Lost my only key :-( was created by TomDK
Hi,

I've just lost my only key to my UK Jimny.

What to do now?
Does anyone of you know if a 2002 RHD 1.3 Jimny has some kind of electronic immobilizer?

Can I somehow get a new key using the VIN number?

Tom

Hiya Tom not sure about getting a new key from your VIN number since it is visible through the windscreen and anyone would then be able to get a key cut. You may have to take some proof of ownership (V5) to your local suzuki dealer.

Your Jimny definitely has an electronic immobilizer and the key is fitted with a corresponding transponder.

When I enquired into getting a spare cut from 'mister minit' they told me the replacement would be about £50 but if I lost the original a key would cost three times as much :(

Hope this helps.

Hi again,

But lucky me.. Just found the key outside under my Swift, hidden in snow and gravel :-)

Now I better make a copy of it :-)
