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.

Device information >> Cutting setting >> Selected M5 clamp

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.

How to Cut Toyota TOY40 with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L

 YOU DO NOT NEED THE SHIM FOR THE Xhorse DOLPHIN XP-005L.

The new M5 clamp allows you to do it without it.
Cut By Bitting>TOY40>TOY 40 Remark: Emergency Key (One Sided Key)
You have to type the Bitting acquired by code. Choose between 4, 6 & 8 bitting

Cut Toyota TOY40 with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L 1

You can also do it under “Universal Duplication”, no issues at all

Cut Toyota TOY40 with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L 2

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.

Xhorse Key Cutters Review on Motorcycles

Here’s the clue.

Xhorse Condor and Dolphin key cutting machines are mainly fro car keys, but also have a few motorcycle and household keys are on database.

Xhorse Key Cutters Review on Motorcycles

 

The Xhorse key cutter are the cheapest it been the most reliable and most accurate key cutting machine, it also boots the quickest and has done 99% of the keys people need.

In Condor mini plus has some Motorcycle data included. So does Dolphin XP005XP005L and Condor II.

 

You can use universal duplicate to duplicate a motorcycle key. You can also create custom key data.

You can create custom bitting with the app, We’ve been doing Honda and Suzuki motorcycle keys with the Condor.

You can search and download my Suzuki bitting in the app, it’s under “Hayabusa”.

Custom Key Tool for Condor XC-Mini is perfect for double sided keys or high security. You can find all the measurements of your key blank on InstaCode.

It does not have many kawasaki keys database, you need Instacode as reference to get a key blank code and then on the Cut by Bitting menu search for that key blank HON77 for example.

KW15

 

Condor XC009 also makes all vertical motorcycle keys.
As for key programming,  Tango and tmpro have pretty good coverage on bikes.

OBDSTAR also releases motorcycle special key programming devices.

Xhorse Dolphin II Security Code Invalid Solution

 Problem:

I have just bought a xhorse dolphin xp005L key cutting machine and when i try to create an account on the quick sign in the security code says invalid and account is not recognised, Anyone help?
Solution:
Here are a few steps that you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Double-check that you’ve entered the security code correctly. Security codes are case-sensitive, so make sure that you’re entering it exactly as it appears.
2. Make sure that you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, connectivity issues can prevent the account creation process from completing.
3. Try creating the account on a different device or web browser. It’s possible that there may be a compatibility issue with the device or browser that you’re currently using.
4. Contact the Dolphin customer support team. They may be able to provide additional guidance on how to resolve the issue. You can find their contact information on their website or in the user manual that came with your device.
I hope that helps!

Currently, M5 clamp is not yet compatible with the dolphin xp005 key cutting machine (wait for feature firmware update). It is for Condor II and Dolphin II.

If xhorse app asks to use M5 fixture after upgrade, go to Device information at bottom right-then Cutting setting then change clamp to M1/M2.
