Hi Les, Is this the key with the red fob, or the folding blade. Either way, there is a guy on ebay, in England, that does repairs and has blanks. We did business a few years ago on the Red, fixed fob 156 keys.
I'm looking for a replacement key for my 2004 GT, and suspect that I will be talking to a Stealer :-( Cheers, David - Downunder. Les asked: Hi All Perhaps someone from a non-NZ location can help with advice. What's the deal with copying the new type key on the Alfa 156? The key has machining on the flat of the blade rather than "mountains and valleys" on the edge. Copying of the blade is not a problem but I'm told that the programmed electronic security thing that sends a signal to the detector at the ignition switch that then allows the ecu to start the car, cannot be copied. Apparently the only way to get a duplicate key is to order it from the factory in Italy. Is this for real???? Cost of doing this is 10% of what my car cost (2nd hand).
