Title: Spare key help please
Post by: SJKOO01 on 25 August 2011, 18:24:24

I have an ex cop Omega. Only have one key for it and up to now it's not been a problem.

However I know need to get a spare for it.  Needless to say I first went to the local stealers to see just how much they wanted for getting a spare sorted.... Came out thinking I'd may as well take over the debt of a small country! :-?

Fortunately I have a spare fob, so I'm guessing that could be reprogrammed, along with getting a blank horseshoe blade.
Unfortunately though I don't have a pass for the car, hence where the problem is.

Can anyone offer advice on how or if I can get the key blade cut and where I could get the fob reprogrammed without paying a small fortune?

Though would prefer if I don't have to travel miles to have to get it done.

Thanks.

There are companies on eBay that will cut you a key using the key code from a Car Pass, I know you can have a key copied at a locksmiths but you'll still need your pass for the code (H****) to programme the fob to your car.  :y

First of all you will need a Car Pass for the Key Immobilizer Number etc
Buy a blank blade (with the horse shoe shaped top) from ebay. Most decent key cutters will cut the blkade for you.
You will need a Chip that sits in the Horseshoe, which then needs to be programmed with a Tech 2 when you have your Car Pass.
Once all that has been done you should be avble to Re sync your Fob to the car :y

Cheers for the advice  :y .

Guess I'll have to buy a pass from the dealers tomorrow for the job.

Anyone know who is the nearest person is on here with a proper Tech2, in order to reprogram the immobilizer.  I'm based in the Shropshire area.
