Re-programming keys

Post by gumby6371 »

As I only have 1 key for my car and 2 for the breaker is it possible to get a new blade cut and reprogramme a key for my 2.2?

I assume I can use Planet to learn the transponder frequency but what about the remote function?

You can use PP2k to get the car to learn the r/c element, the transponder is AFAIK only programmable once.

Haven't done this myself, but I believe virgin transponders are available which will allow you do do what you're asking.

Thanks gents for setting me straight, just need to see if I can get a key cut now if I'm not letting them fleece me for the transponder set up!
