I have a 99 AWD and need to get a replacement key cut. Problem is the key has the immobilisers transponder built in.
Just rang Subaru and they want £90+ for the key, cutting and re-coding to the immobiliser unit.
Is there any other dealer or way to get the key cut and 3rd party sync'd to the immobiliser.
Thanks.
(I'm sure this has been asked before but is buried on top of other treads.)
Hi,no mate.I just gave him the key and the computer he had, read the code(dont know how?-magic lol)and that was that.
He said £50 or 2 for £75 bargain.
I had Timpson cut mine and ok he had prob with the immobiliser chip (as they had a recent computer upgrade) it cost £50 and then I had to buy a Sigma alarm fob which I found on eBay
Anyone know how much Timpsons charge for the recode? Already have the key and a blank chip.
Depend how friendly they are. Some will do for the price of the cut. Although, depending where you got your "blank" transponder chip from, they might noit be able to do it at all.
I've never come across a key cutters that could code my transponder, only tried about 5 places. Thats mostly because they are all standard chips. they will use their own no prob's, but, as mentioned, it'll be 50 quid for the privilege.
Mine are original blanks that fit the original key, believe it or not from Poland. Cost £1.25 each including delivery. Got two cos if one was dead I couldnt care less at that price LOL
Its unlikely a key cutters could do it then. Their machines can only read the standard transponder, not write to them. Probably best to go to subaru now. You've got the key and chip, thats the expensive side sorted.
