.
Cons:
It is separate hardware. To collect data for MLB and MQB48, you need 2 separate hardware adapters. while Xhorse just 1 device.
Have to pay 10-15 dollars for the token. Extra $10-15 per token after used up.
Generate MLB dealer key with MLB tool, then program key with its MQB programmer.
Inmodata 16 byte from the xhorse key does not ask you token, stick with xhorse.
