I purchased a key off ebay ( UK ) for $ 45 aud, it cost me $28 to have it cut & $90 to have it programmed by a local business ( Newcastle ) I was told the same story as so many others even the largest key cutting shop we have here told me you need to have a viper key cutter to do the job and no one has one in N'cle, I went to a little key cutter in Gosford sth of N'cle and his words "yeah no probs mate I can do it''

I live in Perth and I'm having key dramas. I have a 2001 525 e39. I thought the battery had died, but now the doors/trunk work remotely, but the engine won't start. Not sure if the contacts for battery have been disturbed, stange. I also have a transponder key I need cut and coded, can you help me with this.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Jack,
Noticed this is a very old post I hope you are still repairing keys. If so I have an 02 X5 needing some TLC.
Cheers

I do too. Keyless entry is only working sporadically with my primary key. Secondary, hardly used key works all the time. I noticed the other day that when I turned the key to start it it took a good 2-3 seconds for the starter to actually engage. Almost like they key wasn't supplying the right code to the ECU. How much are keys in the US?

Hi guys, yes I still repair these keys. No problem at all. I also make new keys with central locking remote diamond key including transponder chip to allow the engine to start. Please text or call me for more info 0411 722 756.

For the N American guys, Scott repairs the non-working keys for 50 Bux. Linky. Open the page and click on the key fob link. He also repairs the GM and other bits. He can be contacted via e-mail or phone (listed in the link). Very nice and knowledgeable person.
