The Xhorse Condor XC-Twins (XCMT01GL) is a high-performance, dual-cutter automatic Key Cutting Machine featuring AI image recognition. Designed for automotive locksmiths, it replaces manual database searches with a faster, automated probing and camera-based identification system. After testing on a 2024 Toyota RAV4, the AI proved both accurate and significantly more efficient than traditional methods.

Performance Test: 2024 Toyota RAV4
The standout feature of the Condor XC-Twins is the AI Recognition mode, which aims to replace the manual “Make/Model/Year” search.
- The AI Process: The machine uses a combination of the physical probe and multiple camera images to identify the key profile.
- Speed & Ease: The AI method is notably simpler and faster than traditional database navigation.
- Accuracy vs. Tradition: The AI suggested using the M5 Clamp Side A.
- The traditional database suggested M5 Clamp Side B.
- Result: Both methods produced functional keys that opened and closed the vehicle normally.
Technical Observations
- Cutting Depth: While the AI-cut key visually appeared slightly deep, it functioned perfectly in the door lock.
- Setup Tip: Install the cutters before mounting the clamps to ensure easier access with the driver tool.
- Software: The interface allows for quick account login/creation and uses a 4-digit PIN for security.
