Title: New Flip Key
Post by: Fin on January 25, 2022, 16:52
Hi, I don't post often these days. RL gets in the way far too much  >:(
Anyway, I just bought on of these, and it works a treat:

I have two original keys, one of which locked the car, and the other unlocked it. I had it cut at a local independent locksmith, at a cost of £8.00, did the usual dance and door slamming a couple of times, and it works a treat. (Comes with instructions which work).

I can't remember which colour insert I have in my original key, but I get the impression that this key will work for either.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else having similar problems  ;)

Can you still see the red LED through the pin hole?

Not sure which key you mean, but I  could see the led on both originals  also on the new one.
It is a complete replacement,  not just a new case.

@Fin
That should be helpful, certainly a step up from my putting the blade from my broken cased key into a flip case and swopping the electrical gubbins.
