Replacement key recommendations

Unread post by lambie413 »

Hi
Could anybody recommend a suitable spare key for my 2018 Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer?

I have the secret code and purchased this key:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375113001229 ... media=COPY

I programmed the original key with diagbox no problem but this new key failed or wasn't detected.

The original key has Valeo IM2A printed inside it. Any recommendations on a compatible key?

Just in case this can help anyone in the future.

I resolved the issue by buying a replacement key from Aliexpress that had a PCF7953M chip installed. The key I bought on ebay had a PCF7945 chip installed which wasn't detected by the car.
