Evening all - I am a new member, with a question to which an answer would be greatly appreciated. My youngest son has his eye on a Cinq Sporting at the moment, but the vendor does not have the red key, nor the key code.
Now, I know that this can be rectified by fitment of replacement ECU, locks, red and blue keys (at an approxiamate cost of £750 at a Fiat dealership), but this would rather screw the value for money side of the vehicle!! One guy I spoke to regarding the problem told me about a company who advertise on e-bay, and who reckon to be able to supply the necessary keys, and re-program the ECU to match. The cost of this service is £170.00
My question is, has anyone either used this service, or know of anyone who has ?? - was everything OK, or have other problems occurred ??
The company in question is Car Audio Services, Sheffield.
Many thanks for any info.
