For those of you who have lost your master key, or just want another slave key cheaper than Fiat can provide, just a reminder that Timpsons (UK cahin of Key cutters) can copy transponder keys.
I've just had one done and it cost UKP20, and took all of 1 minute, including the cutting. And it works.
Its also worth pointing out that Fiat themselves can offer the key cloning service but they don't advertise it, as not all dealers have the equipment to do it. However, they had two goes at my key and claimed they couldn't read it whereas Timpsons had no trouble at all. Make what you will of that!
( believe this information has already been posted previously, but it doesn't hurt to reiterate. Replacing a master key is an expensive business, and is not necessary if all you want is an extra key. Does anyone have any information if the master key is required for anything other than new key programming?)
