Its is not possible to buy a key from ebay that starts your car. Thank goodness this is the case otherwise car criminals could simply order a key from Ebay and drive of with your new Golf.

Cars built post 95 use tranponder key technology and requires the key to be prgrammed to the cars ECU.

Main dealer charges are very high but a good car locksmith should be able to do this for you at a better price.

that's not what he was saying though....

all you need to do is code the key to your immobilser.

i tried to use car locksmiths for mine, but when i got told they wanted a fee of £50 i decided i'd do it myself.... and my business was born thereof.

i encourage anyone to DIY this, it's not complicated and i like to see monopolies, such as this held by dealers and locksmiths alike, broken.

anyone who's competant with a PC can code their own keys, you just have to have the 'get up and go'
