Hello all, can anyone recommend where to get a key programmed in the Derbyshire / South Yorkshire area please

does the central locking work via the key lock and button near the handbrake? You may need to resynchronise the remote, IIRC you need to press the unlock button 4 times in succession. If not unlock then it's lock, I cant remember which way around it is.

Have you checked the fuses? 36 iirc Also, make sure if you buy a new fob to change the transponder over

I haven’t checked the fuse
Is that all that fuse does?
Bought a brand new key that needs to be cut with electronics inside
Will this need to be coded to car
My current only key looks new too
Am I right in presuming that even if remote doesn’t work that there is something in the fob that disables the Immobiliser ?

Cheers

Transponder chip in the case, do not lose it

You need to swap the pcb from your old key, you cannot use a new key without it being coded to the car

I see so the transponder disables the immobiliser
The rest is for c/l

You resync the key fob as follows: lock the car and leave for 2mins, unlock with key in drivers door and put key in ignition and turn on then off, then press either of the remote buttons 4 times in 4 seconds.
Resynch is complete.
You may have to try this 2 or 3 times
