Nice one :) I think I’ve already said it, but I’m actually impressed with the quality. Feels weighty and well built. Mine is my new daily / main key.

Through all my testing I now have like 4 fully working keys for mine :rofl:

cool it does say that the key is changed to 433Mhz by pressing a sequence of buttons but it looked straightforward enough.

Yeah, I must say it took a little faffing around to get it to work, I’m not sure exactly what it did but it suddenly worked (I was pressing all sorts in it during the remote programming phase. My 2 Diamond keys programmed perfectly but this was a pain BUT I got there in the end lol)

UPDATE: Given that the cutter is a bit hit and miss (I did a key the other day, that worked in all locks but refused to turn the ignition), rather than risk ruining anyone's key, if 'you' purchase a key, and get it cut from your local Timpsons or independent cutter, (I would imagine this would cost around £5) I can then program the key to start the car.

Going forward, I will only be offering Transponder & Remote programming (which is, in fact, the costly part via BMW). :thumbsup:

Good plan James, like you say the programming is the more specialist bit. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I’ll be interested in a Bentley key when I finally get around to sorting it
Thanks :)

FYi: I bought my Bentley flip from here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/391472329898

Arrived quickly and has everything you need (includes electronics and transponder)
Link doesn't seem to work, is this the one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181962327371 ... rmvSB=true

I think that seller has stopped selling them.

NO, that’s the wrong key, that’s for a VW & won’t work. I’ll take a look and see if I can find one on eBay.

Edit: couldn’t find a UK supplier, but this is the correct item: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 1672592853
