Automotive Lishi Tools, Picks & Decoders

Shop Original Lishi automotive tools for professional vehicle lock service at Noble Key Supply. This collection includes keyway-specific 2-in-1 picks and decoders for compatible vehicle doors, ignitions, and trunks, along with protective cases for organizing precision tools.

Automotive Lishi tools are designed for particular lock systems rather than entire vehicle brands. Before ordering, verify the year, make, model, keyway, number of cuts, lock position, and tool version.

These tools are intended for trained automotive locksmiths and other qualified professionals performing authorized vehicle service.

What Is an Automotive Lishi Tool?

An automotive Lishi is an application-specific tool that combines lock picking and decoding functions. Its profile is designed to enter a particular vehicle keyway, while its calibrated markings correspond with the positions and depths inside the lock.

A properly matched tool can assist a trained locksmith with:

• Authorized vehicle-entry service
• Mechanical lock decoding
• All-keys-lost key origination
• Lock diagnosis
• Replacement-lock identification
• Confirming mechanical key information
• Creating a working blade for further testing

Automotive Lishi tools do not program transponders, remotes, or proximity keys. Electronic key programming is a separate part of modern vehicle-key service.

Original Lishi 2-in-1 Tools

Original Lishi products are manufactured for specific keyways and lock configurations. Depending on the model, features may include:

• Integrated pick and decoder
• Clearly marked positions and depths
• Anti-glare finish
• Edge-cut or high-security keyway design
• Single- or twin-lifter configuration
• Eight-cut or ten-cut application
• Door, ignition, or trunk compatibility
• Application-specific working profile

Review the complete tool designation. A small difference in the model name can represent a different keyway, lock generation, or number of positions.

Lishi Tools Are Keyway-Specific

A vehicle manufacturer can use several mechanical keyways across different models and production years. A Ford vehicle, for example, may use FO38, HU101, HU198, or another system.

The correct automotive Lishi tool is determined using details such as:

• Mechanical keyway
• Key-blank reference
• Number of cuts
• Lock manufacturer
• Code series
• Vehicle production year
• Door or ignition application
• Tool generation
• Regional vehicle specification

Do not select a tool based only on the vehicle badge or the appearance of the key blade.

Ford and Lincoln Lishi Tools

Ford and Lincoln vehicles have used several mechanical lock systems. Automotive Lishi products may include tools for:

• FO38
• HU101
• HU198
• Other supported Ford keyways

FO38 is associated with select Ford eight-cut applications using H75-style key blanks. HU101 and HU198 support different high-security systems and vehicle generations.

Some HU101 tools are available in revised designs, such as the HU101 V3. Tool revisions may change ignition compatibility, access around the door handle, or another application-specific feature.

GM Automotive Lishi Tools

Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, and other GM vehicles use multiple mechanical keyways. Available Lishi products may include:

• HU100
• B111
• B106
• GM39
• B86
• B102
• Other supported GM applications

HU100 tools can be offered in eight-cut and ten-cut configurations. The number of positions must match the lock.

B111 tools may support compatible warded GM Z-keyway locks, while GM39 tools apply to certain older ten-cut systems. Confirm the key blank and vehicle application before ordering.

HU100 Eight-Cut and Ten-Cut Tools

HU100 is used across various GM and other vehicle applications, but not every HU100 lock has the same number of positions.

Available versions may include:

• HU100 eight-cut
• HU100 ten-cut

The spacing and calibrated markings differ between the tools. An eight-cut tool cannot be treated as a shorter version of the ten-cut product.

Verify the lock configuration, vehicle generation, and blade before choosing the tool.

Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram Lishi Tools

Select Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram vehicles use the CY24 keyway. Automotive Lishi tools for this system may correspond with Y157 or Y159 key blanks and eight-cut locks.

The collection may include:

• Standard CY24 applications
• CY24 commercial-truck applications
• Other Stellantis keyways

A CY24-TRUCK tool may be designed for a different depth system than a standard CY24 tool. Confirm whether the vehicle requires the commercial five-depth configuration or the standard application.

