    Hi, were you able to get a spare key sorted for your car? I might be able to help out with this.

    I have done these for customers before on a Touareg. Only did a non remote key which worked the doors and started the car, I now have some aftermarket ones to try out as it isn't possible to get a blank key from the dealer for these as KESSY keys are precoded to the car. As you are in Brisbane there isn't much I can do for you though..

    Check eBay, get the right key, get it cut by locksmith and if they can't make the chip working with your car, come to me I can.

    My key broke recently, cause the idiot mechanic reefed on the key to start the car when either it wasn't pushed in all the way or the steering wheel was locked.
    Anyways, the blade broke off. Car still started if the transponder was touching the blade as it was turned. Didn't need to be touching after that. Currently have the blade stuck in the ignition and the transponder in my pocket.
    They'll be bloody well fixing it as well as some other things too...

    I keep the key for these in stock. They aren't genuine keys so don't have the logo on them but most people don't care about that. Also have heaps of the transponder chips too.

    If they don't replace it ( Even though they should) I can get replacement key blades and key shells for a lot of these keys. If you go to the dealer they will try sell you a complete new key when it's not needed.

    Hi guys,
    Any recommendations for a good locksmith in South Eastern Melbourne that can replace an Octavia key? Still have one but no idea where the other one is. I have an MY11 Wagon.
    Cheers,
