Guest wiser Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi everyone, I need some advice. I have various keys for my car including the red master key. This will turn in the ignition but will not start the car. I would like to get a new key cut but am not sure if the red key will be able to program the new key if it won't start the car. Any help much appreciated. Wiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael Tomlinson Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hello When you try to start the engine with the red key does the red LED by the clock pulse or flash a few times.Does any key start the car? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wiser Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, Yes I have a black key, (a non genine replacement) which starts the car. Yes, when I use the red master key, the control LED flashes. Sounds bad news? Cheers Wiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael Tomlinson Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hello Its not bad news the red key needs to be programed to the pats module.Or you can try and put the key that works in the ignition turn to the 2nd click about 4-6 times then do the same with the red key this might work.But if not the key will have to be programed.