Honda and Acura Lishi Tools

Many compatible Honda and Acura vehicles use the HON66 four-track keyway. An Original Lishi HON66 tool may be listed for ignition, door, and trunk applications.

HON66 is commonly associated with the HO01 key-blank family, but Honda and Acura have used other key systems across different years and models.

Confirm the original blade and supported lock position before ordering.

Nissan and Infiniti Lishi Tools

NSN14 is used for select Nissan, Infiniti, and related vehicle applications. The tool may be associated with references such as:

• DA34
• SUB1
• X237
• Ten-cut Nissan systems

Some NSN14 tools are designed for door and trunk locks rather than the ignition. Review the listed application carefully.

Toyota and Lexus Lishi Tools

Toyota and Lexus vehicles use several edge-cut and high-security mechanical keyways. Available Original Lishi products may include:

• TOY2-Track
• TOY43AT
• Other Toyota and Lexus configurations

TOY2-Track tools may support compatible Toyota and Lexus 80K code-series locks and select Subaru 90K code-series applications. TOY43AT is associated with certain ten-cut TR47 applications.

These tools are designed for different lock systems and are not interchangeable.

Subaru Applications

Some Subaru vehicles share mechanical lock configurations with specific Toyota-style systems. For example, select Subaru 90K code-series locks may be compatible with a TOY2-Track tool.

Do not assume that every Subaru uses this application. Confirm the vehicle year, original blade, and lock data.

BMW and MINI Lishi Tools

Compatible BMW and MINI vehicles may use HU92 or other application-specific mechanical keyways. HU92 products can include twin-lifter designs for two-track lock systems.

Depending on the exact tool, supported positions may include the door, ignition, and trunk. BMW lock designs vary by generation, so match the tool to the vehicle rather than ordering solely by brand.

Volkswagen and Audi Lishi Tools

Many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles use HU66-based mechanical lock systems. Available products may include HU66 twin-lifter tools for compatible two-track locks.

Although HU66 is widely associated with Volkswagen Group vehicles, multiple lock generations and tool versions exist. Confirm the number of positions, supported lock location, and vehicle application.

Fiat Lishi Tools

SIP22 is used in select Fiat and related applications. Some Original Lishi SIP22 tools are listed specifically for door locks.

If a tool is marked “door only,” it should not be assumed to support the ignition or trunk. Check every listed lock position.

Door, Ignition, and Trunk Compatibility

Automotive Lishi tools may be designed for:

• Door locks only
• Door and trunk locks
• Ignition locks only
• Ignition, door, and trunk locks
• Another vehicle-specific combination

A vehicle can use different wafer counts or lock configurations between the door and ignition. Previous repairs may also leave the vehicle with mismatched locks.

Review the product application and inspect the vehicle before beginning service.

Edge-Cut Lishi Tools

Edge-cut automotive keys have their bitting along one or both outer edges of the blade. Lishi tools for these systems may include applications such as FO38, CY24, GM39, TOY43AT, and other manufacturer-specific profiles.

The number of cuts and depth system must match the lock. Similar edge-cut blades can use different spacing, warding, or code series.

High-Security and Track-Key Tools

High-security automotive keys use internal or external tracks rather than traditional edge cuts. Compatible Lishi tools may use one or more lifters to interact with the lock’s wafers.

Examples may include:

• HU100
• HU101
• HON66
• HU92
• HU66
• TOY2-Track
• Other track-based systems

Single- and twin-lifter tools have different constructions. Select the design specified for the lock.

Single-Lifter and Twin-Lifter Designs

A single-lifter tool manipulates one relevant side or track according to its intended lock design. A twin-lifter tool contains two working lifters for compatible two-track systems.

Twin-lifter products may be found in HU92 and HU66 applications. The correct style depends on the internal construction of the vehicle lock.

Do not substitute one design for another because the exterior blade profiles appear related.

Eight-Cut and Ten-Cut Systems

Cut count describes the number of positions represented in the lock and on the mechanical key.

