Dolphin XP005 FW 1.4.9 HU83 Blade: works fine
I tried hu83 blade with Xhorse Dolphin XP 005 key cutting machine firmware version 1.4.9 , use 1.5mm cutter, cut 2 type
, hu83 , hu83 extra, both fine.
If you made of the issue
with HU83 cutting ( it's the same using 1.5mm and 2mm cutter), please do full
recalibration of machine first, after that the issue will be resolved.
Renault is
for Megane 2 , Laguna 2 ...
work fine .
VA6 Renault
& PSA works
fine without problem, I use lishi va6 4 lifters, when I
copy I use universal menu, never let me down or manually micro adjust menu . (
or manually copy with other fastest tool ).
The VA6
problem is with cuts 1234Q. If you convert your code to cut on the 5678H side
of the track they look correct.
2012 Clio 3 AKL, lishi decode from door 477743.
Megane 4 done.
Peugeot Partner done
Clio 3 done
Peugeot 508 done.
OK for decode Megane 2 & Laguna 2 , OK
for AKL Clio 3 Laguna 3 Clio 4 Kangoo 2
Megane 2 2008 with Keycard.
Urgence blade, copy is ok under: Renault Laguna.
AKL clio 4 card using lishi laguna 3. And cut key by Dolphin
XP005 all good. In database I have use: renault laguna after 2000.
In my experience, the Dolphin is first
class on HU58, both decoding and cutting.
It cuts a really nice key. Best machine I've had for HU58. I haven't updated
the firmware since I got it, though.
I cut
mostly VAG, BMW, Mercedes keys, OPEL ,
FIAT , Nissan , Dacia, Yamaha ... work fine.
AKL
function :
- BMW cutting by CAS code OK
- Yamaha FZ1 cutting by code OK
Decode & cut OK : NE72 , VAC102
, PSA VA2 , HU83 , SIP22 , NSN14 , YH35R , 2009-Renault emergency blade ...
Lot of functions available only if tool are connected
to APP ; decode by Photo , AKL by dealer code ...
Can correct one biting before or after cut ( good for SIP22 using first biting not available in door barrel)
I cut 100 key / months , work fine !
I use Dolphin xp05 only for very used keys , AKL , CAS2-3 code , label factory code ....
( Fiat 500 AKL : xp05 + Lonsdor = 5 minutes = no stress ).
Dolphin success to Decode & CUT Dacia HU136TE & HU136
Jaguar TBE1 8
cut tibbe.
To cut correct, a the nr 2, can be made turning the FO21 clamp to pos 2, and a
little bit deaper cut. This might not have the exact angle, but will be better
then choosing either a 2 or 3 cut. This should be possible with the xhorse
software.
Using HU64-2
option for Mercedes
, also if car is before 2010 (which should be HU64). This works for me.

Dolphin XP005 Using tips:
1st Question:
why Renault have 5 deep when Lishi laguna3 have only 4 deep.
Tip: You have old lishi like me. Read
between the lines and will work.
2nd Question:
Nsn14
Bad decoding and so bad Cuting.
Tip: used keys need manual
adjust , your key is totaly destroyed by neiman ; 2-3-1-3-3-2-3-1-2-4
test decode by photo in this kind of
key
Please use Lishi or eyeball.
A bad decoding, always gives you a deeper
cut, not a higher!
This will tell you that it is a conductivity problem.!
And it only snaps the probe, if the conductivity is bad!
Always scrape key edge, before decoding!
A any edge peace of metal i can find, to drag along the edges.
And i have a copper brush, to clean track keys.
Brush and scrape, the inner track, and especcialy the end stop of the key
track.
And the key shoulder that is clamped, needs to be clean. (with regular keys,
the small inbus screw marks the blade, so that ensures key to clamp
conductivity)
Takes 30seconds to clean the key, changing probes takes longer.
I still decode some, with the machine, and always check by eye.
After machine decoding, place key before screen, so it allignes, and you will
see what sticks out or is missing.
3rd
question: It won't decode JLR HU101 emergency blades. Material must not be
conductive. It just crashes into the tip and snaps the probe.
Tip:
SIMPLY USE PHOTO TO DECODE , work fine for plastic key & other no
conductive keys .
4th
Tip: you do dirty key, you can damage tracer for example every minute
I always wire brush my keys before inserting
Or if you forget to shave the outside of
the aluminum keys to get off the oxide layer say on a jaguar key
or a plastic key if you dont know how to
work around them
Must be smarter than the machine
These things will do some silly shit if you
let them
Xhorse Dolphin XP005 Failure List:
- Clio 3 , Clio 4 Megane 4 , C4 II , DS3
.... I use defu for copy
- Personally I use automatic key cutting
only for AKL & DEFU-368 for duplicate in 30 seconds / side !
......
