scottt Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I lost one of the keys to my 2010 R57. Do I HAVE to get a replacement from the dealer? Or are there 3rd party ways to do it? Thx!

They will order it from Germany and you have to provide your driver's license and registration to prove you are the owner of the car. Even you were able to find one from a third party, you'd need to pay the dealer to have it programmed.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I lost a key to our '09 and I had to go to the dealer. You can buy a key fob on ebay but it won't work till the dealer codes it. They get your money either way. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
1975_mini Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 on a gen2 like yours it has to be ordered by the dealer from MINI USA in New Jersey. It will work as soon as it arrives to start and unlock your car. If you have comfort access is when the local dealer has to put it on the computer to sync your car and fob and it will cost you an hour in labor on top of the fob price. We went through this on Brandy's countryman as it only had one key when we bought it, no cost just the hassle. I thing the coded fob is between 200 and 250 and if comfort access add an additional 125 bucks. Sorry for the crappy anser 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
