Programming key fob

[CHR15G]

does anyone know how much it is going to be to get the spare key to my valver reprogrammed?

is a renault dealer the only place i can get it done?

cheers

 

[Bryan]

usually in excess of £100

 

[CHR15G]

that cant be right....£100 sounds like a huge amount just for reprogramming!

 

[Pete]

about £80 plus VAT if I remember correctly

 

[CHR15G]

maybe i wont bother getting it reprogrammed if its going to be that kind of price!!

will just have to make sure i dont lose my working key - famous last words!!

Thats ridiculous! When some gits robbed my keys for my RT, it only cost me a tenner to get my spare clifford fob re-programmed.

That really does take the pi**!!!

theres a bloke at the local market who decodes stereos, mobile phones etc for a tenner. will see if he can do keyfobs or knows anyone who can.

Ive just had a new key from renault for my 4week old 172 because i lost it

They charged me 25+vat for labour (programming) and the rest was the cost of the key. Total cost was £70 inc VAT

 

[cliopower]

you can get a key from ebay and pay an hours labour to have it coded

 

[CHR15G]

ive got the key, just need it coding. £25 doesnt sound too bad.

will go in Monday and see what they say.

can they do it there and then or does it take longer?

 

[cliopower]

youll have to book it in but you may be able to wait while they do it though!

 

[Mike@Rentech]

The book time for a key coding is 0.4hr the place I work for charge 57 + vat so it will cost you 26.79 all in at my place.

 

[CHR15G]

anywhere near cardiff mike?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

nomate miles away, but they cant charge more than book time anyway

 

[CHR15G]

will pop down now then - just finish me cup of tea first!!!
