NATS 'crypto' key?? Howto go about getting a new key

[quarryman]

So, after reading the positive sounding thread about duplicate keys I trot off to the key place near me to see if they can clone my one good key. 'No way mate' says the guy, 'that's a crypto key innit'.
Apparently my car must've been one of the first (late 98?) to have the rolling code added to the ignition system.

I have to take the car, my one good key and £42 quid to a key place out of town and hopefully they'll be able to sort it tomorrow afternoon.......

What a pain! Still, can't be trusted with only one good key so needs must.

Can anyone confirm that this crypto nonsense is correct?

timpsons done my 98 mav key £15 i think it was they put it into reader which read my key and wrote encryption to there key all done in 10mins by kidve about 18!

well, thats my query. Mine is one of the first new shape, and must only just be a 98 - i saw the machine they put the key in and it said it couldnt do it, took it to timpsons and their machine said the same - rolling code needs input to the car to make it work.
Anyone with a 99 or later who has had to do this?

Bloomin Navaras count yourselves lucky!

Sometimes I think car security has made life harder rather than more secure - I bet the theives still find a way to bypass all this security. I remember my old metro - new lock and key to go in it was 8 quid. So easy to bypass though I gave up buying them in the end

northwest key supplies are doing it when I can get the damn thing moving (new battery etc) for 42 quid in twenty mins while i wait. cant say fairer than that if it works.

Update!!!
Just got back from Northwest Key supplies, and they have a 'secret' system that can code crypto keys without programming in the car. £22!!!
speechless.

AND it works.....
