Description
KYDZ Cube 2
Smart Key & Remote Generator
A next-generation key programming and chip cloning device for professional automotive locksmiths and immobilizer specialists. NCF29XX work, chip identification, frequency measurement, current leak detection, PKE antenna location and motorcycle AKL - in one unit.
Everything the white Cube did - and considerably more
The original Cube (white) was an app-driven universal remote generator that specialised in motorcycles and 5C keys. Cube 2 is a hardware generation jump: built-in colour screen, rechargeable battery, expanded chip identification engine, CAN / LIN / K-Line interfaces, and a full NCF29 module for working on encrypted NXP smart keys.

Working on NCF29XX keys - in depth
The NCF29xx family is the encrypted chip found in most modern smart keys today. Cube 2 includes a dedicated NCF29 module in the app, built around three core working functions.

Which chips the family covers
The NCF29xx family includes the following variants, built on the Hitag2 (46), Hitag3 (47), Hitag Pro (49) and Hitag AES (4A) crypto families:

How do I know if my key has an NCF29xx chip?
The honest answer: open the key and read the marking on the chip. There is no reliable model-year lookup - manufacturers swap variants mid production year. Real markings seen in the field:
Coverage by manufacturer
NCF29xx-based keys appear across these manufacturers:
Cube 2 is not the only way to do NCF29xx
Let's be straight: other tools reach NCF29xx keys too. The real difference isn't the chip list - it's how you get to the chip, and how many devices you carry to cover a full working day.

Solder-free where an adapter exists
What we sell here is the Cube 2 unit only (including the adapter board in the box). KYDZ offers additional adapters sold separately. To be precise about it: solder-free work is possible where a matching adapter exists - otherwise a direct connection is required.

Technical specifications
Who this is for - and who it isn't
A good fit if
- ✓You're a professional automotive locksmith working on modern smart keys
- ✓You want one device covering NCF29xx, remote generation, chip ID and diagnostics
- ✓You service motorcycles and need Honda and Yamaha AKL
- ✓You diagnose fob faults and want built-in frequency and current measurement
- ✓You're comfortable working through a phone app
Less of a fit if
- ✕You need a device that works fully standalone with no phone
- ✕You only need NCF29xx and nothing else - a dedicated tool will cost less
- ✕You expect every function unlocked out of the box with no Premium Authorizations
- ✕You're looking for a replacement for a diagnostic scanner or professional OBD platform
What locksmiths actually ask
Included as standard: smart key and remote generation, garage door remote generation, comprehensive chip identification (including 22K), 46 / 4D / 4C / 48 cloning, Hitag2 EE 46 and Hitag3 47 EEPROM work, frequency measurement, leakage current detection, and PKE antenna location.
Require a Premium Authorization: NCF29xx operations (cloning, Smart Renew, encrypted data read), advanced EEPROM families (Hitag AES 4A, Hitag Pro 49, Megamos 48, TIRIS RF430, WFS 5C, MQB), 8A chip key calculation, and OBD programming (MQB, MLB, 5C, 5D, Harley).
Every one of these is marked Auth Req in the 53-function table above, so you can see exactly what is included and what is not before you buy. We would rather you know this up front than discover it at the bench.
Cube 2 - the next evolution in key programming
Intelligent diagnostics, advanced chip technology and a full NCF29 module - in one compact platform that replaces a drawer of single-purpose tools.
* Some functions require a Premium Authorization (Auth Req) or a separate adapter.
* Most functions require a Bluetooth connection to the KYDZ app. Offline mode supports chip identification only.
* Coverage depends on the specific chip variant and key type, not on the manufacturer name.
