Theoretical question about keys...

[n8thgr8]

Ok, so it's time for a couple copies of my ignition key to be made. Here's a question...
Could I take a blank of another brand (assuming the blade is the right length etc) with the electronic fob built into the handle, and copy it, and then program it for my D1?
or is the fob brand specific?

The fob is brand and model specific.

NO you can it just will not work as intended unless your in tension to to waist your $$
then yes it will work fine for that but that's all

I used a generic key for my 2003 D2, I think it was the same key as a Rav4, I had the key made in 2006. Just the key, not the fob.

I have no clue if you can find a substitute fob.

I do not know if the D1 key is the same as another generic.

key yes fob NO

Does the disco 1 have a chip key?

I am a brand new owner of an old D1. I only got one key with it, which I think is the door key. The ignition will turn to run, but it won't turn to start. Does the door key act like that? The key is a generic copy. I don't have original keys or the fob.

Door and ignition use the same key. No chip
