I need to replace my ignition lock tumbler. It is loose and wreaking havoc. Does anyone know a company that can re-key a tumbler so that I can use my original key set.


I called the dealer and they said I have to buy an entire lock set. B.S.

 

I thought that it was the key to be programmed for the ignition tumbler.

I recently did the oposite of what you suggest: I reprogrammed a key by inserting a new chip and copying from the original one. Quite straightforward procedure done at a key specialist company.

Consider if it is an option to get a tumbler with one working key and copy your key set. Or just get one new set. For me it did cost nearly nothing.

The IGNITION LOCK BARREL is available as a replacement component.
BCC7849 is the part number but it must be 'made to order' from your VIN or the TIBBE key code so it will be a clone of the old one.

Kleman..... We don't have a KTM or 'chips' in the keys for the X300 here in the U.S.

1998 was the first model year to have that for the U.S. market.

was there any chips on the keys for X300 ? I have never seen any keys of X300 that comes with a chip, they are all purely mechanical

 

Hi Cool,
As Bob Gauff pointed out, apparently, US models were not provided with it.
