F430 duplicate key cost / source

[GrahamF430]

Hi folks,

I only have one key for my car and would ideally like a replacement key with the built-in remote locking (I assume I need to have the button to disable the alarm?).

Do I need to go to Ferrari for a replacement key?

Anyone have any indication of costs? It's a 2006 F430 Spider.


Thanks in advance.

Graham

Where can you get a key for £120 and does this price include setting up to your cars engine mobiliser.

Certainly not from Ferrari. Just called Graypaul (Edinburgh). They need proof of ownership documentation, chassis no. (etc...) plus the car to code it in, and the total cost is £336.00.

Well I picked my 430 up yesterday from Meriden and they told me if I was to lose a key it wouldn't be a big deal, as all they need is the vin number to order a new key which would arrive all coded and ready to go for £120 + vat. Having said that I was very excited yesterday so perhaps I heard wrong, but I am sure that was the price!!!

Would be interesting to know if you ever need to get one. Enjoy the car

Interesting reading - thanks.
Well, I'll pop in to Ferrari Edinburgh soon enough and let you know the outcome. It certainly didn't pose any problems on the phone, but as is usual with this kind of car, one has to expect the unexpected.

Thanks again
Graham
