If you work with Fiat vehicles regularly, you already know how common the SIP22 key blade is—used on many Fiat models from the mid-2000s onward. Today, we’re going through the full process of cutting a Fiat SIP22 blade using the Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus II, one of the most popular compact key-cutting machines on the market.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Choose the Correct Key Profile
On the Condor II interface, navigate through:
Automotive → Brand/Model → Fiat → Fiat 500 → SIP22
This loads the correct data for decoding and cutting.
2. Secure the Original Key
Place the OEM key on the M5-B clamp, aligning the shoulder properly.
Make sure the key sits flat and firmly locked in place before moving on.
3. Decode the Key Cuts
Tap “Decode Key”.
The machine scans the blade and generates the biting automatically—fast, smooth, and highly accurate.
4. Insert the New Blank
Place your SIP22 blank in the same position as the original key.
Lock it in tightly to avoid movement during cutting.
5. Start the Cutting Process
Press “Start Cutting” using the default parameters.
The Condor Mini Plus II handles everything from here.
When finished, brush away all metal shavings—this helps maintain proper machine conductivity.
6. Flip the Key for Side B
Remove the blade, flip it over, reclamp it, and repeat the cutting process for the second side.
7. Test the Finished Key
Once the blade is fully cut and cleaned, take it to the car and test it in the lock.
Smooth insertion and turning—perfect!
