Replacement Key for 2023 JDM Import was created by Brett
Hi All
I just collected my 2023 Jimny after importing from Japan but I discovered the car only came with one key
I have contacted 3 local Auto Locksmiths where I live in Essex but no one seems to be able to help.
any ideas or contacts?
Thanks for any help

Normally I would say main dealer is the answer but it being an import may work against you. I assume that the importer is unable to assist?

Thanks for the reply, I will contact the dealer but I understand key fobs in the UK use 433mhz and Japan uses 315mhz so I am not sure it will be stocked here...

I bought a key for my 2005 Jimny a couple of months ago.
The Suzuki dealer ordered it ready made for my VIN number cost me about 140£ but no FOB no my old relic.
There is a possibility to copy or imitate your existing key fob with what is known as a Flipper Zero.
If all else fails.
But I would not be suprised if a dealer can order the key you need from your vin number.
And considering the troubles and rabbit hole you will fall into while trying other solutions, it might even be considered cheap
