Troubleshooting KTP Connection Issue with MLB Tool

Issue Description (Reported by UK Customer):

"Hi, I am having problems communicating KTP with the MLB Tool. It won’t connect. I tried exiting and reconnecting, but the issue remains."

Root Cause & Solution

This issue typically occurs after performing the hardware upgrade for MQB key data reading.

When replacing the original chip inside the MLB Tool with the one provided in the MQB adapter package, it is crucial to ensure proper soldering of the new chip.

Important:

The chip must be securely soldered onto the board, with plenty of solder applied to all legs/pins to ensure stable connectivity and function.

Poor soldering can lead to unstable contact, causing the KTP connection to fail or remain unrecognized by the MLB Tool.

Recommendation:

Open the MLB Tool and double-check the solder joints of the new chip.

If necessary, resolder all legs carefully to ensure a solid connection.

Once done correctly, the KTP communication should work as expected.

Xhorse Key Reader 7 FAQs You Should Know

The latest key identification device Xhorse Key Reader has been released and can be pre-ordered now! Check the frequently asked questions and answers below to find what it can do.

 Why Xhorse develop Key Reader?

3 significant features:

1. It’s able to identify aluminum keys, plastic keys as well as metal keys. It’s a bit troublesome to get the bitting code, so Key Reader greatly compensates for that. 

2. Probe breaking can be avoided. 

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

 Will Xhorse Key Reader work on APP?

Yes. 

1. Use a smartphone + key cutting machines like Dolphin XP005. By smartphone, you can obtain key bitting, then cut with the machine.

2. Use a key cutting machine with a screen like Condor XC-MINI Plus or Dolphin IIXP-005L. In this way, you can directly cut the key with simple clicks on the machine.

 Dose Xhorse Key Reader support edge cut keys?

Yes. Just insert the key and click “Identification” on the screen. Key Reader will identify the key bitting codes automatically and show all key details.

 Dose Xhorse Key Reader identifies HU162T?

Yes. HU162T is mainly for VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda cars. Though it’s a special metal key with 3 sides. For sure Key Reader Blade Skimmer is able to identify it.

 Does Xhorse Key Reader identify Honda keys?

Definitely yes. It’s acknowledged that Honda keys tend to wear off easily. Yet you can still acquire accurate key bitting results.

 Does Xhorse Key Reader support plastic/aluminum keys?

Sure. That’s the biggest advantage of the tool.

 How much is it and when will it be available?

The pre-order price is £265, will arrive and deliver in December.

My first key cutting machine: xhorse dolphin or kukai sec-e9

If you are looking for your first key cutting machine, and wondering buy xhorse dolphin or kukai sec-e9. Please read the following parts based on users' feedback.

Firstly, please ask yourself these questions:
The answer to your question depends on your needs, forget for now cheap or expensive, and look at what you need it for.
-Are you looking to cut occasional keys, a lot of keys?
-Do you want updates and the latest keyways first?
-Do you want a machine for now or a machine for many years?
-Do you want a machine that holds its value so you get a decent rate when you sell on rather than a worthless bit of kit
-What you want and what coverage you want reliably then fit the right machine to your needs

kukai sec-e9 review
1. SEC E9z - only for car keys
SEC E9 is little bit better can cut all key*

2. I've had my sec e9 a little over a year and it's been good to me. It was my first key cutter as well.

kukai sec-e9z reviews:
User 1:
I have SEC E9z - and I'm happy with this machine
For start E9z is OK but If you think to use VVDI MB for Mercedes keys will be beter to buy XHorse with VVDI MB and will have one token free every day

Compare what they can do and what they can't do:
copies most type of key:
kukai sec-e9/9z YES
xc-mini/dolphin YES

cuts car keys:
kukai sec-e9/9z YES
xc-mini/dolphin YES

cuts house keys by code:
kukai sec-e9 YES
xc-mini/dolphin NO cannot

can do engraving:
kukai sec-e9/9z YES
xc-mini/dolphin NO

so as of right now sec-e9 can do much more

can cut dimple keys (xhorse cant do)

can cut tubular keys (xhorse cant do)

can cut house keys(xhorse cant do)

can cut old GM 6 cut single side key(xhorse cant do)

can cut cabinet key y11 to code (xhorse cant do)

can engrave key with phone/logo whatever(xhorse cant do)


ok now heres where they get you tho the clamps and extras

High-Security Automotive Clamp and BONUS: HU66 Clamp for VW, Audi and Porsche

so you get two clamps

and there are a few more

engraving clamp 300

single sided clamp 200

home dimple clamp 300

tubular key clamp 195

tibbe key clamp 150

mercedes h64 clamp 99

hu162t vw clamp 99

one side toy2 adapter 99

sip22 fca adapter 99

and another 100 in cutters for those
thats almost another 1700 dollars in extra clamps you would need to get to kit this out

========
Xhorse Dolphin work with your phone - E9/E9z can't

Xhorse Dolphin has option for battery - E9/E9z hasn't

If you make 70 keys for Mercedes with free tokens Dolphin comes free

Dolphin is half price than E9

Most of E9 clamps are useless you can cut the key without them, for example: I bought E9z with all clamp but for example I'm cutting VA2 HU92 and HU66 without clamp.
