Default Replacement chip key

Has anyone found a programmable substitute that works okay? Or is it only possible to use the original chip?

Cheers

I've lost my keys but I did save a photo of the key on each side, which I can use to reverse-engineer the key code

No idea where you are but NORTH AMERICA did NOT start the RFID keys until 1998.

Might want to tell us where you are located?
