Additional (New) iKey

[iagree]

Hi all,

I called TCM@BT, new iKey need to pay abt S$290+ (immobilizer + key + program + ship from Japan).

If without the key , it is abt S$200 + - (immobilizer + program + ship from Japan)

So expensive....!!! How???

Regards.

You can use the manual key to lock, unlock the car and start the engine, and save $290.

Luckily I paid the spare iKey only $201 in Jun 08..

Bro, you lost your key or simply backside itchy want an additional spare key?

You can use the manual key to lock, unlock the car and start the engine, and save $290. 

hi clarence

that is not what i want to do.
so, am thinking to get a iKey without the key, only go for the immobilizer.

Oic, then $290+ is cheap lar, better go buy quickly. If your gf change her mind and want spare Latio, then you are in big trouble.

It is not advisable to go for just the i-key without the spare manual key embedded in the i-key.

If the i-key battery runs flat when your girlfriend wants to unlock the car, there is no spare manual key to unlock and start the car.

Alternatively, she can take 2 "keys" with her - the i-key and spare manual key, but it may be a little bulky to carry 2 "keys".

hi clarence

Yes, what I meant was that it is inconvenient to have a separate spare key and i-key.

It is more convenient to get the i-key with integrated spare key.

[iagree]

Yes, the full set.

It's your choice whether to spend the $290 or just live with the inconvenience. 
Actually my intention was to get a spare manual key, but think was quoted abt $160 (manual)  vs $201 (ikey), so I just take the ikey.
