Keys and Cobra KeyFobs .....help!

Post by Chris G » Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:45 pm

Hi folks,

I have a 06 Lotus Exige which has only one set of keys and one Cobra Keyfob.

I do not have the Lotus supplied code card which provides the individual PIN and the unique serial number for the key and fob :roll:

Can anyone tell me how easy it would be to get a new keyfob and key for the car and how much this is likely to be? I have heard that you can program a fob in but I would still require the PIN I believe.

Answers on a postcard!

Cheers

From reading lots of SELOC posts like this previously I think your best bet is to contact a local Cobra specialist alarm fitter/maintainer who may be able to help.

Hi

You can get them on ebay.

I got a couple of spare ones a while back, 20 quid for the pair. You will need to program them yourself, and to do that you will need to get the pin for the stereo somehow...

Cheers

G-Man,

Don't know if iam missing something - but why would I need the PIN number for the stereo? I thought I just needed the PIN for the fob and the serial number for the key?

opps, sorry no...the pin for the alarm (to program the fob to the alarm)...not the stereo, I think I must have been thinking of something else when I posted this :oops:

Ahh when you said pin, I thought you ment something like the manual override stick thats needed to program the alarm on an S1. Without that programming remotes is difficult.

Oh, and I had keys cut for £3 in Timpsons. Vauxhall Corsa I think...
