Silca Ultracode - need manual for USB / cutting by VIN

Postby bradh » 28 May 2019 13:25

I have an older Silca Ultracode machine. I am looking for a manual on how to use this machine. There is a USB port and I would like to know how to cut a key by the VIN number. We are a KIA and MAZDA dealer. HELP....

Please try the Locksmith Business sub section called Key Machines & Programmers, this is the hobby lock picking General Chatter area.

I will move your post to that area for better coverage.

is this what you need? http://www.ilco.us/media/856844/v3/File/ultracode-user-manual.pdf

I think you will also need software such as InstaCode in order to talk to the key machine, but you would enter the cuts, not a VIN, there are website services that you pay for that you'd give them the VIN and they give you the key cuts or the indirect code that you then type into InstaCode and it tells the key machine via USB cable which cuts to make and how deep.

*Perhaps someone else can chime in, in case I got any of that wrong....

This looks interesting: https://www.autocode.us/

new car dealers should have their own ways to get codes from VIN numbers. I know GM has GlobalConnect/AutoDealers.Net
