Afternoon All, wondered if anyone could help.
I only have one fully working key fob which operates the central locking and starts the car. I have a “valet” type key with no electronics or buttons for the central locking, but it starts the car ok. Issue is if I use it to open the car from the door locks it sets off the alarm and I’m unable to disarm so it’s no good a spare key.
I’ve been trying to arrange a backup key fob for the central locking as I’m uncomfortable only having one set in case I ever lose it. I don’t necessarily need a fully working key with the ID48 chip that starts the car too I just want a spare fob that operates the central locking meaning together with the valet key I have full functionality in my spare set. I spoke to an auto locksmith today who was clearly very knowledgeable in his field but he reckoned that he cant do anything for me as he can only work on Maserati’s up to 2010. He stated that thereafter the body control units were encrypted and his software isn’t up to the job.
My car is a 2012 GT. Has anyone had a replacement key fob made with success without going to the main dealer? Any info would be appreciated. As mentioned, I only really need central locking, not necessarily starting the car.
I bought an old key fob on eBay and tried pairing it using the “lock and unlock multiple times to enter learning mode method” but I think this only works on older cars?
