Finally, let’s see the Xhorse Key Reader FAQs.

Q: Why Xhorse develop this product?

A: Three top reasons are as follows.

1.Key Reader has three significant features. It’s able to identify plastic keys and aluminum keys as well as metal keys. Plastic keys and aluminum keys are not supported in key cutting machine. And it’s a bit troublesome to get the bitting code. So the Key Reader Xhorse greatly compensates for that.

2.Probe breaking can be avoided using Key Reader.

3.It’s much more accurate and faster than taking a photo to identify key data.

 

Q: Will Key Reader work on APP?

A: Sure. There are two methods to add new keys.

Method 1: smartphone+ Xhorse key cutting machine (such as Dolphin XP005)+ Xhorse XDKR00GL Key Reader

A: Yes. Just insert the key and click ‘identification’ on the screen.
