2005 remote/key
Hi all, has existing 8-owners managed to convert their ugly key n remote units to the new 2005 whiplash model (key+remote integrated) ala volkswagen kind?
Saw some threads in the US forum whereby their extremely helpful workshops converted their old remote unit/keys.... |
Saw GR advertistment for their RX8 with the retractable key.
Anyone has ask GR before? ;) |

Can you guys post a URL for that advert or is it a local Singapore thing. I'm in Auckland but am up there regularly and have a couple of mates who could pick up for me. Was the re programming difficult?
|
Sorry Mike, I'm asking ard if anyone one could replace the old remote+keys with the new one. Re-programming is needed. Will post an update if I find anyone who could do the replacements....
|
Cheers......couple of threads on it but not conclusive. Drop me a PM if you find out and reckon a few of the Aussies would be in as well. My home forum, too few Kiwi 8's as yet.
|
Just called GR. They can't do it. Have contacted my PI to check if they can order it in the form of a lost key/remote. Wonder if MM is able to do it....
|
supposedly GR told me that the progamming is quite hard to do but since the US guys can get it done then its possible.
Will post my keys and let you guys know the feedback when my car arrives sometime this week. BTW i thought someone has the retrac key already cause got one really new member, has the same plate reg as me, SFN. It was red and a gal who also attended the recent meet, can probably ask her. |
Hi guys,
Got some info from me SE. He told me that the key is awaiting approval from IDA, but the price is still unknown. He wasn't sure how come the PIs are able to skip the inspection for the new key.... damn.... MM sure is slow on updating latest informations and parts for our 8s. :confused: will keep u guys updated if there is anyting new. :cool: |

Ya thats really odd. Unless they are still supplying the 2004 model.
|
It could be a 2005 model year car with original keys..
|
XtremeRev, update us on the retractable keys when u can. I'm contemplating ordering the key/fob from the US guys if they can guide me over the programming.
|
ok will do. :) I am also looking to getting the original alarm system that can be programmed into our remote. If it can be done on the new retractable key tat will be great. :D
|
do you guys also know if there are any alarm/auto engine start systems that is compatible with our car. preferably something like 'boomerang'-has little screen on the remote.
