Although I have 2 flip keys for my Octavia II I am tempted to get a third key to hide on the car "just in case" as I have with many previous vehicles over the years.

Intensive searches on here and elsewhere indicate that I have 3 viable options:

Get a new key from a dealer -

You can only have 2 keys programmed for the alarm and immobiliser on the new octy IIRC?

You can have up to 8 keys with Immo IV.

Be wary of used keys for Octy II as it is designed to not accept them. It is also designed to only accept Skoda ones.

I got one off Ebay for under

Thanks for replying guys.

Dealer key it is then.
