Disaster: Can anyone help please?
 

Good morning: yesterday i was working on my 190. Howver, i have lost the only key that i have. The car is locked and blocking in my garage.



Is there such a thing as a universal key / tranponder to allow for opening and moving? Any help /suggestions greatly appreciated as at a loss what to do other than keep on searching but after a couple of hours not looking good.


Thanks and regards
Steve

The only thing I can suggest is you contact one of our forum traders who can cut and code you a new key if you send off your ecu. Not sure whereabouts you are as your profile just says ‘Little England’ but if it’s down South, I can recommend cb750chris in Fareham.

Hi again: panic over. My youngest lad is not allowed at the gym due to Covid closure so he has borrowed a load of weights etc long term which he has stored in the boot of the 190.


After finishing what i did yesterday he got the key, did his weight training and forgot to put the key in the usual place.


All is well that ends well.


I think i will at least get a key with correct profile made such that i should be able to get in but without the transponder unable to start the car - better than nothing.


Oh for the days of the good old 'FS' type simple key!

Treat yourself to one of these Steve.....LINK

They cut the blade from a photo of your key, and in the event of any future key loss, you can at least get into the car and move it, or have the electronics sorted to make it a full blown spare.

Brian :D

Little England - Pembrokeshire??

Hi Brian, have you used that company? I could also use a spare, lost mine when we moved house, but can't see how they can cut it just from a photo?

They can. I "lost" my spare key for my Daytona and ordered a key from a photograph. It works perfectly.

Actually, I am paranoid about some scum stealing my keys and the bike, whilst I am away.

The day the replacement arrived, I went out for a ride and found the original spare key hidden in my motorcycle boots. :o

Squirrels and nuts spring to mind. :getmecoat:

My thanks to all re your advice.

Little England is just south of Stoke on Trent
