VVDI2 and VVDI PROG finish programming Porsche key.

Done!

Why to buy VVDI2 and VVDI PROG together? Definitely yes in some situations. Reasons are listed here...  Incl. a case to verify this necessity.
 
First, clarify both functions.
Xhorse VVDI2 is a comprehensive OBD tool used for diagnose and programming (ecu programming and auto key programming).
VVDI Prog usually works fine as an car ECU programmer.

So, vvdi 2 and vvdi prog only share one function: ecu programming.
 
Second, is it necessary to buy vvdi2 & vvdi prog together?
Sometimes yes, definitely!
As for programming a key to some cars, esp. those ECUs that a vvdi2 doesn’t support, we have to use a vvdi programmer to read ecu data first, then use vvdi2 to program a key, e.g. Porsche BCM-2M25J, BMW CAS4+ 5M48H, etc.
