Right, before everyone moans that this is just another Flip Key thread, please have a read, and then cast judgement.
Ive just bought a 2002 Alhambra TDi (115)
But, it only came with one Key, Part Number 7m3 959 753, siemens, 433.92mhz.
So, I popped to my local SEAT dealer and asked how much for another Key, they said over £100.
Ok, fair enough I thought, I will see if theres a DIY I could do, before I give in and buy from the dealer.
So here I am, looking for a way to save £s, and get a spare key for my Alhambra, without paying over £100.
If I buy another 'flip key' from EBAY, and get the blade cut, so it matches my locks, then will I be able to programme it to operate my Remote Central Locking?
I am under the impression, that 'My Original Key' goes into the ignition.
Then the EBAY key (with cut blade) goes into the Drivers Door Lock.
A sequence is followed.
and
I end up with a Spare Key, that will operate the Remote Central Locking only.
If that is the case, then Im ready for my next enquiry.
The 'EBAY' key will need to be programmed, so it can start the car.
So, I will need to remove the 'Glass Transponder Chip' and replace with a 'Virgin Transponder Chip'
Now this is the part that gets me......
What is the best way to get the Transponder Chip Programmed?
and
How much roughly?
I dont have the cars S.K.C (Security Key Code).
So, am I right in thinking I will have to visit my SEAT dealer, and pay them, to give me my S.K.C?
Any ideas How much? (If possible)
Once I have this code. I can then take the EBAY Key to a Locksmith, and ask them to programme it for me?
or
Would it be best to get SEAT to programme it for me, when I get my S.K.C?
Any help would be appreciiated, costs etc?
Thankyou
