programming spare key

How easy is it to program a spare transponder to the car

Main dealer job I'm afraid

how come there are many ads on ebay for repgramming a key

Could do with being more specific mate.y.. main dealers will just rob you for what is quite a simple operation.

Try this.. this is what we do at work. As long as the key and transponder match... the dealers bit after fitting is a 2min job!!!

Fit the new unit (i take it its the one behind the glove box) and the new key fob.
Turn on the ignition and then press the large button on the fob for approx 10 seconds
Release the button and remove the key.
Now press the large button again
You should hear the door locks work.
(This often doensnt work first time so repeat as required.)

If your car has NO keypad immobiliser then follow the next instuction to enable the engine to be restarted.

Open up the fob from your old key and inside you will find a thin black silicone chip, remove this by gently prizing it upwards, now remove the same part from your new key and fit the original into it.
The engine should now start and the remote locking work.

If the original chip is damaged or you no longer have it the new key can be coded to the car by your Peugeot dealer for a resonable amount of money.

Hope this helps.

There are many threads on this board regarding re-programming. Some people have gotten it to work, others haven't

Indeed, soon as I can afford to gamble with forty quid I'm just gonna get the stealer to have a go...

"Don't suppose that includes a new key fob?"

"Don't be daft"

i tried the route of putting the key in the ignition and turning the key to the last point before starting the engine and i then help the big button in for 10 seconds and just get a message on the screen ENGINE IMMOBILISER FAULT, should this happen.

Bah,

Went to dealers for programming today (£35) of new key (£45) I had taken the chip out of the old key for the immobiliser.

They couldn't do it and recommended either replacement locks and/or replacement BSI.

I said neither.

Cost to get car back in the same condition it went in?

£35 FFS.

That's only for programming the remote for the central locking mate, it won't cure the transponder immobiliser problem.
