Couple of questions:

How do I seperate the swing out part of the key from the blipper part?
How do I teach the car to recognise the new blipper?

Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them Cans of swine
Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad's an idiot alright!
Well, alright, I'm really starting to worry about you. You had to have
That two-car garage with the large driveway so you could park that
Goddamn boat in it. If it wasn't for the boat (blah blah blah)

It has to be pressed out and pressed in to the new blipper.

> How do I teach the car to recognise the new blipper?

You can't as far as I know. You need a special code, that is delivered on
a card (creditcard size). The computer in the Car has to be re-programmed
with a new code and the blipper and all spare keys have to be re-programmed.
If you don't repogram the spare keys, than you can't start the car.

The Citroen garage can do this job for you, they can also request a new
code from Citroen-France, if you don't have the card or lost it.
If you have the card, than try to find a store that sells keys, locks, etc
and
duplicates keys. Some companies have advanced equipment to re-program
and duplicate keys. Usually this will not be a small tools shop at the
corner
that also duplicates keys.

Good luck!

I /don't/ think that is right from what I have read at
http://www.andyspares.com/discussionforum/ I would suggest that the OP
does a search there as he will probably find this as an FAQ.

I don't know about the discussion forum at andyspares, I only know about
my own experience with the blipper of my Xsara. But ok, that was a
companycar
so I just believed the Citroen Dealer, because the company had to pay for
it.
