programing a new key

[yellow160]

just wondering if theres any software i can buy to program my new keys transponder chip?

and also read the key code from old key or ecu?

got one key and nowhere up here does them apart from main STEALERS!!

Used opcom to do my vauxhall so wondered if my citroen had a similar piece of software

Might be irrelevant to you but I went to just a normal key cutting place, and he had a machine what read the code out of my old key and put it in to another one for £20, Just check around your local key cutting places.

If you have the ecu code --this on a palstic credit card and is 4 digits --then there are lots of machines that can code a new key to your car with this code no. .
this code no. allows full acees to all functions on the ecu that are user adjustable .like fitting new ecu or transponder or keys
without that code --no
a dealer will supply that code for around £30 if you do not have it
yes, if you remove the chip from the old key+ fit to new key or stick it to the transponder ring around the steering lock that will work .

cheers for info, no one up here has key reader so its main dealer or nothing, and i dont have the card... i did think about putting transponder chip into the transponder ring... not ideal tho

Does anyone know how to get the transponder out?

carefully with a small screwdriver. It's quite small [ ]

Most cars with remote start as part of the alarm will require the transponder to be stuck to the pickup ring, as John said.

should pull out from a slotted plastic part on the key. Can mangle it quite easily though

I meant from the key fob, I can't seem to shift it to be able to put it in one of these - I had the separate fob with one big button and one small.

yes, I know what you meant I think. You want to remove the transponder from the key. As I said, it's tiny. Use a small screwdriver to prise it out. Be careful.

Not a saxo key obviously, but even this is larger than the standard saxo transponder.

I wasn't able to see your picture mate.

I want to keep my key as that isn't broken, it's my old 2 button fob that has broken and I wanted to upgrade to the above flip key with 2 buttons (lock and unlock) is it possible as I know the circuits are different etc, I know people on here have done it but I was unable to see how?

I had one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-2-Button-Saxo-Xsara-Picasso-Berlingo-Remote-Key-FOB-case-Shell-NEW-/170851253873?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27c7873e71#ht_3067wt_1273

I am talking about the key fob here mate, as in the top black box which I am sure I have to take out as it won't be supplied on an empty case as per the above ebay advert!

Do I just need to move the battery and touching plates underneath?
