has anyone replaced one of these? On my 97 cooper i only have 1 set of keys.
I'm looking to get another for back up. How easy you sync these with the car?

Do you know what you get if you type the title of this thread into Google?

Do you have a local rover garage with the equipment? The dealer I work at has all the equipment required to supply and programe a new fob and key if required but were a bit far from you i think.

You can get this done at your local Timpsons branch, they stock and program Rover key fobs.

However when I enquired about the cost, they said it was £125, including getting an ignition key cut. When I said no thanks and started to walk ok they said "ok we'll do it for £110". Still too much for me though so I didn't bother getting one.

I have seen 'learning fobs' on e bay a few times, for £10 - £20. You supposedly put them next to your original fob, press a button on the original fob and on the new fob simultaneously, and it programs the new fob. That's probably the cheapest way to do it, if they work.
