A method is disclosed for detecting the wear of a cutter in a key-duplicating machine, the cutter being provided with cutting sections to obtain bitting cuts on a key and being put in rotation by an electric motor. The method includes measuring, during at least one cutting cycle carried out by means of the cutter, the values of current and/or voltage absorbed/required by the motor for rotation of cutter and/or motor torque values exerted by the motor. The values thus detected are used to determine if there is wear of the cutting portions of the cutter and/or to quantify the wear of the cutting portions of the cutter.

Electronic key for a motor vehicle having a containment casing, which houses: at least one processing and/or control unit, at least one memory unit where at least one recognition data is stored to control at least one function and/or system of a motor vehicle, at least one transmitter and/or transceiver unit to communicate with at least one control unit which is mounted in/on said motor vehicle and which is configured to command, following the receipt of the recognition data, at least one functionality and/or system of the vehicle, at least one receiver/transceiver which is connected to the processing and/or control unit and is configured to receive at least one command signal directly from the outside. The processing and/or control unit is configured so that, upon receipt of the command signal directly from the outside, intervenes on at least one of the components of the key itself.
