you can get them elsewhere like key cutters who can copy the code if you take the broken key with you
prices vary between Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20 and Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£60 but I'd imagine Suzuki would be much dearer (if its like fiat Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£200 :ohmy: )

I've only had my jimny 6 month so don't know for sure if both keys are the original keys supplied with the car but if they are whats is the point of a spare key that won't operate the imobiliser? I mean what if I had lost the key thinking I had a spare that would work.....!

Cheers Russell, I've put both keys on the same key ring and it works so it'll do till I can get two new keys. I wouldn't want to leave the imobiliser key in the car...!
