My car has one key..
« on: 02 June 2007, 11:02:13 »
and it's locked in the boot!!

The AA are on their way to retrieve it, and i'm wondering if i were to get a key cut, just the blade, would it be enough to unlock the door that's deadlocked or does the fob need programming?

i dont lose keys, but locking in the boot might happen again, and if i have a blade cut that will just open the door for me to get in the car, then that'll do!

any help appreciated! its a facelift gls, so no boot keyhole

Oh No What a nightmare.

I have the same problem One Key but i always double double check before i close the boot i have the key in my pocket, but its bound to happen to me one day i know.

I might get a key cut just for this problem happening, but i dont have a car pass i know you can get them and one day ill get my backside in gear and get one.

being a GLS i dont have an alarm, which in this case is a bonus!

being a postman, i'm forever in and out of the boot so it was bound to happen, they dropped into the boot out of my shirt pocket and i put an empty post bag on them without knowing, so i just shut the boot not ever thinkin i'd be dopey enough to have left them

i have them now, and he didnt have to smash any windows either, and he's given me a number of a guy local to me who can apparently get me a key, cut it AND program it, for a hell of a lot less than vauxhall, AND he can come to my house to do it!

Getting a second key isn't that expensive, and is worthwhile.  You need:

  • A blank blade (£7), cut by local key place (£3)
  • A transponder chip, from a key from Ebay
  • A remote fob (£5), from ebay (must be same make as your existing fob)

Then get it programmed to car via Tech2, which will need a carpass. The carpass is anywhere from £15 to £45, depending on how much of a robber your dealer is.

Hi, if you can get the key and fob, there is a very good independant, with a Tech2, in Widnes, his charges are very reasonable, you will need the car, the key and fob, and the car pass. If you are interested PM me for the details.

I doubt he can duplicate it.

Carpass will be required.

 :-? Timpsons had no problem copying the code from mine when I had a replacement cut.  They did say that from 97 it was main dealer job.  Lucky me and glad you got it sorted with no damage.  :y
