Key fob repair recommendation

H All,

I inherited a really mangled and broken Key 1 which the PO had replaced.

So, I had two working keys and one broken one.

I sent the dodgy one to remote fob centre in the UK (ebay) to see if it could be repaired.

For a very reasonable price I now have a working spare key 1 in a new casing.

They couldn't get the red light to work but the key remote works perfectly.

No connection with them, just passing this on.

I though the becm would only let u use two keys, if a replancement was got it would be key 3 or 4

As long as the key number is different it is fine. It has a rolling code for each key. If a key is duplicated then you constantly have to resynch where that key hasn't been incremented.

Maybe he now has 1,3 and 4?

That is usefull to know.

No, I now have two times key 1 - if I sync one of them the other one doesn't work until I re sync it . ... if that makes sense.

Perfect sense. That's the expected behaviour! Always good to have a backup though, especially when they're £160 to replace!
