I've been an idiot

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
