    How much did you pay? What tool did they use?

    £80 for the whole job....key and coding.

    Tool............they used a variety of software programmes to work through the process on three different mobile devices. Sorry but I can’t tell you anything more “techie” than that. At one point the key would start the car but then cut out. It was soon sorted after a bit more “magic”. All well above my pay grade!!

    Swap the yellow and red wire.

    Thanks for that info. The aftermarket Sony in my Lupo would not hold presets, the correct time, any general settings, and I could not disable the demo mode (flashing lights etc etc).

    All sorted withe the swap of yellow and red wires. Great. Thanks again.

    Good value - shame they are so far away from Scotland! - did they need the key and car to be together?

    If its key only - I may be passing the home of the "Sauce" in the nears future.

    It was key and car.

    The key was cut in a few minutes. The reading and pairing of the chip took some time and involved going through a process using my original key and the new duplicate key being inserted into the ignition.

    How much did you pay for the key cutting and the immobiliser chip pairing up? I need this too...

    £80 as a total job......key, key cutting and chipping.

    Timpsons claim they could have done it but it would have been around £130. I have my doubts though. There was an issue with the coding on the Lupo. In fairness, Timpsons charged my mate £55 for a straightforward Polo job.

    It seems the Lupo is a problem. I only found one other locksmith who could do it.

    Hope that helps.
