Problem:
My friend has problems with the Xhorse dolphin xp005 key cutting machine. It’s not cutting b119 keys correctly. They look identical but only turn on door and not ignition.
Here are possible solutions:
1. Do a recalibrating. Recalibration should handle it,
Go into the app and calibrate it. Just did a couple b119 keys and it’s doing fine. Usually calibrate Dolphin once a month to stay on the safe side.
2. Make sure the original key if decoding from it with the machine that the key blade is clean of any dirt or debris this can cause a issue with improper read which results in only working one lock and not another.
3. Try universal duplication.
4. Upgrade to m5 clamp.
User Feedback:
Did recalibration. No luck. Change M5 clamp and M5 clamp worked.
Problem:
Anyone have problems with your machine decoding B106 key blank or any gm keys including old gm single side cut.? I can’t get my Triton or Xhorse Dolphin XP005 to decode them accurately? If I cut by code they work every time just won’t decode them. Any solution?
Possible solutions:
1. When can’t get Xhorse dolphin to decode something use the universal duplicator function to cut a key.
2. If the tip is worn they will read improper. You eyeball them and put it in fill to verify that it’s a good code.
3. Sight read. Decode with your eyes.
4. Get good at eyeballing the cuts on the key. B106 is easy. If the cut goes below the milling groove, then it’s a 5. if its at the milling groove, but doesn’t cut into it, it’s a 4. The rest you can figure out by how high or low they are relative to each other. You’re only really sight-reading 3 different depths at that point. Hold a blank key behind the worn out key if it helps you. If that still doesn’t help, buy a Lishi and decode the door lock to figure out over half of the cuts and sight-read the rest off of the blade. Use cuts-to-code software if you want to verify a valid cut combination.
If all of that fails, get the ignition to turn over once more. Usually the worn key just needs to be pulled out a tad, because the tip is worn down and give it the ol’ GM jiggle. Then pull the ignition and read the code or read the wafers inside.
Since I’ve used the ZD24R LISHI to pick and decode a Can-Am Spyder 3-wheel motocycle ignition, so next I’m going to cut the key with Xhorse Dolphin XP005 by bitting. In case to wreck a pretty expensive key blank, I would try X270 TMC1 key for a test at first. The bitting codes decoded by LISHI is 232234.
Cut by bitting >> Silca – ZD24R >> ZD24R, 6 bitting, 770*2350
M1 clamp Shoulder align.
This type recommend use 1.5mm to cut.
Press “OK”.
Input the bitting codes: 232234
Put and fix the key on M1 clamp according to prompts.
Cut key >> Cut
Dolphin XP005 machine starts cutting automatically.
Please wait…
Get the key out when cutting completed.
It’s working perfectly in ignition.
It should be noted in particular here this Can-Am ignition is from 2011 or 2012, it’s wide open and easy to get the keyway. The key can work with no problem at all.
But some of the newer ones starting like 2019/2020/2021, this black bezel here that actually covers most of this ring. So either have to pop that off or what I like to do is just to cut the head of key off.
When you try to put the key in, it stops on the bow of the key and it won’t go all the way in. So you may think your cuts are wrong. Just cut the whole head of key off, test it and make sure it’s working here before cutting.
This is how to cut ZD24R key with Dolphin successfully, you may use the newer Dolphin II Key Cutting Machine to do the job as well.
