The Lishi HU92 v.3 is the Direct Read version of the eight-cut BMW and Land Rover keyway. It is listed for BMW, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce with the large grille, MG3, older Range Rover, older Z4 and 3/5/2 series vehicles, across ignition, door and trunk positions.
"Direct Read" is the important part: it reads depths directly instead of requiring the same pick-and-scale routine as the standard HU92.
Which locks this tool fits
Confirm HU92 and then the version. The standard, the Single Lifter and the v.3 Direct Read are three different tools.
- v.3 Direct Read: this listing.
- Standard HU92: the non-direct-read version.
- Single Lifter: listed for older BMW and Land Rover.
- Newer BMW: HU100R v.3 is a different keyway — check before ordering.
How it compares
| Tool | Keyway | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| HU92 v.3 (this page) | 8-cut, Direct Read | BMW, Land Rover and listed applications |
| HU92 standard | 8-cut | The standard read |
| HU92 Single Lifter | 8-cut | Older BMW and Land Rover |
| HU58 v.3 | 6-cut | BMW 3 Series ignition, door and trunk |
| HU100R v.3 | 8-cut | Newer BMW |
In practice
Direct Read is most useful when the lock is hard to dismantle or the working space is tight — older BMW and Range Rover door and trunk locks are the common cases. Read the eight positions directly, record them, and cut from the reading.
Decode-then-cut workflow
- Confirm the keyway on the key head or cylinder face. Do not infer it from the vehicle badge.
- Insert and tension. Match the tool to the lock position you are working on.
- Read every position as the pins set, and write the depths down before removing the tool.
- Cut the key with the correct blank and a key machine or the factory cutter pliers.
- Test and record. Try the key, then keep the depth reading for the next job on that vehicle.
Common mistakes
- Ordering the v.3 Direct Read when the job calls for the standard HU92 or the Single Lifter.
- Using HU92 on a newer BMW that takes HU100R.
- Confusing HU92 with HU58 — the 3 Series 6-cut application is a different tool.
What this tool does not do
It works the mechanical lock. It does not program immobilisers, clone transponders or bypass electronic security. If the vehicle has no exposed mechanical keyway at the position you need, this tool has nothing to read.
Who it is for
Professional automotive locksmiths and technicians who already work with a tension-and-read method. If you are new to Lishi tools, practise on a removed cylinder before using it on a customer vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What does Direct Read mean?
It reads the depths directly rather than requiring the standard pick-and-scale sequence.

No. They are separate listings; the v.3 adds Direct Read.
Does it cover the trunk?
Yes, ignition, door and trunk are listed.
Which BMW models?
The listing names older Z4, 3/5/2 series and other applications. Confirm the keyway on the vehicle.

Buying guide & support
Ordering, Shipping and Aftercare
Buying the right tool
Match the keyway code in the title to the vehicle or lock you are working on. The cut number (5-cut, 8-cut, 10-cut) describes the bitting geometry, not tool quality.

Returns
Return unused items in original packaging within 30 days of delivery. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 3–7 business days of inspection.
The product title states the keyway and the vehicle families it is built for. Because one brand can use several keyways across model years, confirm year, market and lock position before ordering — contact us if you are unsure.
Package contents are listed in the “In the box” section when the supplier provides them. Tools are supplied in the manufacturer’s packaging with the decoding card where applicable.
