If this is the case, I give garage my spare key when in for service so how is service log transfered across to my key?
How do you show potential second hand private buyers your service history....
Bruneep won't yours just be a warrenty history rather than a service history 😉
No warranty work as yet.
Im sure last keys contained NFC Loyalty card for their shitty showroom coffee machine.
When i phoned the Irish Volvo dealer about a new key they just needed the car chassis number and had the full uk service history from their database which makes sense.
When I had a BMW in 2005-6, I once went into a dealer and as I approached the service desk I was addressed by a person I had never met before by name....
Apparently they had a device that got the car details from the key as you walk up to the desk
Edit: perhaps it was the key reader outlined above and it works from a short distance?
[i]Our 3 series only came with one key, bought it in august last year,[/I]
When we bought our 4 series last year we got the two original keys, and negotiated another into the deal...
Worked with a chap ages back that had lost his two keys for his Mondeo so was using the red one. I suggested he ought to get another one before he lost that one. Nope he didn't, and then lost the red one... knob.
Seen the same with Honda m/c's, the keys were coded to the ECU, bloody fortune if you lost them.
