Will have to be citroen to do it as it will need a transponder for the immoboliser unless you have a keypad immoboliser.

As jaytee said it has to be cut by Citroen as it needs the transponder chip unless it has a keypad immobiliser

You can get a copy of your key cut and programmed at a timpsons locksmith.

If you do not have the official car manual that came with your car with your car keys immobiliser code you will need the key to be sorted at Citroen I was told... that would cost £150 (if they have to find the immobiliser code) However if you have the code it will cost £100.
Again another rip-off via citroen.

if you have a keypad you can cut your key anywhere as it dont have the chip. If you have the chipped key anywhere that has a key programmer can do it ie wilco..... they cut ur key then put it in a little device that reads the code then put the cut one in and it writes the code into the chip job done. £25.

No you don't. You just have to take your key with the chip in it and they find the code from it and duplicate it on to a new key.
