Recently purchased 2002 ducato based MH, We only got 1 key! I think the key has a trasponder? Never found an easy option to get a spare key? Anyone any experience?


Also it seems to have a puma alarm but this looks to have been disabled! I have a fob with the keys but not sure where it's fitted or how to check if it's just been switched off? Again anyone any experience?


Was thinking of a steering lock as a deterent but how easy are these to steal without the keys?


Thanks Ronnie

About the only place you will get another key from is a Fiat Dealer because keys need to be coded to the vehicle. In the past there were two keys of different colours. One was the master and the other the slave. Without the master you were stuffed!!
It might be worth trying a shoe repairers as many of them offer key coding, but don’t hold your breath on them being able to do what you want.
A better bet that a steering wheel lock is one that fits over the brake and/or clutch pedal, VERY difficult to get at let alone remove if you don’t have the key.

Thanks mrplod, I guess will just need to make sure we don't loose the only key! I may phone the shoe shop and see what they say

ITs worth a try, but if it was a simple exercise there would be no point in having a transponder key

I was shocked it had a trasponder being 2002 when it has no central locking or lecky windows lol, I think I was a teenager last car not having lecky windows

Our 2003 Swift has a central locking system and an alarm, the alarm is a TOAD which thankfully, has worked OK. We have two keys, both have "zappers" with buttons to lock /unlock and a "panic" button.

If one failed, we would be stuck as I do not have a clue about locating it......

I really ought to contact TOAD and ask for tgeir help;
