I'd be inclined to get a plain key for the car. At least you can then get inside without damage to access the data port if loose your one and only key. How come your dealer is now quoting an unrealistically low 170Eur for a new remote key when he previously quoted 450Eur - am I missing something?

450eur is the price with lock change

I wondered why the 170Euro quoted was so cheap. It transpires that the original remote key has been superseded and the new part (37145-62R11) is a much more acceptable £78 in the UK. With key cutting and programming - this would be around 170Euro. Infact the genuine key is available from non-Suzuki sources for around £62 including cutting to tag code.

I know programming the immobiliser is a Suzuki job but can anyone tell me how to go about programming the central locking or is this also a Suzuki job??

Check your owner's manual, if it's user programmable it'll be in there, I can't tell you about the Ignis, but on a third gen GV you can do it.

Cloning immobilizer chip from key is not possible (id47 new type) only program a blank key with id47 blank and learn new remote.

Just to let you guys know about the end result. Went to suzuki dealership, they removed the key with the remote from system, decoded the reserve key (which doesnt have the remote) and that cost me 40eur. So pretty cheap solution.
Now if someone finds the key i lost, remote wont work, they could get in the car but they cannot start it. So overall im pleased with the solution.
For 170eur i will get the new key with the remote in a few months or so.

e170 is cheap👏

Hello to all.
My wife lost a remote key for car unlocking. We own a Suzuki Ignis 2021. We also have a spare key which is a regular key without remote opening.

What are our options?
1. Removing codes from the car still opens the car manually with the same key?
2. Changing the lock costs 450eur which is too much

Any other solutions?

BUT if that physical key relies on a transponder chip to start the engine, erasing keys will mean the key will not start the car until it is re-programmed to the vehicle. If your spare mechanical key has the transponder chip i.e., it starts the engine now a locksmith can often cut a blade into a new shell and program the remote to match. Some used remotes are locked to another VIN and cannot be re-paired; others can be reprogrammed. A locksmith can test without you paying dealer fees. Replacing cylinders guarantees strangers can’t use old keys, but it’s more invasive and often costly. Consider only if you suspect theft or irreparable locks.

If spare key starts the car, you can simply get a replacement remote or transfer the transponder into a new remote shell, which is much cheaper than replacing the lock. If the spare doesn’t start the car, you’ll need a new transponder key programmed or cloned by a locksmith. Either way, replacing the entire lock isn’t necessary. A reputable automotive locksmith can cut keys, clone transponders, and program a new remote at a fraction of the €450 dealer cost.
