Replacement fob This is the fob i used personally, worked well but did not have the correct immobilizer transmitter in my case but the remote worked: Since this also doubles as a code scanner, I'd recommend finding a cheap old laptop for this. Old 32 bit Windows 7 or XP laptop is preferred as it is more difficult to install the drivers for techstream on newer 64 bit windows as you have to do it manually. Techstream software v12 as a lot of other versions wont contain the utility menu needed to program the fob and transmitter: (Smart key is easier because it does not need to be cut, otherwise the process is similar but of course requires a different transmitter.)

You might get lucky and the guy might be nice and cut it, problem is they have no way to charge you for just cutting the key.
