Changing card reader
If I change the card reader on my car will I have to do anything to the keycards or will they just work with the new reader?
Re: Changing card reader
Just buy one from a scrapper, mine cost £12.00 on fleabay, card works ok!

Re: Changing card reader
i think the only part coded with the key is the Immobiliser. the reader itself only carries the message. should be fine as a direct swap.

Re: Changing card reader
I got one off eBay, going to fit it today. My car is supposed to be hands free but doesn't work, could this fix it?

Re: Changing card reader
I fitted it but it's got the same issue. I assume now it's a key which means I'm looking at £100+ to fix it, is there no solution other than a new key?
Re: Changing card reader
There is a company I used www. option4.co.uk they repair key cards about £20 inc postage try them

Re: Changing card reader
I just took it apart and resoldered the immobilizer which was very loose so hopefully when I leave work my car will start xD
