I was told by dealer that if you lose red key & you then either lose both black keys or need another black key, you are f**ed!!! Basically, a complete rewire/new wiring loom is required. Something about the immobiliser being paired with the red key. I think it would cost lots of ����/$$$$$ to sort out & would have a not insignificant effect on resale value..... Anyway, how hard can it be to put the red key along with your passport, birth certificate, other valuables etc. into a cheap home safe.
