The standout feature of the Condor XC-Twins is the AI Recognition mode, which aims to replace the manual “Make/Model/Year” search.
- The AI Process: The machine uses a combination of the physical probe and multiple camera images to identify the key profile.
- Speed & Ease: The AI method is notably simpler and faster than traditional database navigation.
- Accuracy vs. Tradition: The AI suggested using the M5 Clamp Side A.
- The traditional database suggested M5 Clamp Side B.
- Result: Both methods produced functional keys that opened and closed the vehicle normally.
Technical Observations
