KYDZ The Next Evolution KYDZ Cube 2 Smart Key & Remote Generator A next-generation key programming and chip cloning device for professional automotive locksmiths and immobilizer specialists. NCF29XX work, chip identification, frequency measurement, current leak detection, PKE antenna location and motorcycle AKL - in one unit. P1 1.47" HD colour screen NCF29XX cloning Chip ID incl. 22K Frequency up to 902MHz Motorcycle AKL What Cube 2 is Everything the white Cube did - and considerably more The original Cube (white) was an app-driven universal remote generator that specialised in motorcycles and 5C keys. Cube 2 is a hardware generation jump: built-in colour screen, rechargeable battery, expanded chip identification engine, CAN / LIN / K-Line interfaces, and a full NCF29 module for working on encrypted NXP smart keys. ! Know this before you buy: the device's offline mode supports chip identification only. All cloning, remote generation and NCF29XX operations require a Bluetooth connection to the KYDZ app. In addition, some advanced functions require a Premium Authorization (Auth Req). Core capabilities Engineered for excellence Advanced NXP smart key duplication Reads, calculates and duplicates complete encrypted data from original NXP automotive immobilizer chips. Supports smart key re-learning without selecting a vehicle model, and unlocking protected keys for reuse. Smart key & remote generation Generates sub-keys and remote controls compatible with a wide range of vehicle models. Includes a separate app module for garage door remote generation. Comprehensive chip identification Accurately identifies multiple transponder types - including 22K chips - plus immobilizer type and PKE antenna position. Chip identification is the one function that also works without the app. Multi-type chip duplication Duplication for 46 · 4D · 4C · 48 chips, plus 8A chip key calculation (unlocked key pages only). 46 4D 4C 48 8A calc New feature High-precision frequency measurement Integrated professional frequency module. Supported ranges: 305-320MHz · 430-436MHz · 868MHz · 902MHz, plus 2.4G Bluetooth - for real-time signal diagnosis and remote testing. ASK 314.99 MHz -45 dBm New feature Key fob leakage current detection Measures both static standby draw and working current. Normal working current is 8-25mA. Finds the parasitic drain that kills fob batteries fast, with instant colour coding. AVG: 17.0 mA NORMAL Green - normal Yellow - slightly high Red - excessive New feature Immobilizer coil & PKE antenna detection Hold the pickup near the coil area, switch the ignition on and press start repeatedly - the device locates the antenna by signal strength. The headphone jack accepts an external pickup antenna for tight spaces. IMMO : ID-6A New feature Integrated bus expansion Built-in CAN · LIN · K-Line interfaces via the DB26 connector, providing expanded basic OBD functionality and improved vehicle communication. Rechargeable battery & colour screen A 1.47-inch HD colour display and built-in rechargeable battery for mobile work. Note: the battery gives you physical portability, but advanced operations still require the app. Expansion interface (future adapters) A dedicated programmer interface for DIP chips and CPU data reading, designed for future upgrades and expanded functionality without replacing hardware. A dedicated tool - not tied to an expensive host device The KYDZ Cube 2 is a fully standalone bench tool - it does not require connection to an expensive master device. Honda motorcycle - All Key Lost Key learning in all key lost condition for Honda, using barcode reading. Runs through the app's dedicated motorcycle module. Yamaha motorcycle - All Key Lost Key learning in all key lost condition for Yamaha, using barcode reading. A separate matching interface is built into the device. NCF29 module Working on NCF29XX keys - in depth The NCF29xx family is the encrypted chip found in most modern smart keys today. Cube 2 includes a dedicated NCF29 module in the app, built around three core working functions. Smart Renew Unlocks a used key by clearing its learned data, so it can be re-learned to a different vehicle. Copy Reads, calculates and copies the encrypted data from the original key onto a target key. Program Library Built-in programming library - ready-made working files organised by chip and key type. Which chips the family covers The NCF29xx family includes the following variants, built on the Hitag2 (46), Hitag3 (47), Hitag Pro (49) and Hitag AES (4A) crypto families: NCF29A1NCF29A2NCF29A3NCF29A4NCF2953NCF2954 View supported brands & chip markings How do I know if my key has an NCF29xx chip? The honest answer: open the key and read the marking on the chip. There is no reliable model-year lookup - manufacturers swap variants mid production year. Real markings seen in the field: Chip markingSeen on keys from NXPA1M15 / PCFA1M15Jeep, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo (ID 4A) NCFA4M05RAM 1500, 2019-2021 NXPA4M35Mitsubishi Outlander 2023 (ID 4A) NXPA1E05Chevrolet 2022 (ID 46) NXPF2951X0700Hyundai Ioniq / Tucson Coverage by manufacturer NCF29xx-based keys appear across these manufacturers: HyundaiKiaNissanToyotaJeepBMW Alfa RomeoFiatMazdaMitsubishiHonda Chevrolet / GMFordLand RoverPeugeotRenault Dodge / RAMChryslerGMCCadillacSuzukiBuick ! Important: coverage depends on the specific chip variant and key type - not on the brand name. A manufacturer appearing in this list does not guarantee every one of its keys is supported. Check the marking on the chip. A clear-eyed look at the market Cube 2 is not the only way to do NCF29xx Let's be straight: other tools reach NCF29xx keys too. The real difference isn't the chip list - it's how you get to the chip, and how many devices you carry to cover a full working day. Keydiy KD-X4 / KD-MAX Added NCF29xx sync in April 2026. Reads NCF29A1/A2/A3/A4, NCF2953 and NCF2954, so on paper the chip coverage looks similar. The significant catch: it often requires desoldering the chip from the original key and soldering it onto the KD #13 adapter. That is slow, and it puts an original customer key at risk every single time. The original Cube 1 (white) Still a capable universal remote generator for motorcycles and 5C keys, and it shares the same app ecosystem. The catch: no NCF29xx module at all, no chip identification, no frequency or current measurement, and no PKE antenna detection. The full 53-function breakdown is below. + So why Cube 2? Because it reaches NCF29xx without desoldering wherever an adapter exists, and because it isn't only a cloner. It also generates remotes, identifies chips, measures frequency, finds parasitic current draw, locates PKE antennas and performs motorcycle AKL. One device instead of a drawer full of single-purpose tools. Comparison Cube 1 vs Cube 2 - 53 functions The table is split into categories.

The bulk of Cube 2's work happens on the bench - chip cloning, remote generation and NCF29xx operations are performed on the key itself. There is a DB26 connector carrying CAN / LIN / K-Line that provides expanded basic OBD functionality, but it does not replace a professional diagnostic scanner. The advanced OBD operations in the table are marked as requiring a Premium Authorization. Which functions require Premium Authorizations (Auth Req)?+ This works the way it does on most high-end diagnostic and programming platforms: the hardware ships with a full set of core functions included, while the advanced, high-value operations are unlocked through software authorizations purchased separately. Included as standard: smart key and remote generation, garage door remote generation, comprehensive chip identification (including 22K), 46 / 4D / 4C / 48 cloning, Hitag2 EE 46 and Hitag3 47 EEPROM work, frequency measurement, leakage current detection, and PKE antenna location. Require a Premium Authorization: NCF29xx operations (cloning, Smart Renew, encrypted data read), advanced EEPROM families (Hitag AES 4A, Hitag Pro 49, Megamos 48, TIRIS RF430, WFS 5C, MQB), 8A chip key calculation, and OBD programming (MQB, MLB, 5C, 5D, Harley). Every one of these is marked Auth Req in the 53-function table above, so you can see exactly what is included and what is not before you buy. We would rather you know this up front than discover it at the bench. Does it replace my Xhorse / Autel / KD?+ No, and it isn't meant to. Cube 2 is a complementary tool, not a substitute for a full diagnostic and programming platform. It doesn't do OBD key programming on most vehicles, doesn't read ECUs and doesn't run fault diagnostics. What it does very well is bench work on keys - NCF29xx, generation, chip identification and electrical fob diagnosis. Most locksmiths will keep it alongside their main platform. Do I need to solder?+ It depends on the key. Where a matching adapter exists, the work is solder-free: the universal board with adjustable pins, the 9-piece VW/Audi set, the 6-piece BMW set, and the BDC3 and BCP clamps. Where no dedicated adapter exists, a direct connection to the contact points is required. For comparison, some competing solutions such as the KD-X4 frequently require desoldering the chip itself - a slower process, and riskier for the key. Which adapters are included and which are sold separately?+ Included in the box: the Cube 2 unit and the basic adapter board. Sold separately: the universal NXP board, the 9-piece VW/Audi set, the 6-piece BMW set, the BDC3 clamp, the BCP clamp, and the MLB Tool adapter. We sell the unit only here - contact us about the specific adapters your work requires. Does it work offline, without a phone?+ Only partially, and it's worth understanding before you buy. Offline mode supports chip identification only - you can place a chip and see its type on the screen. Everything else, including NCF29xx cloning, remote generation and chip duplication, requires a Bluetooth connection to the KYDZ app on your phone. The built-in battery gives you physical portability, not independence from the app. Cube 2 - the next evolution in key programming Intelligent diagnostics, advanced chip technology and a full NCF29 module - in one compact platform that replaces a drawer of single-purpose tools. * Some functions require a Premium Authorization (Auth Req) or a separate adapter. * Most functions require a Bluetooth connection to the KYDZ app. Offline mode supports chip identification only. * Coverage depends on the specific chip variant and key type, not on the manufacturer name. * Illustrations on this page are graphical renderings for demonstration.
