After installing my new lockset due to one of my keys being stolen I found out that my car has a chip-in-key transponder, but my two new keys are just plain keys. I need to get in touch with Vauxhall spares and get the right keys but will I be able to get transponder keys cut to my new lockset or do I need to fork out for another new set? and will I need to replace the unit on the car to match the new keys?  .
Any ideas how much it'll cost? It was £50 for a complete lockset, if thats anything to go by.

Take the chip out of the old key and tape it to the new one that will get u going again. A new key will cost about £20.00 but it will need coded to the car. Hope you have your transponder code you will need it to code new key

I still have the spare key which wasn't stolen which Ive taken the chip out of in order to start the car, but I don't want to use the current transponder cos there will still be one out there that works even tho Ive changed all the locks. Ive got a feeling its gonna be a costly Job .
On another note, my cars a 96 montana and its got quite a few bits on it that are fron the 97> cars, Am I right in thinking that the in key transponder is one of the parts that is from the 97> cars aswell?
