Technical Lost only key. How to program immo

[zippeyrude]

I've lost the only key to the panda.

I can get a key cut without the chip with a photo I have, but need to be ablec to start the car.

Any recommendations for getting a chip programmed (apart from main dealer), or immo bypass?

Thanks

Programming a new manual key is a trivial task, Open and start the car

Ask a auto locksmith about

All keys lost for a panda 169

There's quite a bits of software that can do it, but it would cost more than asking someone to do it

You don't need the key code from Fiat it can be read from the body computer directly



And it's fairly easy to open and decode the mechanical part



If your car has remote opening and would like this function, it's not as easy and very expensive £250+

No remote door opening , only the key.

Since the last update the key has been found!

Cool

I bet you get a spare made as a clone key is £35-50

Saves the stress

Definitely.
Any recommendations on where?

Not really

Anywhere that does transponder keys it's a very easy job

Timpsons have been used by people on here price varies and ability to do it

If it was me I just Google or use yell

And phone for a price for a cloned mechanical key for a panda

Often the key can be coded via the OBD port

Timpsons were asking £90 for a basic clone key very recently.

Prices use to vary from store to store

But I have just noticed they now have a set price

Looks like someone pocked £10 or they just charge more for not booking online

Either way it's naughty as its over double what someone payed in 2021

Pandemic inflation?

Today's price list

The none branded remote is still competitive though

Timpson's have gone very expensive of late. They wanted over 20 quid to replace a watch battery, I went online and bought the same battery that they fitted previously, £2.50 for two and fitted one myself.

I had a key cloned from them about 5 years ago, iirc was 65 quid. £79 is a mild increase by comparison.

Wondering if other folks will be cheaper?
