Xhorse Dolphin XP005 Cut Lexus TOY48 with M5 Clamp

 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

  1. Installation

The first thing we need to do is to install the M5 clamp on Dolphin XP005.

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.

If you break probes when using the universal key dulpication function, it is usually user fault.

The probe works by electrical signal. when the metal probe touched the metal key an electrical signal is passed from probe to key, and the probe stops, if the probe does not stop and breaks then the electrical signal did NOT transfer from probe to key. CLEAN YOUR KEYS WITH A WIRE BRUSH!!!
You can put anything metal in the clamp and the probe will stop when it touches it. UNLESS ITS DIRTY!!
so clean the key with a wire brush every single time you decode a key, period!! A $2 wire brush will save u time, money, aggravation.
You need to Clean the probe too. they tend to get a little corrosion forming from moisture. so take care of the machine and you won’t have any issues.
