I’m going to show how to use Xhorse Dolphin XP005L + Key Reader to cut a new Audi A6 HU66 key. Firstly you should have a working key for reading key bitting codes. Let’s get to start.
Step1. Read Bitting Codes
Optical identification >> Audi >> A6 >> HU66 >> OK >> Identification >> Identification
Identification successful.
Key biting codes: 11334242
Press “To cut” to complete.
Step2. Cut Key
*It’s suggested to do height calibration before cutting.
Device information >> Height calibration >> Start
Put the key to be cut on M5 clamp side B position 0, lock the knob.
Close the protective cover to prevent the cutting iron filings from flying around.
Cutting key >> Continue
Dolphin XP005L machine starts cutting…
Clean up debris after cutting completed.
Turn the key over and continue to cut the other side.
Continue cutting…
Wait until finished.
Take out the key to check cutting effect, it’s same as the working key.
It can successfully open lock as well.
Well done.
Some users reported that Xhorse Dolphin XP005/XP005L had bugs when cutting VA2/VA6 key blanks in the last update.
The problem was solved by the last update. V1.7.4 came out and fix the va6 issue.
Update the firmware to 1.7.4 or Dolphin machine and update also the Xhorse app.
Feedback:
Just cut a VA6 I decoded the key Q-H then cut as normal.
so I tried again with the same key but this time I noticed a new item in the menu just before you click cut (See Photo)
I ticked this and cut the key again (you have to tick it on both cuts)
Put it in the lock and it worked.
on the 2nd cut it took a fraction more off one side and the back end of the key
But it worked in the lock.
Problem:
I installed the Xhorse dolphin xp005 latest version 1.7.2 and after a day it got error 80. and after that it didn’t boot.
Dolphin xp005 no longer finds me when I connect it to USB. nor does the BIOS appear on the display when I connect it to USB.
i managed to install again i booted. but I can’t make keys with it because Error 80 appears. Any solution?
Solution:
Reinstall Dolphin driver
Update firmware via Upgrade kit.
Try several times.
If all not working, there is something wrong with the dolphin mainboard.
Get the mainboard replaced.
How to progress keys using the Xhorse Dolphin XP005 cut by single-bitting function? Here’s going to use Nissan lock as an example. I’ve got 8 cuts from the door but without first two positions.
When to use Cut By Single-Bitting?
If you have a key that only needs to correct one or two of these positions, then this function can come in handy. Since I only have the blank key, I’ll cut it first and then correct the first 2 positions.
Cutting by bitting >> DA34 10 Bitting >> OK
Enter in our known cuts here: ?? 32232432
Find bitting >> Nissan
There are 4 possibilities, so I’m just going to select the first one: 1232232432
Cut key >> Continue
Xhorse Dolphin starts working…
We can test it once done.
But if it doesn’t work for the lock, that’s when we can use the function.
How to use Cut By Single-Bitting?
There are 2 ways can find the function:
Method 1. Cut after Find Bitting
Reinstall the same key back to Xhorse Dolphin clamp.
Re-select the second option: 2332232432
Click “Cut by single-bitting”.
Here we can just select the first cut and the second cut.
Click “Cutting”.
Dolphin XP005 will cut key faster in this way.
Method 2. Cut Directly in Key Option
This is how to use cut by single-bitting function to improve your work on Xhorse Key Cutting Machine.
To cut a Hyundai Sonata HY22 with Xhorse Key Cutting Machine when all keys lost, you’ll need to get its key code at first. After successfully reading out bittings with LISHI tool, I’ve got the key code K1635. Now, it’s up to Xhorse to do the rest!
This time I’m going to use Xhorse Dolphin XP005 to finish the job. It’s surely workable if you have a newer Dolphin 2 as well.
Procedure
All key lost >> Hyundai >> Enter key code: K1635 >> HY22
It tells to use M5 clamp on B side, tip align position line 2.
Put a key blank to fix on M5 clamp.
Cut key >> Cut
Dolphin XP005 will start cutting directly…
Wait processing until 100%.
After one-side cutting was finished, turn over the key to cut the other side.
Cut key >> Cut
All we have to do is just waiting and let it go.
Once cutting finished, take out the key for a test.
It actually works and works perfectly.
Done.
