Thanks a million I tried lishi a few times in the past but couldn’t figure it out and gave up on it. Definitely will try it your way. I use HPC and my only concern is to be able to figure out ignition keys since I am not a locksmith but do key cutting and programming. I hope you demonstrate those and the those lishis that have two pressure handles rather than one You did make a difference and made me a subscriber as well as a fan. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot John! I will be releasing more videos in the future on key making. Hopefully those videos will help you master this trade! And thanks for the sub!
Ive seen a lot of videos on how to lock pick with Lishi, and I have to say that yours is the very best on you tube, very well explained and also good to know about the instacode part, thank you very much for a great video and your time explaining this, great work
Thank you for your video I'm a auto master technician starting in auto locksmith bought xtool 100 pro pad 3 and a Akai key duplicator statring by doing extras key for now.
@@californialocksmithco thanks for your response, does it cover most of domestic and Asian vehicles, and what is your opinion about about auto pro pad basic or auto pro pad G2 ? Thanks
I started thinking of buying bump keys for cylinder locks, bunch of lishi pickers and decoders, and train on every lock till i know for certain i can do it, then start a company to open ppls locks for like 40-50 euros. Advertise etc. I am studying now to start my own company and this seems the cheapest to start. Do you know of more "easy" opening methods and on which locks? For example there is also the tibbe picker and decoder. Can you hint me into a direction for my research? I could buy a bunch of the locks to train on. Prob all of them. Maybe offer lock replacement? New key cutting in the case of decodable keys? (Back of a van) Only thing is the transponder to get th back on the road. Is there anything to bypass this? I could do vehicles and homes where ppl are locked out or have lost their keys.
California Locksmith Co ,. Happy to found your channel . what is the best resource , book or program or soft ware to find out, what LISHI MODEL or the best way to generate a key to any car.? please thank you
Lishi 2-1 Guide by Tony Audsley and also there is an app on playstore that pretty much you pick the make and model and it tells you exactly with one to use.... it's called lishi 2-1 reference guide I believe I paid $7.99 I think...
I have a few cylinders I'm practicing on, I believe they're pretty worn out but I'm not sure, they aren't mine, they're out of commission. Anyways, you say that when they're solid that you should pick them, but nine times out of ten there's a slight spring before I hit anything solid, so do I pick those? They can often be depressed even further and I can get a second or third click too, what about those? When I click everything that can be clicked, nothing happens, I depress them further, nothing happens, but others try the same cylinder and and open it right up. Another problem I have is the wafers will reset when I pick a different one, and I have to go back and pick the one that was reset, only to have to reset the last one I got a click on, so I just go back and forth hoping it eventually sticks, then I move on and they get reset again, even with adequate tension.
I’ve found that when ever I have a wafer that has some spring even the slightest, I leave it and move to the next. for example if you picked all the wafers and none are solid anymore , apply a bit more tension or reset the lock and pick to the opposite direction then read the lock. Remember clean the lock out before picking also patience is key. 🔑
Just picked one up for my Ducati, (KW14) but it doesn't have the hinging out tension bar. Just the back. How do I tension this with the keyway full? Twisting the tool to tension jams it up a little.
@@californialocksmithco Live and learn I guess. Kind of looking forward to messing with it in a picking sense though I guess it still works. (Trying to provide a broken key service to our Ducati club).
Hi , this is a great video to show the process. I do have a question. why don't you just use the biting to cut a key without find the key code? the key machine can cut by bitting alone, right?
SAM XU you need to use the lishi tool, to find the bitting. Then transfer bitting to machine to cut. Unless you order key code through vin number. You wouldn’t be making much profit if you take that route.
@@californialocksmithco my questions is , use lishi to find the bitting like you did in the video, then can you just use the bitting cut the key directly using key machine? save to check the code at all? thanks
SAM XU yes you can definitely use a automatic machine to cut the key. But this video is for people that don’t have that type of machine. For example some locksmiths have the hpc blitz, it’s completely manual. You have to manually cut every single cut . You can cut keys different ways depending on the machinery he or she has.
