Key / remote
« on: 25 July 2007, 09:08:18 »
If I wanted a spare key with remote is it as simple as obtaining a blank key and remote section from eBay, getting the key cut and and sitting in the car with the ignition on (Original key) and pressing the lock buton on the remote pad to sync the remote?

Appreciate it won't start the car without the transponder chip but really only want the key as a spare while i'm at work..... seems it would be very easy to shut the boot with the key left in there (Say if you were loading up) on a facelift and not be able to get back in - no boot lock / release button and doors still locked.....

Nope sorry, needs reprogamming with a tech 2

All a 'cut' key will do is open the doors, manually

Both the transponder and the remote fob need programming to start the car, remote un/lock the doors respectively.

I guess even that's an option, OK the alarm will go off if you can't 'plip' it, but you could reach through to the boot through the ski flap and manually release the boot lid.

Certainly a 'get out of jail' card
Obviously wont help you when you've lost your keys down the drain ;)
Meet up with 'The Boy' sometime, he can do the tech2 stuff for you, then you will be all singing and dancing.

Or get it done in Nottingham once the Tech2 re-location programme has been completed.
