Will my fob-less 986 keys start the car?

[TrumpyAl]

If it's the same as my Valet key (which has a button and an LED light) then it will start the car just fine. ('02 S)

Neither of the spare keys I have here have led or buttons I'm wondering how to figure out if they have transponders without tripping the immobilizer.

Open them up and look for the transponder pill.

I'm very aware of what the transponder pill looks like in a fob, please see my original post before pasting answers that I've obviously already searched for before posting.

This is my other spare key that appears to have a provision for a transponder pill but doesn't turn the ignition.

I have another cut key with no abilities at all. (except to make more copies with if necessary). My main key was stolen and previous owner can't locate the other




I assume this is the "spare" or "valet" key but it doesn't work in ignition


Thoughts ?

Wow, friend..... kinda biting the hands feeding you, yeah?

I went and read your post again and I see no indication that you "obviously searched" for anything. I find stone's comment perfectly reasonable, and a genuine effort at helping you.

If you ask me, you seem to be pitching questions with obvious answers:
- what do you do with a key that doesn't turn the ignition? Well.... ummm.... what do you WANT to do with it? It doesn't turn the ignition, so.... uhhh.... ? (See how obvious the answer seems? )
- does anyone know if this key has a transponder in it? Gee.... try opening it up and having a look? (Oh.... wait, now I've gone and set you off like Stone did... but it sure seems like the most helpful response so far, doesn't it? )

The crazy thing to me, (and I realize I'm probably treading on another topic that'll likely inflame you again) is that you seem to be ignoring the biggest question of them all:
- now that somebody has keys to my car (and that somebody isn't me, or anyone else I know), how am i going to keep them from STEALING my car, as easily as they stole the keys?

I'm just sayin'.....

"I do not have another key with a fob on it but I do have two extra cut keys that came with the car".

Are you very aware?

Obviously already searched for? No, you didn't. The answers are there.

You'll find that our members can be terrific resources. Like Maytag suggested... don't bite the hand that feeds you. Don't be a d*ck.

You owe someone an apology. Ya know... to curry continued good favor?

Have a nice day!

While your out buying a new fob, you might want to pick up this too. 👇

The picture literally is a fob, that was my only point, specifically said "I do not have another key with a fob" as you quoted.

Where is the disconnect ?

F-off. I'm sick of wasting time trying help people who know it all. If you didn't like my advice, all you had to do was ignore it.

I'll close my thread and account this weekend. Got better things to do with my time.
