Flip Key

[wigz45]

Was after a second flip key the remote locking, but seemed to have misplaced the plastic thing with the code on it?
Seen a few people selling the keys on ebay, would i just buy one and take it to my dealer and then get the blade cut? bit of a noob! thanks

 

[techie]

There isnt any usefull info on that bit of plastic anymore anyhow. Also dealers dont normally cut laser cut keys they are ordered from SEAT to your chassis number and come complete with the lower half of the key.

I'd take it to a cobblers which cut keys too. I had one cut and programmed a while back

 

[spikeydoo]

do the Ibizas only come witht he one flappy key then?

 

[AJSanderson]

Come with two flippy keys but only one has remote locking.

Doesn't that just suck!!!

 

[wigz45]

I only got one flip key and one just normal. Techie any idea on a price?

 

[Dave217]

i think they are about £130 for the key and programming, not 100% though

 

[Octane2097]

i only got 1 flippy key too
the other is just a boggo key no remote or anything!

 

[Dave217]

yeah i got the same, one good key and one useless key,

am i right???, if you open the car door with the useless key and dont turn the ignition on within i think 20 seconds the alarm goes off

 

[techie]

Yeah if the key has been locked with the remote and gets opened with the std key the alarm will sound if it doesnt get an ignition signal.

i think they are about £130 for the key and programming, not 100% though

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[spikeydoo]

can not confirm the price...

but are you still able to buy a key off the bay & get a blank blade & a new blank transponder & get it coded to your car?

Where's techie at

 

[techie]

You need a new flick part, blanks can be bought off ebay, few places doing them from a high res digital image of your key.

Yep, I got a second flip key from ebay (I got the exact same part number as was stamped on the inside on my one) this cost £18 and came with a blank key blade. I then found an ebay shop that can send you a key blade that is cut from a high res pic of your key for £7. fit the cut blade, swap out the little transponder from your none remote key, program the new flip key by reading your owners manual and your all done for the grand some of £25. just make sure you get the key blade sent to a friends house as you don't want people with your key info knowing where you live or work.

Good thinking!!

We have key guys that do all our cars so if i got it they would sort it for me too. They are approved by VW to do our entire fleet as many of our drivers are so clueless they are forever losing keys.
