Tips to Cut PSA HU83 Key with Xhorse Dolphin XP005

 Problem:

When I tried to cut a Citroen Jumpy key with a HU83 blade in my Xhorse Dolphin XP005, I had this problem. It fit properly in the door lock, but not in the ignition cylinder. Afterwards, I looked at the detail in the attached photo. Could this be the reason why the key didn’t fit properly?

Solution:

The end of the key likely isn’t actually cut properly. If you held the original and new key up together they would be slightly different at the tips/last bitting. Use universal duplication to cut HU83 with extra bitting.
Other people with the same issue. So as long as the machine is calibrated right, it decoded it properly, and the key actually was HU83 and not VA2, then it will just be that same bug, it’s nothing you’ve done wrong apart from maybe not comparing the keys after you cut them.

 

We’ve experienced the same problem, and the issue lies not with the cut, but with the key not passing dust lid you need to file tip of the key narrow to pass it. Just done the same hu83 for 308 today, file tip a bit and it will work.
