Might have to give one a try mines a 54 plate sti but has a seperate transponder for the alarm, if it dont work will make a bling necklace lol

 

If using an aftermarket ecu (syvecs) is it possible to use this key on a uk 03 sti or does the system still need to recognise the chip in the key to start regardless of what ecu is fitted?

 

Yep totally possible. Im using one in an 02sti with aftermarket ecu. The chip is no longer in use. All you need do is get the key cut and away you go

 

Even with a transponder. There is a way these keys can be made to work. Although it would mean Loosing one of your o/e keys.

PM if you get stuck with it

 

Cheers turbo, will keep you in mind. Gotta wait till pay day, car needs big servce, brakes, clutch and cambelt. A key can wait lol

 

So if I have an 02 WRX with sigma alarm are you saying there is still a chip in the huge OEM key?

 

Yes transponder chip in the key

 

Thanks mate!

 

Sorry to bring this up...again...!
I have been in contact with the seller in the link and he has told me that shipping would be $9 + $4.50 for each additional key.

I want one but I have a uk 2000 classic I think v5?

I know about the transponder in the oem key but will this one need trimming to fit and will a high street key cutter be able to do that for me?

Thanks

Dave

 

As i said in a previous post, you will need to check what size the key is as there is a difference between a new age key and a classic key (new age being longer).

Yeah, seen that but I was hoping it was just the door locks that would be the problem.
I've just ordered one so hopefully I can get someone to sort it!

 

No Versions on UK cars Dave.

My titanium key does ignition and door locks.

Original key and Ti key side by side;



It's only the key blank length that is longer, so as long as it's cut from the tip backover then it should be fine.

Ryan, ProdriveRules on here, sorted mine out for me.

 

Where do you guys get your keys cut. A lot of local key cutters round here won't do car keys ?

 

Ha! Cheers, still a noob.

I seen that Ryan has done a few but I'm in sunny Scotland so IF he could do mine, I would have to send it down!!
I found this

But not sure if I would like to tackle it myself!

 

When I bought my car, I didn't have a spare. So I went to http://www.denniscommon.co.uk/ £4.50 for a spare key supplied and cut.

 

Lol I'll post you my key

 

[QUOTE=53;11231495]Lol I'll post you my key [/

Good point

I don't think I would send a cut key by post! That would be silly

 

You wanting just a spare or a Ti one Stu?

Send it up, I'll need a drive S202 home fr, erm, return address though.....

 

[QUOTE=Davec30;11231548]My cut, Ti, key was returned to me by post.

I'm safe though, Ryan gets lost on his way home, so he's nee chance of finding my house.

 

Nah the Ti ones just look sexy

 

Isn't Ryan I'm worried about! I would have to put a return address in with it and have you seen some of the dodgy posties up this neck of the woods!!

 

how much are these keys delivered ?

£50 ????

 

$41.20 so about £26.00 delivered.

 

You need one really...keep the OE as a spare then

 

The good old days

 

Thinking of getting one of these
and putting the key's transponder inside so that I can use the Ti key.
The blue one should match the key nicely too.

Edit: I bought it! Looking forward to trying it now, I hope the aluminium container keychain will not act as a Faraday cage and the transponder will still work...

 

I was looking for something like that! You can let me know if it works!

 

Depends on the exchange rate, mine was £21 ish delivered.

 

Tesco's at Lakeside has a Timpsons right outside, they were happy to cut my TiT key whilst I perved over the new TV's

 

Showing at £28.80 on the link i posted on the 1st page but as micky said a year or so back they were around £20
