"Tranfer the key chip", they said :-)

Old folding key fell apart (key fell out of hinge), remote never worked, so I got a plain key cut.

"Just transfer the chip", they said.

Can anyone confirm please? Looks to me as though the pickup coil and security chip are separate, so I can only use the new key to start the engine with the old key circuit board held/taped/glued to the ignition switch.

You could alwsys buy a new folding fob, and get a key cut with a photo.

I've still got the original (in pieces), but since the hinge on the stipid flippy key gizmo is the weak spot (that nearly dropped the metal part of my key down a drain) I took advice on how to avoid it :-)

In the words often quoted as Colin Chapman "Simplify, then add lightness" :-)

I was vaguely hoping someone would say something like "You only need this one chip for the immobiliser" :-)¹

With these later remotes the transponder is emulated in the processor. A stand alone id46 chip, as per the older remote should work, however it would need to be programmed via Lexia/Diagbox. Alternately there appear be setups that can clone these chips.

As the buttons are shot on my remote I bought a new case from Ebay.  The case is the same externally but inside is different and my circuit board (like the one above wont fit.  Beware buying cases from Ebay
