Technical Specifications

• Type: 9-Cut system featuring a 2-track internal profile plus a side-cut profile.

• Configuration: * 6 Internal Cuts: Located in the main inner grooves (Positions 1–6).

  • 3 Side Cuts: Located on the side of the blade (Positions 7–9).

• Tool Compatibility: Specifically designed for the Lishi HU162T(9) 2-in-1 tool.

Professional Usage Notes

• Dual-Purpose Tool: This 2-in-1 tool is essential for the 9-cut system where the door lock and ignition share the same bitting profile.

• Space Management: Pay close attention to the tool spaces 1 through 9. The first 6 spaces handle the internal groove wafers, while spaces 7, 8, and 9 are dedicated to the side cuts.

• Picking Strategy: * Apply light tension.

  • Pick the internal 6 wafers first. Once the lock moves slightly, you will often find you need to address the 3 side cuts to achieve a full rotation.

• Decoding: Ensure the tool is held steady during the decoding phase. Accuracy on the side cuts is vital; if these are even one depth off, the resulting key will not turn in the cylinder.

The HU162T (often referred to as the VAG2015 blade) is the modern standard for the Volkswagen Audi Group. It is a highly sophisticated internal laser-cut system that replaced the long-standing HU66.

Technical Specifications

• Type: Internal double-track laser-cut key.

• AKA: Often labeled as the “VAG 2015” keyway.

• Positions: Can contain either 8 or 10 cutting positions depending on the specific lock configuration.

• Depths: 5 potential cutting depths, labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (5 being the deepest).

• Tool Compatibility: Designed for use with the Lishi HU162T (VAG2015) 2-in-1 tool.

Professional Tips for Using the Lishi HU162T

Precision is critical with this keyway due to the tighter tolerances of modern VAG locks.

• Opening Direction:

  • Left-Hand Drive (LHD) Models: Turn clockwise to unlock.

  • Right-Hand Drive (RHD) Models: Turn clockwise to unlock.

• Internal Stamping:

  • The cuts are physically stamped onto the internal wafers. This means that if the lock is disassembled, the code can be read directly from the wafers.

• Decoding Direction:

  • Always decode this lock in the same direction that it was picked open.

• Key Cutting Note:

  • Important: Some automated key-cutting machines require you to reverse the depth numbers (e.g., 1 becomes 5) before inputting the code. Always check your specific machine’s software documentation for the VAG2015/HU162T series to avoid wasting key blanks.
