Citroen C5 2008 - 2017 VF7RD VIN series 3 button flip key key

Citroen C5 VF7RD VIN series vehicles from 2008 - 2017 came with an all black plastic 3 button flip key. These original Citroen flip keys had very small delicate micro-switches on the PCB inside and we see lots of these where either the flip key part breaks out or the button pads collapse on these tiny microswitches. 

The Citroen C5 from 2008 - 2017 had a VIN number starting VF7RD.

Please check your VIN starts VF7RD........

This top quality 3 button flip key can be programmed to your Citroen C5 VF7RD vehicle offering a stronger and much more stylish solution.

The key will be precoded to suit this vehicle and must be programmed to the car using a diagnostic scan tool.

We can do this for you at our East Victoria Park workshop in WA. 

WE DO NOT GENERALLY SELL THIS KEY ONLINE AS THERE IS SOME VARIANCE IN CODING USED WITHIN THE CITROEN C5 RANGE DURING THESE YEARS

This type of key has an integrated ID46 transponder chip on the circuit board and when this is programmed the car the remote part is also programmed at the same time.

Please note that as the original flip key 3rd button is for the lights the boot button on the new key will also activate the lights in the same way.

There are many very similar looking keys for Peugeot & Citroen vehicles but the coding on the circuit board is different in each vehicle and so it is vital you check the details of your vehicle matches before ordering.

These flip keys are very good quality and tend to be much stronger than the original flip keys that come with the vehicle. 

The first image shows a size comparison between the 2 types of key so you can get an idea of the size of the flip key.

The flip key is supplied with a battery fitted and a key blade and roll pin. The key blade will need to be cut to match the vehicle and then it will need to be fitted to the flip key body using the roll pin supplied with it. Any locksmith will be able to do this for you if you are having it done locally where you live.

There is a recess on the back of the flip key where you can place a 14mm logo sticker if you wish but please note it is not supplied with one. 

If your original key works but the keyshell is damaged you will find a compatible shell replacement listed under Compatible Items also.
