Can the imobliser transponder chip in the key be reprogramed for a diffrent car?

I only ask because that I have some old keys from previous felicias that have been scraped, and a spare set of blank flip type HAA keys without a transponder chip.

Just wondering if the old chips could be reprogramed and then used in the blank keys, for my current felicia.

Thanks.

Yes, the transponder chip can be reprogrammed. You need special equipmenr - a transponder programmer.

Thanks, I will have to have the blade cut at local key shop, who has the programmer (I have asked about having a clone key made before)

I just need to get the chip out of the old key, seems to be glued in well.

Soak it in thinners for 20 mins it will come out then. Also different chip between petrol and diesel cars and not swappable

I have a bad vibe over the "Soak it in thinners for 20 mins" part...

Why.. we have been doing it for the last 20 years. Not melted anything yet

On the Felicia there will be a F on the key blade, which is short for festcode or 'fixed code'. What this means is that all of the keys have a fixed code which doesn't roll onto a new code when the engine is started. Rather than removing the chip from he key you can have an auto locksmith clone the current working key to a different key so long as that also has an F type chip fitted.
