Thanks heaps The RF remote controls (315MHz for (late model)Japan/USA or 433 MHz for Europe/Aus/NZ) use the antenna amplifier in the rear window to receive the RF signal and send it to the General Module According this, can I say my key is in 433 MHz?

jochen 4 Report post Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) though you usually have to have proof of ownership blah blah blah if you buy from the dealer, whereas anyone can get an ebay key and get mr minute to cut it. assuming you know how to link it yourself Buying it is easy Getting it mechanically cut to open doors is easy Syncing the IR or Wireless remote control to unlock the doors is easy Programming the immobiliser to accept the new immobiliser chip (inside the key fob) as a valid chip is hard. This is where you need specialised software, the OBDII interface, and the knowledge how to operate it. Sure, easy if you know how, otherwise hard. So it is easy to get a new key to do everything except start the car.... Edited November 18, 2011 by jochen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
