This guide shows you how to use the Xhorse Dolphin XP005 Key Cutting Machine to cut a HU66 key for a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle in an All Keys Lost (AKL) situation.
We’ll also connect the VVDI Key Tool Max with the Dolphin XP005 for operation. Alternatively, you can control the process directly via the Xhorse App installed on a smartphone.
Step 1: Select Key and Enter Code
From the main menu, select All Keys Lost → Volkswagen
Enter the key code: 0798
Select HU66, 8 bitting, 820×2800
Step 2: Set Up the Key Blank
Install the M2-C clamp with the shoulder aligned as prompted
Place the HU66 key blank flat and secure it in the clamp
Press “OK” to confirm
Step 3: Decode and Verify Bitting
The decoded bitting code is: 22433444
Always double-check the code for accuracy before proceeding
Step 4: Begin Cutting
Select Cutting Key → Continue
The Dolphin XP005 will start cutting the first side automatically
Step 5: Flip and Cut the Second Side
Once the first side is complete, clean any metal debris
Remove the key, flip it over, and reposition it flat in the clamp
Press Cutting Key → Continue again
The machine will proceed to cut the reverse side
Step 6: Test the Key
After cutting is complete, test the key in the vehicle’s lock
The key turns smoothly and operates perfectly
Done!
The HU66 key has been successfully cut for the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle using the Xhorse Dolphin XP005 key cutting machine.
