Revisiting Remote ,, Key Re-programing

[Lightshaft]

My C5 only came with 1 plip & key. and no security card..

 

I have got a used plip and key from EBAY for a fiver. My research sugests I can pull out the blade from this plip get a new key blade cut and reinsert it.

 

I have checked its battery and theres a nice 3.2v. How to marry up the new plip to the car? befor I get a key cut? Googleing gives a procedure for nearly every Ctroen except C5!!

 

Nearest sugestion.... insert key and turn on ignition press the lock then unlock button within 20 sec's, within 10 sec press lock & unlock of new plip....

 

Anybody recognise this procedure???

 

Thanks DB

Sorry to disappoint. I also bought a plip off ebay, got a key cut to match the locks, and inserted it into the new plip. So far so good. The key unlocks the car but won't start it - but didn't expect it to. Took both plips to main dealer with my card but dealer reported that it wouldn't reprogramme. Big disappointment.
