I'm just home after my 5th visit to Timpsons for their "expert" to make me an Ignition key that actually starts the car.
£120 charged and 6 hours worth of standing around waiting for them and the car STILL will not start - Just to add insult to injury, I've got to go back yet AGAIN to see the guy I originally paid and try to get a refund (GRRR - rant over).
Has anybody had spare Ignition keys cut for a Series 5 A8 that actually work ?. Where ?. Side question - is there something special here about the immobiliser ?.

Once you have a key that operates lock barrel you will need to swap over passive transducer, or maybe clone blank one from that on spare key, to deactivate immobiliser

Hi Richard.
Thats what they have been trying to do. The read / write tranducer kit says its read and copied the OEM passive transducer OK .... but then it does not work.
They have so far tried 5 different peices of kit to do this and made 12 supposedly copied transducer chips. I'm thinking there's something unusual / special about this particular appliocation.
The Autel machine they had mentions rolling codes and "Manchester Coding" whatever that is.
