| Spec C Club |  Re: 06 STi Key.. Problem Programing!? Your STi key has a chip in it. The new Blue one does not. Therefore, the sensor in your old key can not be read and your new key, without the chip, signals there is not a real key and shuts your car off. |

| Platinum Member | Re: 06 STi Key.. Problem Programing!? The blue one will only work in an '04, which did not have the immobilizer. Your dealer would have to be absolutely clueless to sell you that key and think it would work. If you really need a spare key, be prepared to pay $$$ for one that has the chip. |

If you want to hack up one of your other keys, you can remove the chip, tape it inside your steering column and use the blue key. But that pretty well defeats the purpose of the immobilizer. And it would suck to be stuck somewhere and have your car not start if the chip came loose, got lost, whatever. This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
