Re: 2 button key
Does the key you have light up when you press either button?
I was planning on getting a new blade for the key from my old car so I have a spare plip key, but you do find them in scrappers occasionally, they fit in your pocket so they're free.
The D8 immobiliser is turned off by unplugging the keypad while the engine is running so shouldn't be an issue as it doesn't involve BSI shennanigans.

Re: 2 button key
They Rekon if you press the button on the key whilst looking through the screen on a digital camera
you can see the signal,
its mentioned on alot of forums, so theyre must be some good in it,
as if thats true idont know as ihavnt tried it personaly,
if a remote key dont work for me ijust open it up and look for dry joints

Re: 2 button key
We'll when i got the key the button was missing not the rubber bit the metal bit underneath so I took it off my old key so I think the key is shagged

Re: 2 button key
The digital camera method will only work for the IR type keys, not the RF ones.
Try it on a TV remote control to see what I mean
