Recommendations for new keys that I can program?

Morning all, can those that know advise me on best place to purchase a couple of new, complete, key fobs. I read that some on EBay etc won’t re program. I can program them myself with AP200. Thanks in advance.

Which ones did you go for in the end? I've had several from eBay and found that in some (in face most) cases the original blade won't fit in the replacement shell, even if the electronics are ok.

The case I bought off eBay even had data and serial numbers in the recess the key blade sit in. This makes me think it was retrieved from a released key but with the electronics removed.

When I tried to fit the old blade mount in the new shell the hole that should fit over the boss in the case was too small. I had to knock out the roll pin to remove the blade and swap it over into the new mount.

Take both blades out (old and new) go to the keymaker shop and they will make them in a few minutes

I have read all sorts of stories here, regarding “hard” material…. Well no issues on mine…
Cost me less than a fiver each….

I did choose to re use the original electronics in a new case btw.

So i use the replacements and have the original blades locked up with the D3 paperwork..
