Hi all, newbie here.... got a key problem.
Have ordered a new remote CL key for my 2002 Punto. The original got lost. The cost of the key is a bit painful, but even worse is the dealer says it will be "a couple of hours" workshop time to program key to vehicle.
Couple of hours???!!! At dealer service prices????!!!!
I can't believe it's that much of a job so am shopping around. Can an auto locksmith do the programming or does it need some technical programming code specialist gizmo thing that only Fiat dealer have?
I can't stand the thought of paying even MORE especially if it's a small job.
Anyone got round this before? Or does anyone know a mechanic/locksmith in Oxfordshire who can do it?
cheers, delph
