bluliz Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 yes....the only thing special about it is that you need it to program new keys. don't loose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) has anyone used the red key for running the car as normal? Is it ok to use it as a normal key? Can't you get a copy cut from the red key? My local place will do it for £13. Edited May 5, 2008 by danposs86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 sorry for butting in, thought id ask this here instead of makin new topic, the red key, costs about 60 quid to get hold another one, i only got one key with mine the black one, is there any way of me getting that duplicated? has anyone used the red key for running the car as normal? Is it ok to use it as a normal key? Can't you get a copy cut from the red key? My local place will do it for £13. dont think the red key will mess anything up, but its a master key used to add more keys to your car, unlucky if gets inb the wrong hands, u can also make copies from it, but i need a copy of mine, but i dont have a master key lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzaboy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The red key is just the "Master" key, the black keys work fine an can be copied with no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Del Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I got two red keys with my car. Can't they only be used a certain amount of times? I'm sure it'll be fine if you only use it once though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reid Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 red keys are fine. yes they are the master keys and 'should' be needed to make copies but they dont have to be.. no they dont only work a certain amount of times. and yes trig, they will start the car to get you to work in the morning.
