New Leon Remote Keys

[Trident]

Hi there.
Firstly I must just say how impressed I am with the new leon.
I collected my TFSI earlier today and can't complain about a single thing, performance is great, looks are great - really pleased, especially as it was the first time driving the TFSI - when I ordered it back in September all I could testdrive was the TDI.

My only problem is that it only comes with one remote key fob and I could really do with another for the wife, (the other key is not remote - just a manual key).

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get another remote key made up from the dealer?

any help much appreciated.

Im not sure mate, but i think someone said its close to £100 quid just for one for the ibiza, so im guessing its gonna be along the same lines!

Wow - thought it would be a bit expensive but thats pushing the boat out.

Maybe I'll get the wife one for her birthday! until then looks like I'll be the only one driving the car.

thanks for the reply

I bought a spare flippy remote key for the wife. The cost of the key was £106 all in which included key + vat + labour for programing it to the car. It took about 4 days to arrive from order and 30 mins at the dealers to program. I did get a discount off the price off the key as i ordered it from the dealer i bought the car from. I hope this helps.

When i got a spare remote for my cupra it was only £35 for the key plus fitting, if my memory serves me well, £53 in all. Mind you, that was 3 years ago.

dont ever ask for a peugeot 206 one

local dealer just quoted mother in law for a new remote spare key and blade all programmed and ready to roll

guess ....














£312 inc vat

im told latest Ford ones arent much cheaper

these ones that come up on ebay - can they be reprogrammed to another car?

Its mainly just the body of the unit - then you need a new blade and reprogrammed.
Is it possible? They go much cheaper....

My old boss just bought an FR after dribbling over my LCR for the last 18 months

I know how to check whether a key is right or not for a new model, and when I tried to explain how to open the key up to check the part number code and frequency by flipping the key out and using a screwdriver to split the 2 halves he looked back at me a bit blank.....

So, anyone on here with a new 3 button remote able to post the full part number etc? Will then be able to have a dig around on ebay and see what turns up - almost certainly the same as late VW remotes.

When I bought a replacement flip key for my Passat off ebay I got a new blade, cut to suit, programmed immobiliser to car and sorted the remote locking all for £10 from a local car security specialist. No need to rip the immob chip out of the non-remote key

A friend of mine who has a new A3, ordered a remote key from Germany, and it cost him 175€.. i guess it'll be near that for León..

BTW, is there any chance that i can use Porsche Cayenne remote instead of the Seat's ? I need another remote, and i'm thinking to order the porsche one. I heard all the VAG's uses the same key cut and electrical system.
