Martin b Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 We're in the manual does it tell you to decode on the bottom jaw then cut in the key in the top jaw ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autotechnix Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 No idea, John from Extreme Security suggested that method to me, he has used an A5 for years and that's how he cuts Renault key blades on it. Peter should have told you that too. Alan @ Autotechnix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key cabin Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Been on Instacode and there is nothing in the pipeline as yet to connect to the A9. So it wont be out in the next upgrade as suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Well if its the same as BD laser etc, it does not matter if you cut direct from lap top / instacode because the cutting software for the particular key must be installed on the machines software. So there is no real benefit apart from you are controlling the machine from your lap top keyboard instead of the machines keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decker Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yep, if my BD broke tommorow, i would replace with same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Okay folks, unless there are further developments, perhaps we can give the instacode issue a bit of a rest? The original suggestion behind this thread was for users of the machine to share problems, solutions etc regarding the machine, rather than going round in circles on one issue, let's try & keep it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin b Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 On my machine sometimes when I'm navigation the menu it will bleep and just go back to the home screen on its own, it has done it numerous times now, does anyone else's ? Is there a fix for it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Not sure if this is relevant to Miracle owners, but the new 63 plate volvo's are using an aluminium key insert on the hu101 blade and when i decoded one earlier in the week my Triax tracer snapped as it did not make an electrical contact correctly. I now decode these by eye or get the key code from the importers when they bring them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockdecoders Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I will give Pomsecurity a call tomorrow. Unfortunately Volvo has been using an aluminium key for about 4 years now and you cannot decode it using a machine and has to be done by eye. Same goes to cutting with most machines as they go and to0uch the key and then cut. On the Miracle remove the touch sensor and cut the key.

key cabin Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Spoke to Peter last night, there will be another update very shortly, so get your fingers at the ready lads. At the moment my A9 is cooperating with all my demands, had a chap in on Monday morning lost keys to his Seat Leon, decoded with the lishi and cut the key on my A9. The chap was astonished. So the A9 made me look like god to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymobile Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I see the A9 can be bought direct from China for £1200 pounds less than UK price.Has anyone gone down this road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Import Duty and Carriage will make it nearly the same surely if not more expensive. And who do you call when you have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simong Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 you are nearly right import duty is 20 percent the china dealers will put it on a ship near enough for nothing ,but who do go to with a problem is correct as they do speak English good enough . and rarely get it sorted ,i no i have been down that road a couple of years ago went to shanghai for 2 weeks ,volcano erupted was there 4 weeks which was a bad start bought items got them no problem paid the tax then all the instructions were in German in the end scrapped it , and there is only so much rice and baby snake and frog you can eat and tea you can drink expensive lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockdecoders Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 All Miracle machines shipped to China are in Chinese with Chinese characters and cannot be changed to any other language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymobile Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thats correct for A5 and A7. Not so with A9 they are available from China in English. The A6 is also available in English but in very limited numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockdecoders Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Can you possibly show me this as there is a mistake in that they should all be in Chinese and the A6 is not available yet except via us. In January all other distributors will have stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&quay Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I have a MS10 Its a great machine ..did I see somewhere that it can make a standard car blade into a flip key blade version ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the locksmith Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 On 10/10/2013 at 10:57 AM, lockdecoders said: I am shocked in that I agree with Craig on the subject of Instacode. We have found a lot of missing information in the Instacode program and we have had to resort to looking on the Silca software for it. I agree that this is a shortfall on the device and that many people want it. | am pressurising the factory for this to be sent to Instacode to be added to the next update or so as I believe and have said many times that it is needed. It is good to get feedback like this so I can pass it on to the engineers. I hope you have silca's approval to take data from there software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphamax Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 My Miracle a9 has just suddenly in the past few weeks struggling to cut hu66 blades , have changed cutters , re calibration , even bought a new adapter , have to cut maybe 5 times before it will work in ignition and normally will only open door and not lock . Seems to be cutting everything else ok and had been fine for years , spindle belts seem ok. Anyone any similar problems ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
