Hi mate I have my own locksmithing business, be happy to help, give us a call tomorrow after 8am will get something soughtd for you! 9410 0766

Good on you dhuiej, for offering to help  will  keep you in mind for my own jobs.

Big frank , price of progress mate ( or is it progress?) we had a late 90,s beemer, that only came with one

key , so I thought it was wise to get a spare, haha, 800 big ones for a key and for coding it.

Purely on principle , even If I had the dough , I wouldnt pay that for a spare key.

( got a spare key cut for the gq last year, at one of those key booths at garden city , $12 , I think it was) little steep I though

only took him a minute to cut it.

 Rang for about a new key and was told $600 plus $200 for recoding . Went to a wreckers and bought a new barrel and key for $150 then took it to ford to get programmed worked out a bit cheaper but a lot of rooting around , worst bit was I was selling the car that weekend so it was all a mad rush and then of course 2 weeks later found the keys

1000 bucks for a key ...... you can a buy life in Asia for $1 ! And we wonder why Ozzy is going down the gurgler.

 Cut us another key for late model dunnydore $165

 Will give you a ring this morning

has the  keyless remote but don't lose it $500 to replace, that was in 2010 could be dearer, thankfully they give you a spare remote.

Been in the same boat, but had a key spare. But to replace the WRX's key with a chip in it - $800!!! Get fked.

Also tried to help a poor sod at Port Hedland Airport Carpark. New Keyless entry car with a flat battery after 2 weeks in Bali. His key wouldnt work because the car was flat. No physical key to get in. Simply jumping the car wouldnt work because off the difficulty getting under the hood because the bonnet impossible to open from outside the car.

Decided (he did) to smash a small window to get in, opened the boot and jump it. All this did was scrable the computer and now nothing worked. Called the local dealership but was a Sunday. Called a support network and was told all needs reprogramming and key need recode. Poor guy and family left stranded at Airport facing a bill for a smashed window and reprogramming of $1200.

Technology makes our life easier???

I think sometimes not.

if you want a bit of a backup, you can actually "record" your electronic key-

ive got a mazda and it works for me, use your mobile phones sound record function, and press the button on the key to unlock your car. the phone should actually record the electronic frequency! (same as your garage remote) then i have a spare key (non electronic) which I now stash in the car because I got caught out once before.

If you're out camping or fishing and drop your keys iin the water, you can use your phone to unlock the car, just play the sound bite, then jump in and grab the spare key to drive home again! dunno if it works for newer models, but worth a shot, give it a crack!!

 I just tried it and it doesn't work for me. I have a 2012 Falcon and a Samsung S4 phone.

Cheers
