Before I list for sale can anyone confirm if there is a generic AM key (Vantage/DB9/Vanquish) etc or just the V12 Vantage. I bought a couple of spares a while since and had once coded FOC as part of the service last year which works great. However I still have a spare that has never been coded so want to sell it on but want to know which models it will work on before I do.

Anyone with more technical expertise than me care to explain. Thanks.

As far as I am aware, other than frequency which varies depending which part of the world you are in (one for US & Japan, one for Europe) the key has basically been the same for all Astons since the 'ECU' (I'm assuming that's the 'key' you are referring to) was introduced

I do know from experience a 2006 V8 Vantage key cannot be programmed for a pre-2009 DB9.
