Solved: Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus Cut HU66 Inaccurately?

Image
Problem: The Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus cannot accurately cut the HU66 key. I tried three keys, but all were wrong.  What's the matter? Please help. Troubleshooting  From the image provided, the engineer suggested: 1. Please make sure the drill diameter is correct. Check if the cutter is 2.5mm; 2. Check if the key option is correct, as the key blade doesn't look like HU66. Solution The customer wants to cut a Citroën Berlingo key, but it turns out to be a VA2 Blade rather than HU66, so he can't cut it correctly. Re-manually select the right option from the Vehicle Database on Xhorse Condor . Then the problem can be solved.
