Hi Kevin,

Just to clarify, is the problem you're trying to solve starting the engine or operating the remote central locking?

The transponder chip deals only with engine immobilisation.
The printed circuit board and buttons deal only with central locking.

Hi Simon

i've got a working Key with a transponder chip, but my second spare key needs one as it's missing completely

I would drop a PM to Big Russ - he is a key guru and should be able to help you.

I'm in much the same position so would be interested to know the outcome.

You”d need to either visit Russ or send the EWS unit from your car. Russ has specialised equipment to program the chip with the correct rolling codes in the EWS (car’s security system). There are cheapo alternatives (EBay mainly) that simply copy the code from an existing key but they will fall out of sync rendering them useless.

There are others who do keys, may be one nearer to you, I’m not on my laptop to check. Click on the link in my signature below and check the services the club traders offer.

I don't think there is anyone near you that offers it to be fair. I can do it but I'm Midlands based.

No worries! If you can't find anyone closer give me a shout. £40 for a transponder supplied and programmed.
