My son would like a spare key for 02 reg corsa which he bought with only 1
key.
Dealers seem to charge about £160 for a key which seems a bit steep.

I have found blank keys with transponder chips for around £10 on ebay, but
these would need cutting and I guess the car would need some sort of
reprogramming to use the new transponder as well, which I believe auto
locksmiths can do.
But I haven't found anywhere that supplies the section containing the
remote switches/battery holder/circuit board that slides into the key body
? Can these be purchased anywhere, and will this require reprogramming as
well, or just the usual resync procedure you use when the battery is
replaced ?

Thanks
Tony


I wanted a spare key for my Astra and found my local cobbler kiosk could
supply, cut and program it from my original for £25.
I actually had the same thing done at a Car Boot sale for £20. Worked fine.
