Xhorse Keys - Hopefully everything you will need to know... I hope

There is so much more to Xhorse keys than my post on Autel keys. And there is so much more to key usability that can be said here but I am going to tell you what you need to stock 100 percent if you want to have complete coverage. I have found that you should stock the XE and XN series to have complete coverage other then the specific example that follows this sentence. (I say complete coverage for non-bladed keys... these two series & the odd ball below will cover all the cars)

There is absolutely no good information on Xhorse keys other then what I posted up in the picture above. I was looking for a key for a 2012 Ford Edge Ford 4D-63 80-bit key

from Xhorse as UHShardware.com lookup only showed pre-FCCID programmed keys from "keyless factory" that matched the vehicle. All my searches on the internet said to use the Super Chip for this application... well what about the rest of the key with the lock and unlock buttons? I guess I could use any of the above series of keys that had a flip key but that would require buying the blades separately which is inconvenient... although less inconvenient then having to stock multiple keys with preprogrammed FCCID's...

This key here you want to stock a lot of. The XM38 Toyota smart key (which is part of the XS series oddly). If you decide to listen to the advice listed here then you want to stock at least 4 of these keys. This is the one key that need because the Autel keys and the Autel tools do not support making this key for a variety of applications including the Toyota Venza. Not all key tools can do everything and not all keys will give you complete coverage. You need an Xhorse key tool and this key fob for a variety of applications Autel does not yet support. They also list an XM28 key as compatible in this application that is slightly cheaper but without thousands of dollars to spend on key inventory it is better to stock the XM38 for all applications.

Here is the link to a PDF I have found that is useful for determining what keys to use for what. It is the best I have come across so far.
