How many remote keys

Hi

New on here, my wife got her Ex-demo 1.3MJ Lounge with 16"wheels, chrome mirrors, side strips with 500 badges, fogs and climate control in cha cha azure on Wednesday.

Brilliant car, we both love it.

One question how many plipper keys should we have, we were only given one plus a traditional key. Should we have two...dont want to go ranting at the dealer if we shouldn't!

Dan

Re: How many remote keys

Now that was quick...thanks for the answers you two.

Any idea on how much another plipper is going to cost?

Can you do that then? what information do they need to get a spare? I'm a bit paranoid about losing my main key.

It will vary from one dealership to the next, but circa £150.

Re: How many remote keys

as they have a rolling code ,not sure if 500 has a rolling code

Makes you sick, to only get one remote key concidering how much you pay for the car.

I would have got an extra one thrown in with the deal, because alot of the £150 must be proffit surly?

Yes rolling code & reason only the 'stealers' can do it is security! You cannot get a key without personal ID/proof of ownership. How many code 2 cars get stolen thesedays...none! How many non-code 2 system cars get stolen.

£150 is not profit.......infact its around £20-25.
