How to get a new spare key?
Hi all,
This question has probably been raised several times, but here I go How much hazzle is it to get a new key made for my car? Getting the blank key and get the blade made is something I should be able to get done here in Norway, but how can I get the key coded for my car? I have only one key at the moment.. |

Suggest you post on your local FB page as I seem to remember someone saying that could do transponder chips. You can reprogramme used remote boards with Toaf, I've done it a couple of times. Contact Sebastian Tovås who I've got listed as a Toaf owner, not too far away in Bergen. If he doesn't know the procedure I'll gladly help. Keep well ps Love the new 1.8 thread, most interesting. |

Seems like Rimmers supply the complete key with cut blade and transponder chip (based on VIN) which will work in the lock barrel and start the car, but needs a T4/TOAF session to make the remote work. I have sent them an email just to make them confirm this. |

Found the Rimmer's site a bit confusing with many options for keys but if I only have to programme a new remote board then that's easy enough. I've got a T4 too but that only wants to play when it's in a good mood, and I find Toaf my first choice for diagnostics. Keep well |

Just got this confirmed from Rimmer's. So then it is basically hope to get a car without keys to work. I see that Rimmer's list two different keys with different frequencies. I guess Rimmer's can assist ordering the correct one https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001786 Last edited by beinet1; 20th October 2020 at 14:49.. |
