So I've lost my car keys, searched high and low and no look, is it possible to just buy this and get the central locking programmed by someone with a tech2????

Never mind just heard them rattling around, turns out buster the puppy had them in his dog bed lol.
Still curious, would the above have worked??
i dont think you can reprogram a used key rusty may know
Used keys can't be reprogrammed.

I think if you had a complete set keys barrel and the immobilizer ring over the barrel and door barrels it may be possible, but couldn't be 100% on that.
Can you not replace and program the transponding chip to the ecu?

The problem with the Keys now is they sealed units and you would have to get a replacement case off eBay and Tucpal says they are crap you would also have to get the right chip and it's soldered to the Circuit board
I would suggest to leave it into the hands of an auto locksmith but that's just money money money

lookers quoted me £87.50 for a new key cut and programed
i still need to sort that out i will get it done next week when i have more time
That's a better quote than my mate had last week, he threw his keys in a strop and the key split in half. The key was fixable but the chip was no where to be seen, cost him £90 just for the chip and reprogramming :O
