Citroen C5 2008 - 2013 3 button remote flip key key aftermarket vvdi

This product has been temporarily removed from sale as direct result of the Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Safety Standard 2020 which becomes enforceable on 22nd June 2022 and carries fines of up to $1million. 

All products that contain a button cell or coin type battery must be safety tested to confirm they comply with these new regulations. All button cell batteries must be in a new type of packaging with new labels. 

We are working with all of our suppliers to confirm this compliance before we make the product available for sale again. 

We should have had 18 months to get this compliance but sadly the ACCC did not inform our suppliers or us or pretty much any other industry and we only found out about this new law 4 weeks ago.

Please feel free to email us with the details of what you were looking for and we will give you an update on when we expect it to be back available for sale.

This stylish aftermarket 3 button remote flip-key can be coded to your Citroen C5 (X7 series) models between 2008 and 2013 as long as the original remote circuit board matches the details in the photos attached. 

Please check the photos for more information on where to look for this part number on your old key so that you can identify if this key is the correct one for you.

The genuine 3 button flip key has LOCK - UNLOCK - LIGHTS. The boot button on the aftermarket flip key will work the same function as the LIGHTS button on the original key allowing you to turn on or off the lights from the flip key. 

As with all Citroen keys you must carefully check the key profile being used as Citroen use a number of similar looking key profiles.

This version uses the JMA HU-HCA or Silca HU83 of KD HU#Y-31 key blade. This key profile is easily identified bu the round bottom groove in both edges of the key blade. Check the photos for more info on this.

This key has an integrated transponder chip, meaning the chip is part of the circuit board unlike most other keys where it is a separate item. When programming keys with an integrated transponder chip, the process is done in one step and can only be done using specialst diagnostic equipment by a licensed repairer. We are licesened to carry out this type of work in WA so we can do this at our East Victoria Park workshop. Just call to make an appointment.

If your old key shell is just broken but the remote still works we sell replacement shells which you can purchase under the Compatible Items section below.

If you just want a spare key and are not fussed on having the remote we can make you a manual transponder key. You can also see this option under compatible items. It is very important to check if your car has an integrated alarm system by locking it using the lock button on your remote, wait for 1 minute then open the door using the key manually and NOT press the unlock button. If the alarm goes off then you will need a spare key with a remote, if the alarm does not go off then you can have a spare manual transponder key such as the 

This flip key has a number of advantages over the plastic body OEM key in that:

1. The flip key contruction is much stronger than the plastic Honda shell and far less likely to break

2. The flip key folds so it is easier to store in your pocket or bag

3. The flip key will not tear the lining of your pockets as the key folds away and so will not dig into your lining.

The key is supplied with a battery and with the key blade fitted to the flip key body. Spare batteries can be purchased under the Compatible items tab.

Please note the measurements given under the Data Sheet for the key are for the folded flip key and so the length measurement given does not include the key blade when it is in the open position.

We write the codes to the chip on this circuit board specific to working with this model of car. This type of aftermarket key can have many different codes written to it, so even though you may see other keys for sale that look identical to this one, please note they may not have the same information written to the citcuit board and so may not be suitable for your car.
