So does that mean we can buy cheap keys off ebay and get them coded to our cars without getting fleeced by the maindealer.

Yes, it does indeed mean that. Many of the transponders need to be replaced as they can only be coded once but the price of an ebay key + a new blade and transponder is usually much cheaper than a new key from a dealer and much less to code by me

Hi Ben, is there a particular type of key with a certain frequency to buy?

I know to code 2nd hand keys using Vaux-Com i think they need to be of a specific frequency.

Not a stupid question at all Yes your keys do need to be recoded and while Skoda have to do them with an online connection, I can do them using your Secret Key Code (SKC) which I will retrieve from your car.

hmmm, can you do Audis? My wife has a 2002 A3 and one of the keys has died. Audi want well over £100 for a new one
