2nd. Key Niggle

[DUVVAJ]

I perhaps foolishly have given my alternative key (mechanical type) to my girlfriend. She occasionally puts or retreives items from the car. However unless she puts the key in the ignition and turns the engine on, the alarm will sound when she locks the car up. Is this correct ? To rectify this she must unlock the car and turn the enginne over. My dealer says this is normal, but it does seem daft, though it is probably a security measure. Does anyone else experience the same ?

the non remote key ? yep, have 15 seconds to put key in the ignition on the mk4 ibiza

You only have to put the ignition lights on, not turn the engine over.
I'ts a security feature so that tea leafs cant just screw the locks to get in without triggering the alarm

I've got a second flippy(off ebay) made up ready to be programmed when I can find a dealer who won't fleece me for 10 minutes work!!

If you buy the flippy key from a dealer then your talking anywhere up to £140
