Car Key Upgrade?
When I bought my Connie it came with only one key. I bought another with a blade that opens the doors in case I locked the good keys in the car. (Yes, I've done that before.)
Now I'm wondering if the electronics can be added to the key case, and the key made fully operational? Would a T4 operator be able to supply the components needed, or would they have to be sourced elsewhere? I don't now if this is possible, hence the question. Cheers, Fifer

It was just a thought. I've survived with one key so far, but it would be nice to have a spare. Fifer

You can do half the job yourself using Toaf. This will allow you to utilise a used remote......... but it won't bring you any further forward than you are now, because you still won't be able to start the car.
Leaving aside the obvious security and insurance implications - Does anyone know if it would be possible to remove the transponder from a key, fix it to the inside of the steering cowl, and then use a key without a transponder to open, lock, and start the car........ or would the transponder signal being picked up by the ignition stop the car from being locked ?