The collection contains applications for both eight-cut and ten-cut vehicle locks. Examples may include:

• FO38 eight-cut
• CY24 eight-cut
• HU100 eight-cut
• HU100 ten-cut
• NSN14 ten-cut
• GM39 ten-cut
• TOY43AT ten-cut

Verify the count before ordering because it directly affects tool alignment.

Anti-Glare Finish

Many Original Lishi tools use an anti-glare finish. This surface helps make the calibrated depth and position markings easier to read under bright shop lighting or sunlight.

Keep the reading pane clean and avoid abrasive products that could damage the markings or finish.

Magnetic Lishi Storage Cases

Automotive Lishi tools contain precision components that can be bent or damaged if stored loose in a toolbox. Magnetic cases help keep multiple tools organized and protected.

Available case sizes may include:

• Small cases holding several tools
• Medium cases holding more than a dozen tools
• Large cases with magnets and retaining straps

Cases are normally sold separately from the displayed tools. Review the listing for capacity and included components.

Organizing Automotive Lishi Tools

A mobile locksmith may organize Lishi tools by manufacturer, keyway family, or frequency of use. Useful categories can include:

• Domestic vehicle keyways
• Asian vehicle keyways
• European vehicle keyways
• Edge-cut tools
• Track-key tools
• Eight-cut systems
• Ten-cut systems
• Door-only tools
• Ignition-compatible tools

Clear labels help reduce selection errors during service calls.

Lishi Tools for Authorized Lockouts

A correctly matched automotive Lishi tool provides a lock-cylinder-based option for authorized vehicle-entry service. This can be useful when the technician wants to work through the mechanical lock rather than use a long-reach method.

The appropriate technique depends on the vehicle, lock condition, available access, and technician training. Tool use should remain within lawful professional service.

Lishi Tools for All-Keys-Lost Work

During an authorized all-keys-lost job, a compatible Lishi tool can help a trained locksmith decode the vehicle’s mechanical lock. The resulting information may support the origination of a replacement blade.

Modern key replacement can also require:

• Key-code verification
• Transponder-chip selection
• Immobilizer programming
• Remote pairing
• Proximity-key registration
• Emergency-blade cutting
• Final vehicle testing

A Lishi tool addresses the mechanical lock. It does not replace the electronic programming process.

Matching the Lishi to the Key Blank

Key-blank or test-key references provide another way to identify the appropriate tool. Examples associated with products in the collection may include:

• H75
• H94
• Y157
• Y159
• B106
• B111
• B116
• HO01
• DA34
• X237
• TR47

Cross-reference the blank with the vehicle and physical keyway. A single blank reference may have exceptions across model years or lock positions.

How to Choose the Correct Automotive Lishi Tool

Before ordering, verify:

1. Vehicle year, make, and model
2. Mechanical keyway
3. Key-blank or test-key reference
4. Edge-cut or track-key design
5. Number of cuts
6. Number of lock positions
7. Depth system
8. Door, ignition, or trunk application
9. Single- or twin-lifter design
10. Tool version or generation
11. Regional vehicle specification
12. Whether the locks have been replaced

A year, make, and model lookup is a useful starting point, but inspect the vehicle’s actual lock and blade whenever possible.

Caring for Automotive Lishi Tools

Precision tools should be inspected before and after service. Look for bent lifters, damaged tips, loose parts, debris, worn markings, or other conditions that could affect operation.

Recommended care includes:

• Keeping tools clean and dry
• Storing each tool in a protective case
• Avoiding excessive bending or twisting
• Protecting the reading pane
• Keeping heavy tools away from the working tips
• Removing damaged tools from service
• Organizing products by keyway
• Never forcing a tool into a lock

Unexpected resistance may indicate the wrong tool, lock damage, debris, or an incorrect application.

Professional Training and Lawful Use

Automotive Lishi picks and decoders should only be used on vehicles that you own or are legally authorized to service. Professional locksmiths should verify ownership or customer authorization and document the service when required.

Licensing, possession, and transportation laws vary by jurisdiction. Users are responsible for complying with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
