Imobilizer in key.

Recommended Posts

Just had a spare key cut for the rado at timpsons and got quoted £50 to get the immobiliser coded in my new key.... Jesus Christ... Any better places

I got a key cut and coded at Harewood House a couple of years ago for about £25-£30 iirc, including the blank. That's probably the figure you should look at? The key snapped a few months later (luckily not in any locks), so I just swapped the transponder over into a new blank and got it cut at an independent.

if you have an old key you might be able to split the plastic apart & remove the coded chip so as to put in the newly cut key ;)

 

i found this out when i changed my ignition barrel 2 years ago - when i ordered it VW assured me the keys werent coded but they definitley are

If you have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted you could just tape the original key inside the ignition lock cowling and have another key cut. Plenty of engine transplants have the factory immobiliser defeated anyway.

Think my bro has this done. I want a separate key though
