Keys

[Wobbly]

hello
i am looking to change my key to a flip key, i see there are the standard units on ebay, but im not a hundred percent sure if they are the right ones. also they need programming as i understand, is this an expensive job? and how do i go about it??

Thanks
Wobbly

Go for it mate, I done this 4 years ago and programmed it as per the owners manual - so easy, plus the range of the flip key is 10x better than the original key

yeah i wanna get it done, did you buy your key for ebay??? was it hard finding somebody to cut the key??

Yeah I got mine off ebay, think I paid 10quid and got it cut at Timpsons
Put the transponder (glass tube) from my old key into the new one and used the red key to programme the new one. All worked fine once I realised I had to keep the drivers window open during the programming!!!!

now in the process of finding a key on ebay!!!!! i dont have a red key with mine, i have one key with two buttons on and another key with no buttons on!!! will rember the window!!!!!

Thanks wob

yes it will mate but that is just a case so u will need the transponder to operate the remote locking

If you get this key then remove your transponder from one of your keys and place it into this new one, job done - then program it

Not the remote locking, you'd need a flip key with the separate radio transmitter for that.

The transponder is a passive device (no battery) that is interrogated by the immobiliser reading coil that surrounds the ignition lock. Without a matched transponder the car will start then cut out immediately and the immobiliser light on the warning panel will light up.
