Flippy key

[gms]

Hello

I am surching for a folding key for my tdi topsport, but as i have found on the board it seems pretty costly, Is it possible to use the original key blade so I only need to order the remote part of the key and no new key blade?

Thanks

I think the blade has to have the hinge on that attaches to the fob. Its part of the mechanism I think.

keep your eyes on ebay, as i picked a new one up last week for £30 with a blank blade, and it came with programing instructions, so just need to get it cut tomorrow.

would'nt pay the £100 seat want though for one through them.

Yeah, you can but the keys blank from ebay for about £20 so the cost is really only cutting and programming. I was thinking about getting another one done so let me know if you get any prices for the work from a dealer?

Heres the ebay link: http://tinyurl.com/akyjh

Have you had a quote for cutting yet Ant? Where are you going to get it programmed too - Seat dealer?

 

[Ant FR]

probably get my mate to get it done at the dealers for me, think its about £20. programing can be done yourself if you follow the instructions.

That ebay link is the one i bought. cool

only if the key fob uses the right frq band as some people have found top their detrement that they have got the wrong immob freq range.

ant have u tried the key fob to see if it unlock and locks?

I was thinking of using the key blade of my spare key, its a fob key without remote, I never use it so i can save a few pounds on that, but I don't know if it is possible to do, and what is the price for only the remote part

I have searched ebay but there are no flippy keys for sale


Thanks

AS FR rush already said, if its a normal key fob, then the blades are different. it won''t the the flip key.

ok, now i understand, my english is not that good, i have found some keys on ebay, but they are for a vw golf mk4, it also works on 434Mhz and it looks the same, so i suspect it is the same,

@ Ant FR: How did you check the frequency of youre original key

 

[Ant FR]

it states it on the side of mine in the small print

Ok, then i have a problem because on my key it says 433Mhz, I have found on the web that in Great Brittan the frequency is different so i can not by from english sellers on ebay