Instacode is needed if you pick the door lock and need to decipher the remaining key cuts to the ignition. Some key cutting machines can do it aswell. But I like to have instacode in my Locksmith arsenal, it comes in handy
One thing that confuses me is when watching people using Lishi picks,some pick putting the levers towards the numbers,some people pick away from the numbers,why?? Then decoding,i've seen people decode towards the numbers,but they picked away from the numbers?? I managed to pick my ignition lock,but the decoding numbers are 'completely' different from what my auto cutting machine reads off the key!? Please help before i have a complete mental breakdown! :-)
robbocop33 r I see what your talking about. This depends on how the lock is placed some are up straight and some are upside down. Also some locksmith prefer to pick towards the numbers and some away. It really depends on the positioning of the wafers
Hello California Locksmith Co , I am a new subscriber I am enjoying your videos very much ! I found your channel because I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima Se that has only one key and the chip appears to be broken (security light won't turn off and beebs car will spin over but will not start )... I would really like to try to program it with a Ck100 tool but I have a couple of questions about it .. I assume I can purchase a key blank with a chip for my nissan online and have anywhere that makes keys cut it to match my broken existing key? Can the Ck100 program a key without a working key ? Could you recommend someone to buy the tool from ? And my last question is about the BCM code ... what is the best way to get a pin code from it ? Would you be able to help me get the pin code I would need ?(I would gladly pay you to do so of course !) Any help you could provide would be a tremendous help !! Sorry for this long message and I really appreciate you taking the time to read it ..
Ok, so this is what you should do 1. Order a transponder key (ni01pt)(ni02pt) either or 2. Buy a ck100 key programmer 3. BCM code for that year is (5523) Once the key arrives in the mail, take it to any hardware store or locksmith to duplicate your old key to the new one. If you want a ck100 go on www.aliexpress.com and buy one there. Price ranges from 80-95.00 Sometimes they go lower! When you have the key ready and key programmer ready message me so I can guide you on programming the key successfully. If you found this helpful you can help me by contributing to my patreon thanks!!! 🙏 www.patreon.com/Californialocksmithco
So I am confused about one thing if I had the 10 bit decoder that started at 1 and used it on the IGN I would not need to use the instacode correct? Also isn't it more convenient to just do VIn to Pin? I wish there was a way to speak to you personally I am a locksmith in training I like all the old school techniques of getting keycode instead of using the VIn. With this vehicle it is also possible to use the dept keys as well right? On the door cylinder or IGN
The reason for that is that when working On nissans, the door locks only have cuts 3-10 leaving 1-2 in the ignition. To get the remaining cuts I use a locksmith software like InstaCode 👍🏻
wouldn't instacode provide you with the code, so there is no need to lockpick? i'm a car dealer and would like to get a good automatic cutting machine that will last me a while and a good programmer. what would you recommend? Thanks for the great videos! very educational
Ayaz Shah well here’s the thing. Instacode Can indeed convert a key code into the actual cuts, but if you don’t have a key code available, you can use the lishi tool to read the door key wafers and then get the remaining cuts for the ignition. The majority of cars don’t have all the key cuts on the door usually some are in the door lock and the rest in the ignition. This method will save you thousands, by not needing to buy key codes 👍 I recommend the mini condor automatic key machine, it can cut standard car keys and high security keys. And for key programmers I recommend ck100, t300, autek programmer. Skp900 there’s a whole bunch more. Thanks for taking the time and watching my video man 🙏
Alex Ugarte it says it needs tokens, but the way it was designed, every time you use it it adds tokens automatically. You’ll never end up whiteout tokens
California Locksmith Co I actually purchased a ck200 it is supposed to be better than ck100. I tried to program a key for a 2013 expedition and one fir a 2012 jetta. But it is not connecting to ecu after waiting 800 seconds. It says repeat procedure.Am I doing something wrong?
Well for starters the Volkswagen Jetta need another type of key programmer. And for the expedition, you should be able to. Make sure you are using the proper transponder key.
Most websites that sell to locksmiths make you provide either your licensing information, or answer questions that only locksmiths could answer(usually)
@@markwilladsen5683 Had to supply my business license the other day & answer the security questions (I do Auto Repair / Mobile Diagnostics / Reprogramming as well and customers asking me to cut keys so after Looking around I'm jumping in and learning)
How does one know which Lishi tool they need for which Automotive as many automobile brands I've noticed have multiple 2-4 Lishi tools available. Wouldn't mind a kit of common ones. Sure I can pay mfrs for codes via NASTF but would rather put some of that money in my pocket as every bit of knowledge counts. By the way getting the xhorse dolphin as I like being able to take a picture and it helps by decoding and do a test on a blade so if incorrect only out time and small cost of blade.
I've seen another locksmith that used this tool and another that he wiggled into the lock and till it was able to work. Slid a bar and it saved the codes.
