When I got my 2010 MY RRS a couple of years ago, it only had one key. I think a car with only one key is not a good idea - quite apart from not knowing who's got the other one!

I did this recently myself. Purchased a key from eBay. Sent it to keysinthepost to have the barrel cut £12, then programmed it with my IID tool 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

Makes me laugh ! But they really can cut a key from a digital photo ! Wow .. I have taken several pics , so will have a good hunt on eBay and send off to get cut , is the iid tool easy to use to program the key ? For a complete novice , I'm assuming its many other uses so perhaps a good investment |

IID tool is probably the most effective thing you can buy for your car. Sell it on when you move on. Buy used for around £325 posted and check the sister sites to. Plenty of help about but ultimately you have to look over the cliff (have a play). Sorry poor analogy 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

each key position has a potential of 3 or 4 options. (from no cutting to all of it cut away), ones you know how the key is designed it's easy to tell from a picture. It is then effectively cut from a code (rather than a worn key)
