Whats going on with these blue remote prices? all more than double in prices, tried everywhere, but £102+vat, ford £148+vat, does anyone know of a good place? after OEM ones, not copy, thanks

I programmed a Chinese key like the one in the photo and the remote control worked all the time but the led flashed about 9 out of 10 attempts to start the car
Before I used 1:1 Chinese remote key copy and I had no problem with the start and the remote control, now such keys are no longer available
Otherwise...as you said OEM keys for over 100 euros !

you will struggle to get original blue transit remotes at a decent price for a while yet , and i suspect supply will suffer droughts for a while yet.

from what i read the overseas factory was destroyed , thus the issues until supply chain is restored .

though i suspect even when stock levels get restored they will try and keep price up .

its a situation out of our control , pass cost on to customer until things change , they have 2 options , pay or enjoy life with a non remote key

Correct Martin, short supply of Ic for ecu, and lots of electronic stuff, etc .today I sat down and repaired 3 blue OEM remote boards, so 5 in stock now, then normal key as you have mentioned, so now common China.

i grabbed a load of used ones , fitted new battery , new buttons and refreshed solder and recased , have a dozen of these and still have 6 oem left , so ok for a while.

id never supply a china one as far too unreliable .

If only we could forecast the future mate, what remote or TP chip next! I am the same as you. I never supply and program none OEM remote for trade, even for cheap skates!!. its a Topsy turvy world at the moment they are selling the copy ones now for £50+ just imagine what next.
