This comprehensive range of KEYDIY remotes allows locksmiths and automotive professionals to address a wide variety of key programming and replacement needs.
Xhorse has its remotes very well organised. This makes finding remotes for a vehicle and its generation simpler. The super chip/remote enables wide chip coverage.
KeyDIY is still excellent value, it can generate some remotes not supported on Xhorse (e.g., Alfa, Jaguar, VW).
Better keep both Xhorse and KeyDIY, in case one does a remote that another couldn’t do. They have their own pros and cons. KeyDIY has extensive coverage of remotes. They usually cost way cheaper than original remotes. It is good to back a cloning/chip generation backup tool when the server goes down.
No single tool covers all scenarios. Many locksmiths recommend owning both Xhorse and KeyDIY devices to maximize vehicle coverage, as each supports remotes the other may not.
