Factory immobiliser

[Cloggy Saint]

What's the story with replacing the factory immobiliser 'keys'? I assume they are all individually coded to each vehicle. I need to get a spare and was wondering if the dealer is able to provide such a thing. Does anyone know?

Have you still got the original?
If not, have you still got the original documentation? There should be some sort of code in there they can get replacement keys, if not then I doubt there's much else you can do.

I know over here in the UK, some of our cars were fitted with an alarm made by scorpion, and the dealer couldn't replace any of the parts for it, not even a keyfob.

Cheers Simon, do you know if this part is listed on the etk? I just scoured it but couldn't see it there.

I think when it comes to alarms, there were so many different types used, and also they would change all the time, so finding parts for them will prove difficult.

mine had a standard fit alarm immobiliser, and when i replaced dash took it out and replaced with new, to my shock and horror it only cut one circuit and whilst playing i bridged the connections and started car.
