Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus and Autel IM508 Comparison

 Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus and Autel IM508 key programmer which one better??

Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus vs Autel IM508

Not one tool on the market can do all cars, Key tool plus is better for VAG and Mercedes, IM508 with xp400 pro also has basic diagnostics and it can reset other modules that key tool plus doesn’t.

VVDI PAD does BMW, Mercedes and VAG group better than Autel, it can also control key cutter and program remotes. Autel have slightly better coverage on Renault, Volvo and Opel/Vauxhall

Autel now removed Toyota AKL immo reset function in the North American region. Xhorse is not affected.

Key Tool Plus has no subscription and free update but will pay for newer functions like mqb and bmw motorcycles – only buy if you need.  IM508 usually gets 2 year subscription.

Autel UI is better – xhorse is easier and doesn’t need a separate xp400/xp400 pro for simple eeprom and mcu work.

key tool plus pad is better at mqb and let’s you clone original IDs which Autel won’t do.

Xhorse also has solder free adapters for BCM CEM etc while Autel does not.

No one is better than the other. You need two devices, if one doesn’t work the other will work.  Both combined will cover 98% of the market.
