Peugeot 206 - Key Cut

chickencurry02

Just got a price from a peugeot dealer that to get a key cut for a 1999 Peugeot 206 would be in the region of 140euro as it has to be programmed to the car etc. I would prefer just to get a key cut normally for a few euro but have been told that it wouldnt start the car. Is their a cheaper option than the 140 euro quoted. Any advice would be great.

Brown Brothers in Dun Laoghaire can cut a new one, move the transponder from one fob to the other, €40 it cost last time. Saved me over €200.

There are many locksmiths around look for the shops with trays of keys. i think you can get one cut no problem. sometimes though i think they need some gadget in the key but for an old 1999 i think you wouldn't need this gadget atall. you can just ask the locksmith for the key without the gadget should only be a few euro.

what gadget are you on about? if the car has an imobilizer you will need to get a key programed to it or remove the chip from an old/broken key..
are you talking about a remote locking fob??


OP
why do you need a key cut?
do you just need it as a spare?
is your old key worn/broken and just want to replace it?

Only have the one key.

Lost it the last day and took us a day to find it, so need a spare in case happens again. Would any old peugeot key with an immobilizer do or is each unique to each car

Maybe give Colleran locksmiths a ring and ask them if the sell blank
keys or key blades for your 206..?

The older peugeot/Citroen keys the can be reprogrammed but the newer keys from 2002 onwards can only be programmed once.

You could order one of these AKK41 blank keys from http://hickleys.com/diagnostics/keys_list.php for £20.09 + vat and get collerans to cut it from your other key..If your stuck for programming it pm me you vin number and i can get your transponder code to program it for you..:)

The last option would be to get a set if secondhand keys + ignition barrel+door locks/boot lock from a breakers yard and reprogram them to your car..you may even pick up a remote fob.

if you can find the locksmiths ask him for the key without the gadget and you'll be fine.
