For many automotive locksmiths, managing transponder inventory has always been a headache. Different brands, different chips, different frequencies — and drawers full of stock that may or may not be used.
The Xhorse Super Chip XT27A and XT57B changed that game.
Instead of carrying dozens (or hundreds) of individual transponders, you can stock one powerful universal solution. These super chips can be generated to simulate a wide range of automotive transponders, including:
- ID46
- 4D (60/63/67/68/70/72/83/82 etc.)
- ID48
- 8C
- 8A
And many more supported types
With proper Xhorse programming tools, the Super Chip becomes whatever the job requires.
Real Feedback from Working Locksmiths
This isn’t theory — it’s field-proven performance.
Inventory Game-Changer
Many professionals say the Super Chip dramatically reduces the need to stock rare or slow-moving transponders. When a customer shows up with an uncommon vehicle, instead of saying “I don’t have that chip,” you simply generate it.
Faster Workflow
Locksmiths report smoother key generation and cloning processes when paired with VVDI tools. The chip writes quickly and programs reliably, especially for common platforms like Toyota 4D and VAG ID48.
Perfect for “Out of Stock” Situations
Whether you’re in a shop or on the road, the Super Chip shines when you don’t have the exact chip in your inventory. Generate, program, cut — done.
Reliable on Tricky 4D Types
Even for 4D variants that some consider unstable, users have reported consistent success when properly generated and programmed.
Professional-Grade Technology
Experienced technicians agree — this is not a gimmick. It’s a practical tool designed for real-world automotive key work.
