Post by: benedetto5 on November 05, 2009, 06:01:36 PM
Hi guys, this is my first post. not sure if i posted in the wrong section :(

i just passed on monday, my brother let me drive his car but he gave me the key and told me i can duplicate the whole remote so that i won't need to use the key to unlock/lock the car and start engine. any idea where i can do it cheaply??

Thanks in Advance!

go duplicate the key itself lor. You dun need the remote that much if you are the secondary user actually.

Either go back to Tan Chong or check on Soxxi (http://www.autokey.sg/). Will cost quite a bit to duplicate Latio's key..

i happen to make the same inquiry early this week...

from TC, intelligent key set (with manual key inside) can only be made at TC Lok Yang... costs around $285++, manual key (with microchip inside for immobiliser) alone costs around $185++, programming included.

from a Soxxi station located at Marine Parade food centre, intelligent key set (with manual key inside) costs $300, more expensive than TC so didn't bother to ask about manual key  :nonod:

was told if car has TC alarm, gotta get the whole i-key set coz alarm will go off if we use the key to start engin  :glare:

Hi,

The manual key is the spare key given together with the i-key ?? i lost my spare key and would like to get another one but didnt
know it is so expensive at $185 !!!

I saw a Nissan ikey at a Key and lock shop in jusco, JB. Asked how much for a latio key.. He said RM1600 !!

I just laugh and walk away.

I thought if we want to duplicate the i-key from Nissan, they have to make a request to Nissan Japan to issues them don't know what (freq?), then they can do it? Am I wrong?
