Citroen C4 Cactus Electronic Key Replacement

systemshq

I've lost one of my electronic car keys to my Citroen C4 Cactus, however, I still do have a spare. The main Citroen dealer will charge ££££'s for replacement. Is there a cheaper way of obtaining a spare key duplicate rather than going to the main dealer?? Many thanks in advance.

I would imagine your key would be the same as a C4/DS4 key which is a 3 button flip key?

If so, you can buy uncut keys off ebay and you can take them to any key cutter to get them cut and also programmed off your spare key.

Programmed off your spare? You mean cloned? Not the same as having a proper unique key.

The original key will still work on the car unless erased and if anything happens to one of the cloned keys erasing one will erase both as they will share the same code.

As correct as you may be, the OP asked "Is there a cheaper way of obtaining a spare key duplicate rather than going to the main dealer??"

and I provided a possible solution

Cheaper but it still leaves a working key out there that they no longer have.

If the OP included the word "safer" in their opening post then I would say definatley go with the dearer dealer option.
