Xhorse Dolphin II + Key Reader Cut Audi A6 HU66 Key

 I’m going to show how to use Xhorse Dolphin XP005L + Key Reader to cut a new Audi A6 HU66 key. Firstly you should have a working key for reading key bitting codes. Let’s get to start.

 

Step1. Read Bitting Codes

1. Turn on Dolphin II, it’ll power-on self-test.
2. Use Xhorse app for Bluetooth connection.
3. Insert the key into XDKR00GL Key Reader for optical reading.

 

Optical identification >> Audi >> A6 >> HU66 >> OK >> Identification >> Identification

Identification successful.

Key biting codes: 11334242

Press “To cut” to complete.

Step2. Cut Key

*It’s suggested to do height calibration before cutting.

Device information >> Height calibration >> Start

Put the key to be cut on M5 clamp side B position 0, lock the knob.

Close the protective cover to prevent the cutting iron filings from flying around.

Cutting key >> Continue

Dolphin XP005L machine starts cutting…

Clean up debris after cutting completed.

Turn the key over and continue to cut the other side.

Continue cutting…

Wait until finished.

 

Take out the key to check cutting effect, it’s same as the working key.

It can successfully open lock as well.

Xhorse Dolphin XP005 Fixed VA2 VA6 Bugs

 Some users reported that Xhorse Dolphin XP005/XP005L had bugs when cutting VA2/VA6 key blanks in the last update.

The problem was solved by the last update. V1.7.4 came out and fix the va6 issue. 
Update the firmware to 1.7.4 or Dolphin machine and update also the Xhorse app.

 

Feedback:

Just cut a VA6 I decoded the key Q-H then cut as normal.
so I tried again with the same key but this time I noticed a new item in the menu just before you click cut (See Photo)

I ticked this and cut the key again (you have to tick it on both cuts)

Put it in the lock and it worked.
on the 2nd cut it took a fraction more off one side and the back end of the key

But it worked in the lock.

How to Fix Xhorse Dolphin XP005L Bluetooth Constantly Disconnect?

 Problem:

I connect my Xhorse Dolphin XP005L to a phone via Bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting by itself. after that i connect back then it immediately disconnects. Firmware and database are up to date.

I also use the machine with key tool plus. he has disconnected with it a total of 1 time so far. it is much rarer there. Any solution?

Solution:

Update firmware and database to latest version, then connect with Xhorse App.

If all versions are up to date, but Bluetooth still constantly disconnecting, the problem would be the WiFi module on the mainboard.

Contact us to verify if the WiFi module need to be replaced. We will send you WiFi module for replacement.

Remove the screen and replace WiFi module (on the same control board)
