Tips to Clone Audi A3 MQB Cluster with Xhorse

 Is it possible to clone original read from audi A3 2013 MQB cluster to another cluster with exact same MCI D70F3537. Original cluster dead after full read. I have already calculated sync data for dealer key preparation. All keys lost originally.

But after cluster read. And attempt to reset cluster didn’t work. I just need to confirm if it is possible to take original read over to donor cluster.

Original cluster part number is 8V0920870. 0570. H24
Donor cluster part number is 8v0920870G. 2220. H03.

Both cluster is 2013 year model. And both for audi car.

Will it be possible to clone D70F3537 from one to another directly on bench using Xhorse multi prog with MQB adapter?

Feedback:

If the sw and hw are the same then it is possible.

I used sync data to prepare dealer key successfully.
Select dashboard replace. Xhorse Vvdi2 asked for old dash encrypted data and new dash encrypted data. Calculated another file to be written with multi prog or vvdi prog. File written successfully. All info from old dash into new dash. Prepared dealer key with sync data. Used immo data selection to learn key successfully.
Car started and removed coded automatically when key learned.

Xhorse Multi Prog Repair BMW FRM Module Automatically

 BMW / MINI

Its the season of flat batteries and if you guys ever find a customer come in with the complaint similar to.
“Ever since I jump started my car the windows don’t work” or something electrical has stopped working.
What happens is the FRM (footwell) module corrupts the software after a low voltage scenario.

The eeprom jumps into the Dflash and we cannot communicate with the module afterwards leaving us facing the prospect of buying a new module plus programming.
There is another way to resolve the problem. We can connect to the board directly and Re-align the software which Re populates the eeprom side of the software restoring its ability to communicate and work again.

Xhorse Multi Prog detects the misaligned partitions. multiprog has a feature it will do it automatically. Vvdi prog will read and write but not fix it automatically.

You can also buy a clip for the board saves the soldering, saves loads of time.

Soldering is easy on these though.

How to Cut Fiat SIP22 Key using Xhorse Condor II

 Hey everyone, let’s walk through cutting a Fiat SIP22 blade using the Xhorse Key Cutting Machine – the Condor Mini Plus II. This key is used in most Fiats from around 2005 onward, so it’s something you’ll see often.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Select the Key Profile
   On the CondorII, go to:
   Automotive → Brand/model → Fiat → Fiat 500 → SIP22.

2. Clamp the Original Key
   Use the M5-B Clamp and align the key shoulder. Make sure it sits flat and secure.

3. Decode the Key
   Tap “Decode Key” on the screen. The machine reads the cuts-quick and accurate.

4. Load the Blank
   Insert your new SIP22 blankthe same way. Clamp it tight.

5. Cut the Key
   Hit “Start Cutting” with default settings. The machine does the rest. Brush off the swarf after-important for conductivity!

6. Flip and Repeat
   Turn the key over and cut the other side. Same process.

7. Test the Key
   Once cut and cleaned, test it in the vehicle. Works like a charm!

My Take on the Xhorse Condor II:
This machine is a game-changer. It’s fast, easy to use, and super reliable-perfect for automotive keys like the SIP22. If you’re a locksmith looking for a no-fuss, efficient cutter, I highly recommend it.

How to Cut Schlage Key Blank with Xhorse Dolphin XP005

 Question:

Can a SC1 blank be cut by numbers with the Xhorse dolphin xp005 key cutting machine? Have the M4 clamp. But I only have numbers to work with. No original keys.

Solution:

Yes, Xhorse Dolphin will cut SC1 household key blank by numbers.

The 10 depths are 0-9 for a sc1. On the dolphin you can’t use 0. This means that you must input all 1 digit higher…a 0 is inputted as a 1….1=2…so on…9=10
Input these screen shots under custom key data and this should work for you. Just when put key on m4 clamp, align shoulder to the clamp. Do not use the spacer.

Just search for depth and space charts and convert to mm if it’s in inches..and plug values in.

You can also buy the key profile or do it yourself. Like best keys, sch, kw, y11, y12, and some more.
