Title: My keys need replacing?
Post by: Sir Sideways on 25 July 2008, 16:51:58

Hi Guys, the locking button on my key will not work. After taking it apart, I found the weld to be cracked. The door unlock and boot open buttons both work.
 Could I replace the fob with a new one, use the current blade and chip part with a new fob without having to get it recoded?. The other key fob has broken welds on the battery holder so it will not work at all. Ideally I could do with two new fobs.  

Many Thanks

Jim

the fob needs programming to the car - needs tech2 or a descent autolocksmith with the correct equipment
check locally with autolocksmiths I got mine (fob) and programmed to car for £45 iirc

Sounds like it just needs a bit of soldering iron attention to me, i fixed my own that way...

A different fob will need programming via tech2.

You could send it off to Martin Imber who does a repair service on them

I will vouch for Martin's work . He has done both mine .. excellent work and damned fast as well.

Worth a PM :)   :y :y :y
