Question:
I accidentally unbounded the Dolphin XP005L key cutting machine from the Xhorse App. When I try to combine it again, it does not show a QR scan to combine with the Xhorse App. Do you have any idea?
Solution:
In Xhorse App, go to Dolphin App- Device Info.
In Key cutting menu, press Combine Device to combine XP005L with Xhorse App.
Here comes the solution to Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus II error code 6. Hope it helps if the same error occurs.
Solution:
When decoding or cutting keys by Condor 2, Error Code 6 indicates abnormal conductivity in the probe or cutter.
Follow the step-by-step guide below to solve it.
Step 1: Conductivity Test
Perform a conductivity measurement to diagnose the problem:
1.Navigate to Settings > Machine Test > Electrical Conductivity Measurement.
2.Follow the on-screen prompts to connect either the probe or cutter (not both).
3.Start the test.
Step 2: Test Results
If both the probe and cutter light up green simultaneously:
This indicates a short circuit between the probe and cutter.
Step 3: Inspect for Iron Filings
Check for iron filings around the three screws above the probe.
Clean the area thoroughly to remove all debris.
Step 4: Reinstall Screws
If the problem persists, remove the three screws above the probe.
Clean the area around the hole to ensure no iron filings remain.
Reinstall the screws, but:
Do not overtighten, as this can damage the insulation plastic ring on the screws, causing a short circuit.
Step 5: Check Conductive Wires
Restart the test. If the probe green light turns on before connecting:
Inspect the conductive wires on the probe disk for damage.
Conclusion:
Retest conductivity using the Xhorse Condor XC Mini Plus II Key Cutting Machine’s test interface.
If the issue persists, consider replacing faulty components or contacting the manufacturer.
Question:
Where is the option for aluminium key in Xhorse dolphin xp005l I can’t find it having to use old dolphin XP005.
Answer:
You have to use the M2 clamp.
There is no such an option for the M5 clamp. The Plastic key/aluminium key function was removed.
Xhorse engineer solution:
For keys made of normal conductive materials, place them directly for cutting. For keys made of non-conductive materials, place the keys normally at the beginning of cutting. When the milling cutter starts to rotate, click Pause. After changing the key, click Continue Cutting.
1. Mount blank metal and machine to do a detection test.
2. After detection finishes, simple click PAUSE, swap blade.
3. Click RESUME, this is just 1 step before the spindle start, so no more blank key detection.
Customer simple solution.
Take a metal version key blank and I use the should stopper against the back edge of the clamp, so when u put the key blank in the clamp the tip of the key hits the shoulder stopper ur holding fast up against the clamp.
Then let the machine “located” the key. then as soon as it turns the motor on hit pause.
Then take the metal blank out and swap it with the aluminum blank. again using the shoulder stop to stop the tip of the key.
Then hit continue.
Some people do this for JLR hu101 keys
It works fork plastic keys (HU66) too.

As titled, how to distinguish VAG HU162T 8-Cut, 9-Cut and 10-Cut key blades? So we can properly cut keys using xhorse dolphin or condor key cutting machines.
The picture shows the side of the 3 keys.
From top to bottom, they are 8-cut, 9-cut and 10-cut.
The 8-cut (HU162T (8)) key is the easiest to distinguish.
It has only one fixed cut on the side and is straight.
The effective surface is on the top.
The 9-cut and 10-cut key can be quickly distinguished by the position of the effective surface.
The effective surface of 9-cut key is on the top, while the effective surface of 10-cut key is on the bottom.
It is also possible to distinguish them by the number of cuts.
9-cut key has 3-side cuts

Today I’m gonna cut a 2004 Mini Cooper HU92R mechanical key with Xhorse Dolphin II by bitting. Before that, you should get the bitting codes. Since I’ve used LISHI HU92 to decode the lock, let’s go straightly to cut the key.
Cut by bitting >> HU92R >> 820*4100 8 bitting, cut depth 1.25mm >> OK
Follow the prompt to install key blank.
Tip align 2nd position on M5 clamp side B.

Problem:
I try and cut a HU101 blade with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L. It asks to use 1.5mm cutter tho it cuts it perfectly with a 2.5mm cutter. Then I put a 1.5mm cutter in and it instantly Broke it in half. Any clue?
Solution:
Usually 2.5mm cutter works fine on HU101 blade. But not always work with 2.5mm depending on the key bitting if you have a deeper cut between 2 low cuts you see why the machine recommends the 1.5mm cutter.
If you break a cutter, you need to calibrate the cutter and let machine know you have changed sizes or it will break. When you change cutter you have to calibrate it again.
1mm diference machine doesn’t know about.
