Professional Usage Notes

• Ignition Specific: This specific Lishi tool is optimized for the ignition cylinder. While it may assist with doors, its primary spacing and lifter configuration are calibrated for the ignition.

• Newer Generation: This keyway replaced the older HU66 in most VAG models starting around 2015/2016.

• Complex Decoding: Because this is a 9-cut system (6 internal + 3 side), careful attention must be paid to the side-cut positions to ensure a fully functional key is cut. Use the side-lifter on the tool to read the additional depths.

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.
