    Hi,

    I bought an 02 GTi recently and it came with only 1 key.

    Whats my cheapest option for getting another key cut. It does not need to be remote as hopefully I wont lose the key/fob remote I have but I need a spare just in case.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    The Misses has a 2002 Golf, Not a GTI however I believe the Key has a chip in it.

    Do you plan to use the spare key for in case of an emergency to drive the car or just a spare key to open the doors?

    in case I lost the original I would need it to drive the car yeah. So does that mean i will have to get it coded etc

    I would believe so. The golf keys the misses have are funny though...


    Her key and fob are separate... Though taking apart her key I believe there is a chip inside..


    Based on my own findings, I would safely bet that you will need to pay for coding/whatever the process is to have a key that will allow you to us the car as well.

    Give autokey Dublin a ring or similar they shouldn't be to expensive to supply cut and code a key as you don't need it to open the car remotely. You can get a quote of a main dealer too but I'd imagine autokey would be similar. I got a genuine ford key for a focus of autokey supplied cut and coded for 60 quid I certainly couldn't get it cheaper than that anywhere else. Main Dealer wanted 180 euro for same key :eek:

    You could pop the chip out of the key and glue it to the steering column. Then cut a normal key with no chip. Then the RFID reader is happy
