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.
To be upgrading...

Audi A8 2007 lost key: done by VVDI2 or AVDI? KD remote needed?
Audi A8 2007 Lost key, 4E to look at
its 3 lit. diesel, the car has prox
function but has normal ignition
Tools to use and test results:
AVDI: Don't know if avdi can do it, probably yes.
VVDI2: Yes
KD remote: Can be used
Experience with VVDI2 + KD remote:
Kd remotes can be used.
You need to remove kessy module. should be on driver side under mats.
Read eeprom and make dealer key with 7th byte and learn it.
I used Xhorse vvdi2.
A question that comes with it is:
Is the original key and remote are integrated? ie id 46 remote gets programmed at the same time? or is it a manual procedure?
The answer is:
Yes, is id46 in circuit.
Remote will program automatically.
I used touareg key, worked well.
I'm not sure if all a8 are keyless but the one I've done had ignition too.
Ignition will turn on and start when pressing the brake pedal.
Keyless keys 4e are very hard to find.did not found on eBay or China.
In KD app..
Go in "vw Skoda seat". you will find a8, Touareg, Phaeton..
Also you can try Touareg 433 nb multifunction.
One last question:
on right hand drive cars like in uk, is kessy still under the driver seat?
The answer is:
It's On passenger side..
Just have to remove 4 bolts from the seat.5mins job..
Enjoy.
