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.
Xhorse released an update on the app that users can now use the M5 Clamp, which is a combination of M1 and M2 clamp on the Dolphin XP005. So I went on www.vvdishop.com and for about $249 dollars. I got a clamp. I’m gonna unbox it here.
I’ll put the M5 clamp on the machine to try it out. I do have to update my firmware and Xhorse app for this function. In terms of M5 clamp type, vacuum seal it is to keep it fresh, I guess.
The cool thing about M5 clamp is that I don’t have to keep swapping them. Just open it all the way up and rotate it over to the B side, which is like the M2 clamp. You don’t need to swap the clamp back, which is really nice if you ever doing a lot of keys in one place.
So I’m going to go ahead and loosen out slide off the M1 clamp. Do a little house cleaning , then install the M5 clamp. Crank it down, power on the machine. To be sure, M5 clamp doesn’t need a calibration, but it needs to be set up.
Open app, connect to Xhorse Dolphin:
Device information >> Cutting setting >> Clamp >> M5 >> Set parameters
Setting parameter success.
Following I’m going to cut a Toyota Prius TOY48 key for a test.
All keys lost >> Toyota >> Inter key code: 46081 >> TOY48
It says to use M5 clamp B side, tip align line 2.
I have a Dolphin 2 as well. The knob is actually different. But as long as it works, it doesn’t really matter. After tightening the key blank, here we go.
OK >> Cut key >> Cut
The Dolphin starts cutting…
After finishing, flop it around to cut the second side.
Key cutting is now completed.
Take out the key to test if it works.
Alright, key goes in, and it turns perfectly. There’s no calibration here but M5 clamp can actually index the key and cut by code well.
This is the M5 clamp on Xhorse Dolphin XP005 key cutting test review.
Here are the tips to cut shoulder stop keys on the Xhorse Condor or Dolphin key cutting machines.
Definitely easier to use it than to eyeball it. We are going to show you how to use the shoulder stop with it.
The shoulder stop has a little lip on it and that little lip actually fits into that groove and that actually acts as your shoulder stop.
We are doing a duplication for the bike.
Let’s grab the vvdi key tool max. We are already connected.
Go to All Keys Lost->Yamaha, put code A7354 and you need the internet to actually use the code search on it.
Pulls it up tells us M1 clamp shoulder align and 2 4 3 1 3 1 4 so let’s the correct bitting on there.
Our jaw clamped in there, grab the shoulder stop here.
Fit it into a little groove here, you just simply slide the key and push the shoulder stop up.
You just push the key until you know hit the shoulder stop.
Clamp it in it just takes the guesswork out of it here you don’t have to eyeball it.
basically, you’re going to do it again as you can see so you got your shoulder stop in the groove here and you just slide the key until it until it hits the shoulder stop and then just clamp it
in and then i’m going to put this back on my little magnet up here tightens my grub screw and these magnets on top of the machine work really really well.
Then now we’re all ready to cut the key here. Just go ahead and uh hit cutting key. The machine will do its thing here.
We got the key, we’ll just loosen the grub screw here pull the key out and turn on the bike.
The key works perfectly.
Since Xhorse announced the M5 Clamp has already been compatible with old Dolphin XP005 & Condor XC-Mini Plus key cutting machine, I’m gonna have a try today. Before that, please make sure your software and firmware were upgraded to the latest version.
The M5 clamp allows users to cut high security and edge cut using the same clamp by rotating from A to B side. No more to disassemble M1 or M2 clamp again and again.
Procedure
The first thing we need to do is to install the M5 clamp on Dolphin XP005.
Device information >> Cutting setting >> Selected M5 clamp
All key lost >> Lexus >> Enter lock code: 44137
As we can see, it’s telling to use the M5 clamp B side, tip align Align line 2.
Rotate M5 clamp to B side, then install a key blank firmly.
Start cutting key…
The Xhorse Dolphin can work as usual.
After successfully cutting 2-sides, take out the Lexus key for a test.
It can actually open the lock.
As expected, the Dolphin 1 can work with M5 clamp without problems! It should also perfectly do with other Xhorse Key Cutting Machines as it claimed.
