C5 remote keyfob.

Unread post by deano1970 »

hi,
I have just purchased at a really good price, another C5 hdi sx.......The car has no service history at all,and has done 131,000 miles. I intend to get a timing belt on it just to be sure,but the car is lovely for the money I have paid....The only problem is,it only came with one hard key,nor emote fob. How difficult,and more importantly,expensive ,would it be to get a fob programmed to my car? I have seen the fobs on e bay with uncut blades with the pcb boards in them,but I have no idea what it would take to get one programmed to my car..........any advice greatly appreciated. If the only option is to visit citroen then I will just use the key,as It would,i suspect, be too expensive??thanks. dean... :)

Hi Deano,

Firstly, whats the one forsale, HDi or Petrol??? Secondly, you will NEED a Lexia diagnostic to re-program a ket to the car, theres no other way... or the dealer..

Sorry the news is no easyer..

Show up at a Rally with a key and the car, theres useually some of us there who could have a go at it.

Ive just re programmed and matched THREE keys to a Xantia.. Two PLIPs and a master key. Both PLIPs open and start the car now.
