THIS TABLE IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS A GUIDE ONLY. IF YOUR KEY BLADE LOOKS LIKE THE ONES IN THE PHOTOS THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE YOU A SPARE KEY EVEN IF THE SPECIFIC MODEL DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE TABLE.

This key profile is a JMA HU-HCA.P and has the same key blade as a Silca HU 83.

Other Silca references using this key profile include HU83FH, HU83MH, HU83T, HU83T14, HU83T5 & HU83TE.

This key profile can also be used with a number of Fiat, Lancia & Peugeot car & van models and a number of MAN truck models.

This is a track cut or laser cut key profile and we sure a special milling type cutter to duplicate your key. This manual key profile can also be used to make a spare key for a fraction of the cost of a remote or flip key with later models, saving you lots.

In the case of the models listed above, they use highly encrypted transponder chips and so the vehicle MUST be present to make a new key as we need to gather data from the vehicle and the key using our special equipment to make a copy of the chip.

Please allow a minimum of 10 minutes and up to 45 minutes for certain keys to be copied.

The main security element in modern car, van or motorcycle keys is the transponder chip. These have been used in most makes from the mid 90's. It is this item that allows the ignition to start the engine. These transponders can come in a few different types and there is more information on this subject in our FAQ section.

In most modern remote keys or flip keys there are 2 main elements, the remote control which often just opens the doors and the transponder chip which holds encrypted security information that allows the vehicle to start with the key is placed in the ignition where this information can be read by the vehicle's computer.

Having even a manual key as a spare can save a lot of stress and expense later and is much cheaper then having a spare remote key or flip key.

A few things to consider would be:

When the car is locked using the remote and then opened with the key, does it set off the alarm? This is common in some car makes with the alarm going off until the car is started. Always a good idea to check this before getting a copy made as if you are sharing the car with another user who uses the remote your neighbours may not be too pleased with the regular early morning car alarm calls. If the key is intended to only be a spare then it will not matter as much.

A transponder key such as this is essentially waterproof  as it does not contain a battery and so if you like surfing, boating, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, fishing or any other water based activities where you have to lock your vehicle and leave it unattended for a while this kind of key will allow you to lock the car and bring the key with you without fear of any water damage as would be the case with a remote key or flip key.

Having a spare transponder key can save you thousands of dollars should you lose your main every day key. Losing your only key with some brands of cars can be a massive headache, involving towing your vehicle to a dealer, having to have the immobilizer box replaced, having all the lock barrels replaced and having the ignition barrel replaced. You may be without your vehicle for up to a week.

Of course this is a worst case scenario and with some makes and models a new key can be cut and coded to your vehicle even is all the keys are lost but even then this is still a much more expensive and stressful procedure than simply having a spare key made.
