(467) Testing Reading 12 Keys with the Xhorse Key Reader

[@dcshoeman2k4]

Excellent video! The fact that even if it misreads the key it’s stupid easy to move the dots manually to come up with the correct bitting is a game changer. If you have a shop like this would greatly simplify complicated work for less than experienced shop help.

[@russej02]

It definitely would. For me it's a waste of money but I like gadgets. but someone that can't site read keys this would be great. If you use the machine to decode an old worn honda or nissan key you dont know which space isnt right. this would visually tell you. you could still depth keys in and screen the shot the pics and be able to compare what it decoded and what a depth key looks like and find out where its off

[@Locksmith.71]

I picked up one of these about a month ago. So far I really like it. I was having trouble decoding and cutting B111 and B102 keys correctly. So far this has corrected the problem. Also nice to be loading the blank while this decodes then cutting right away and not doing everything twice. Saves time.

[@russej02]

Definitely. Easier on the machine too.

[@jeffhudgins9142]

Just got mine as well. Love new toys! Great tool for the used car lots where I make duplicate keys.

[@russej02]

Yea. Faster than using the probe

[@maxl.8804]

im new to key cutting -question: how do you tell wht type of key it is "HU101" -do you use some reference manual or online or some app? also How do you know what Cut depts it should be before even key machine decodes it? im sorry for me baby questions im super new to this- please ignore it.

[@russej02]

not sure I understand the question about cut depths. far as what key blank to use. if you're in the states my smart app is great to look things up. or the ilco key blank catalog.

it hasnt had many but when it does update you just do it through the app

No. For some reason they don’t put any single sided keys into their software. It’s just car keys.

[@MisterGank]

lol @ "I love gadgets and hate money" --- It looks like it's a ton faster & you're not risking a probe breaking. Do you think the same?

[@russej02]

Yes. I actually really like it. The pic it produces with the depths helps too. You can pretty easily see if it decoded right or not. I use it almost every day.

Handy little thing. Thanks for the video. I could use some help here. I added a key to a 2007 mercedes SL550 with push to start on the Shift knob, the problem I'm having is making it work with the push button (proximity) the key is a proximity key and all functions work, I programmed 4 keys from different vendors and all got the same results. I called autel and they could not help just told me wrong key. Just wondering if you ever came across something like this and could help out. Thank you, Happy Holidays.
