Does anyone have experience getting a spare key for a 2013 Octavia? I still have the original, I just think it would be prudent to have a spare.

Yeah there should be a pair of them. Unless you bought privately and they lost them. Dealers always seem surprised when I have traded in a car and still have both keys....

Is it a Mk.II or Mk.III. I had a blade cut without the transponder for my Mk.II to hang round my neck when surfing. Cant do this with the Mk.III , you have to pull the door handle to pieces just to open it with a blade. Any decent locksmith will have the transponder and blade and will be able to program it off the exsisting key, at about 1/2 the price of genuine.

MkII. So the car would operate OK with just the blade? I'd just lose remote central locking...Originally Posted by Antiplastix

No you need the transponder keyed to the ignition to start the car, a blade will only open the door.

No, it's just to manually unlock the door. It won't start the car, & if you try, things will go badly (so i've been told)...
