flip key

[cu51pra]

i wana get a flip key for the ibiza just need to know wot mhz the key to car is?

 

[acidstrato]

be warned bud

i looked into this but it seemed as if there'd be space problems while the key is in the ignition because the blade is on a spring

so it will foul the steering wheel


i never actually tested this but comparing my key with my friends blade flip key for his Golf and it just looked obvious

 

[cu51pra]

did you ever stick his key in the ignistion?

 

[Cupra_Jeff]

I've got one and its fine

 

[acidstrato]

well no cos it wouldnt fit lol

but in his golf u see, the ignition barrel points in a lower direction than the ibizas
so the cover part of the key points downwards

but in the ibiza the barrel is right behind the steering wheel


if u wanna try and see then let me know cos id love one myself as they do look mint compared to our keys lol

its just after the cover, a new blade, cutting the blade and coding it if it doesnt work the way in the car manual...its not so cheap so i left it

 

[acidstrato]

I've got one and its fine

have u got any pics?...strange request i know lol

especially in the ignition

 

[cu51pra]

i cant see why it wouldn't fit il buy one anyway and if it dont work it will go on ebay easy

 

[Cupra_Jeff]

ok i've taken a few photos, how do i post them up any ideas ?

 

[acidstrato]

need to host them on the internet

either on personal webspace if u have any or on something like photobucket.com

 

[cu51pra]

do the buttons work aswell or just the key?

 

[acidstrato]

hmmm so it does fit, can plainly see why i was concerned though...must be 10mm clearance max!


think i might have to get one myself tho, they are cool
especially as i only have one key


theyre always on ebay and so are replacement blades, just concerned about recoding a coded transmiter chip

 

[TimD]

Anymore info on these would be great, prices, coding, etc

 

[Cupra_Jeff]

do the buttons work aswell or just the key?

yes the buttons do work.... not sure how much it cost etc as it came with the car when I bought it. I'm sure the guy from Seat told me it cost around £80 to have the key cut and the transmitter coded, for that price I wouldn't bother its smart but not that smart !

I also have an flipkey for my Ibiza. You have to use the transponder of an Alhambra. The Leon one uses an different frequency

All remotes use 433Mhz in the UK, in fact over most of the world.

 

[cu51pra]

the ones on ebay are 434mhz have they got it wrong then?

 

[flashbsd]

sounds like it, 434 is a bit too close to 433 for radio waves!
