If using an aftermarket ecu (syvecs) is it possible to use this key on a uk 03 sti or does the system still need to recognise the chip in the key to start regardless of what ecu is fitted?

Yep totally possible. Im using one in an 02sti with aftermarket ecu. The chip is no longer in use. All you need do is get the key cut and away you go

Even with a transponder. There is a way these keys can be made to work. Although it would mean Loosing one of your o/e keys.

PM if you get stuck with it

So if I have an 02 WRX with sigma alarm are you saying there is still a chip in the huge OEM key?

Sorry to bring this up...again...!
I have been in contact with the seller in the link and he has told me that shipping would be $9 + $4.50 for each additional key.

I want one but I have a uk 2000 classic I think v5?

I know about the transponder in the oem key but will this one need trimming to fit and will a high street key cutter be able to do that for me?

Thanks

Dave

As i said in a previous post, you will need to check what size the key is as there is a difference between a new age key and a classic key (new age being longer).

Yeah, seen that but I was hoping it was just the door locks that would be the problem.
I've just ordered one so hopefully I can get someone to sort it!

No Versions on UK cars Dave.

My titanium key does ignition and door locks.

Original key and Ti key side by side;



It's only the key blank length that is longer, so as long as it's cut from the tip backover then it should be fine.

Ryan, ProdriveRules on here, sorted mine out for me.

Ha! Cheers, still a noob.

I seen that Ryan has done a few but I'm in sunny Scotland so IF he could do mine, I would have to send it down!!
I found this
http://www.rs25.com/forums/f105/t428...-gc-locks.html

But not sure if I would like to tackle it myself!

When I bought my car, I didn't have a spare. So I went to http://www.denniscommon.co.uk/ £4.50 for a spare key supplied and cut.

My cut, Ti, key was returned to me by post.

I'm safe though, Ryan gets lost on his way home, so he's nee chance of finding my house.

Thinking of getting one of these
Big Bargain Aluminum Pill Box Case Bottle Holder Container Keychain: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games Big Bargain Aluminum Pill Box Case Bottle Holder Container Keychain: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games
and putting the key's transponder inside so that I can use the Ti key.
The blue one should match the key nicely too.

Edit: I bought it! Looking forward to trying it now, I hope the aluminium container keychain will not act as a Faraday cage and the transponder will still work...
