13 Song’s Audi/Opel decoder

Ok, I made my Sunday evening deadline …. hope you like the topic …

I wrote about the korean lock tool company “13 song’s tool” before. Very clever, very bright. It is just too bad to see cheap knock-offs of their original design floating around all over the place …

When I met with the people behind “13 song’s tool” some time ago, they were kind enough to demonstrate some of their tools.

cut your own key ....

The toool you see on this blackbag video (High Quality quicktime or low quality youtube) is a decoder tool for two track Audi and Opel locks.

The theory behind this decoder is the same as the VW decoder covered on this website before. The inner shape of the wafer is dependent of the code. So a wafer ‘code one’ has a bigger opening as a ‘code four’. This tool simply ‘reads’ the size of the opening of the wafer. And instead of using pre-defined setup keys (as with the VW tool), this kit comes with thin pieces of metal to cut a key from. Two of these pieces back to back will open the lock ….

Thank you for visiting … next week (Sunday evening) more video’s on blackbag … stay tuned …

    My korean is a bit rusty. After consulting babelfish, “장비유형” turned out top be “Equipment shedding of blood(?!)”. But still, nice tools 😉

    Cheap knock off’s, always been there and always will be 🙂 Knock off’s have that nice thing about them that the average lock enthusiast can afford them and get some experience. I’m sure the real professionals ( locksmiths ) want tools that are durable and last for a long time.

  3. There is no such thing as “durable locks” or “durable tools”. Everytime something “smart” comes up, someone smarter proves that there is at least one way to “deal” with the “miracle”. And the more complex they are, the faster they are “unlocked”. Maybe one should just keep it simple, as in the old times.

    Seems to be a nice tool. But, if you watch carefully you see that the dial shows a seven, but he cuts the key to 8, in the 866-serie. Of course he knows that it has to be an eight to work, so the tool is’nt to accurate.

    I don`y understand this video.Instacode program say Audi have 8 spaces and 4 deepth key.Then what are numbers like 9 doing there?!?!And Audi I think after 96-98 have that laser key but that is useless.Even if you get into the car it still have immobilisator,so why they didn`t post f.e. emergency immo override?!?
