darren_glasgow Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi All, i've been in the key-cutting/engraving trade for the last 23 years or so and around 9 years ago bought myself a Curtis CI-4 transponder machine.The only update i've had was about 3 years ago with a Silca Tex-Code module for 4C chips. I hate turning away customers with keys that i can't clone.The kind of cars in question would be your average Fiat,Vauxhall,Nissan etc.etc. Could anyone point me in the right direction with regards to buying my next machine. Cheers,Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Welcome Darren, Here is the link to the transponder minefield post. The answers I had were most informative and helpful. You will find all the help you need here. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4417&p=43692&hilit=transponder+minefield#p43692 However unfortunatley there are many keys that cannot be cloned at present, I have had to turn at least 4 away this week which is annoying. So do not think that by buying an up to date machine that you will copy every key because you won't. But I am sure that technology is moving forward and things will improve as in the case of the Bianchi and soon the RW4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Friend Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 That,my friend, is cruelty, you must first express a wish to hold, then approach with care then grip in a fashion not designed to cause pain. of course you must first do a risk assessment, erect suitable barriers and wear the correct protective clothing. The other side of the coin is that the bull's horns will rip your guts out.......... good luck to anyone tramping the transponder route glad I stayed out of it.

grahamparker Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Silca are due to make an anouncement on the new crypto2 copying any time now and ive heard (only rumored)the update will be a lot cheaper than bianchi,and i have it on good advice that they are looking at non battery heads as well.The big next step for me is whoever can copy the megamos 48 chips (silca t6) whoever cracks that first will be recieving a large wad of cash if the price is right from me. \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren_glasgow Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Well,first of all,let me thank everyone who had the time to reply to my little dilemma.I've had a good look around the 'net and to me,the ZedBull machine kinda fits the bill.A few phone calls to Hickley's should iron-out any doubts i may have.

grahamparker Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I also sopke to lee and there is a sooper device needed which connects to the original key and when turned in the ignition it reads the info required to code the new blank.Will the zed bull and keycrypt pro be following suit and how much will the upgrade costs be. They will also program to the eh2 heads i alreday have in stock a lot cheaper than the bianchi blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
