spare ignition key

Please note just because the shop has a PIWIS does not mean they can code the key to the car. The code they need to program the immobilizer can only be received from the dealer and the dealer will not just give these codes out.

If you just need a key to unlock and start the car, these you can get from a lock smith and upper end key cutters as long as you have a working key. They just read the chip in your key and emulate it into another chip. It will not remotely unlock and lock the car, trunk, or windows. It will unlock the doors manually and will start the car if inserted in the ignition and turned.

There is a cheap solution: Take the transponder pill out of the key, and tape it to the inside of the ignition trim piece with electrical tape, and just make a copies of the key blade for $30 bucks via keysinthepost.com or a competitor (it's simple: you just upload them a pic of your current key blade and they mail you a new blade). That's all!

Works great. I just moved the pill from my only key to the trim piece and it start every time. I just ordered 2 emergency keys from keysinthepost.com. just under $50 bucks US.
