I just got the car and was looking through the manual it mentions a metal key you can use for the door if your remote fails , anyone know where to find one ? thanks

 

I paid about $500 for mine at the dealer when my battery died and the car was locked.

 

couldnt you just replace the battery ?

 

I got one from Aston Martin works in Newport Pagnell,about £100.They will take an order over the phone and post it to you.You'll need to send them a copy of your V5 for proof of ownership but also to identify the correct key for your car.

 

thanks

 

You can get one here https://astonmartinbits.com/models/5...age/parts/5077 if you're in the UK they will cut it as per VIN. Outside the UK....

...Any auto locksmith can make a Tibbe key (ford/volvo) using a lockpick that reads the code from a device they put into your lock, they read the numbers off that and cut any tibbe key blank. Im in the same situation, and cost in canada is $175 ($130 USD) including the key blank.

Dealer wanted over $500 in Canada to create a key for me.

Hope that helps

 

unfortunately the car was locked shut in a very tight spot in my parking garage. Could not open the car to access the battery or open the hood to jump it. Ive learned since that i could havw removed the front grill and opened the hood for a jump. Oh well.

 

oh, i thought you meant the battery in the remote , sorry . thanks for the info. While im on the subject of remotes , does the remote have to be reprogrammed if you replace the battery ?

 

Short answer No. Batteries last a long time so no need if it's working. Message will display in the IC indicating to change it. Key programming is retained in the car and you should never have an issue when replacing the cr2032 battery.

 

thank you sir !
