So, I'm looking to get myself a spare clicker key. I'm looking at this sequence of events....

Get a new fob body, with an old chip unit in it (Abran has one I know of) Not sure how easy that is to obtain usually.
Get the new fob body blade cut to match the ignition.
Get the chip programmed to match the electrical gubbins/ signal etc.

I will need it programming to match my car, so the car has to be next to a programming machine.

So, if my sequence of events is correct, does anyone have such a machine that can program key chips, in my area? Payment in beer or other contra-band style items always considered.

I'm north of New York City, by about an hour.

Thanks all.

 

Try to borrow a Nanocom or Hawkeye from some kind hearted D2 enthusiast as they can be used to program the key fob. Also get from them the 'know how' on how to do it.

 

I have a Nanocom and used this video for the instructions for re-programming an extra fob:

 

If you plan on having a discovery in your life, save your pennies and buy a nanocom. But you should probably buy the remote from me first, they are in short supply...

Just kidding

 

That's a bit of a drive for me..... Would love to visit Chilliwack. My friend had a bike in the UK called Chiliwack, we never did know what the word meant.

Did the fob program easily? Go right first time?

Looks like such a nice thing to have.......

 

It was straight forward and simple.... it took only a few mins. I can't believe some dealers or shops charge 1/2 hour or even an hour to do this work.

My family and I love Chilliwack. We had just moved from Portland, OR to Chilliwack last year for my work assignment. It is 100 km from Vancouver.
