1. KD-X6 vs. KD-X4

  • Cover all KD-X4 functions

KD-X6 Professional Version includes all the core functions of KD-X4 while adding several new capabilities for professional locksmiths.

  • Standalone Operation

Unlike the previous workflow, KD-X6 can operate independently without a PC or mobile phone. This allows locksmiths to perform supported key programming and IMMO operations directly from the device.

  • Built-In DoIP

DoIP is integrated into KD-X6, providing direct support for compatible vehicles without requiring a separate DoIP adapter.

  • Built-In MLB and MQB48 Functions

KD-X6 integrates the KD-MP MLB and MQB48 functions into the main device. Users no longer need a separate KD-MP unit for supported MLB and MQB48 key operations.

  • Mercedes-Benz FBS3 Support

KD-X6 supports Mercedes-Benz FBS3 Add Key and All Keys Lost (AKL) functions for supported vehicles. Support for FBS4 and FBS5 is currently under development.

  • Cloud-C Remote Function

KD-X6 also supports the Cloud-C remote function, adding cloud-based remote capabilities to its range of key programming functions.

2. KEYDIY KD-X6 Standard Version vs. Full Version
KD-X6 key programmer is available in two configurations: Standard Version and Professional/Full Version 

Both versions use the same KD-X6 platform, but they differ in how advanced functions are activated and which accessories are included.

The Standard Version provides the core KD-X6 functions for everyday key programming and IMMO work. Some advanced functions are optional and require additional KD Coins, activation fees, or specific accessories.

This configuration can be a practical choice for locksmiths who only occasionally need advanced programming functions.

 

The Professional/Full Version is designed for users who need broader coverage. It includes the advanced software functions without separate activation costs, according to the supported function package.

This version also comes with additional hardware that would otherwise need to be purchased separately with the Standard Version.
