    Other than the $1300 a dealer wants? I lost one set of my key and remote FOB. Luckily I have a spare key and black FOB AND the Red FOB with the pin code. I wanted to buy a key and FOB to replace my lost one, but thought the dealer price was very silly. Is there an aftermarket FOB that is a rplacement that can be programmed like the original and does anyone know where I can get a key blank and have it cut?
    THANKS

    Jeffrey,

    Contact Mark (gobble) on this forum. He can help you with a programmed replacement fob

    Ricambi America sells a key blank which can be easily cut by a locksmith.

    I see Ricambi are no longer selling those nice key blanks with the silver cavallinos on them. However, they are selling no-name blanks which can be cut by your local locksmith.

    I have a blank metal Ilco 355 key that you can have for free. Just pm me your address and promise to pay it forward to someone else. I also have a blank Silca and OEM key, but wasn't planning on selling those (make me an offer if interested). Judd

    Thanks guys.... got a hold of Mark. I just found an uncut carbon fiber key blank I got 10 years ago from a Japanese supplier. Guess now is as good a time as any to have it cut.

    What are you asking for the OEM spare key?

    I do have cheap plastic headed keys if anyone needs them. The alternatives seem to be a very expensive key from the dealer, a nice Enzo style key from Bisel, or a cheap steel key from any locksmith. I had Silca in Italy do a run of 1,000 plastic headed keys that are a cheap spare but a nice step up from just a steel key. They look like the middle one above.

    The other thing too is Reprokeys was selling a reproduction that looked exactly like the 355 original, but I believe Ferrari shut him down. I know where you can probably still get them if anyone needs one.

    I hope you're not teasing. I want one and you plan on coming this way? Might as well get a set of FOB. Don't need but spare set is good.

    I still trade messages with the guy occasionally and I think he has some left. I believe he was selling them for $175. If you're interested I can shoot him a message.

    Plan on coming what way? I'm not sure I understand that part.

    Just got a kick in the teeth from Eurospares.... going to give them a chance to fix things. I had ordered an OEM key last week with International FedEx for $450+ I had given them my address in North Port Florida and verified in the invoice and payment. They sent it to someone who signed for it (god knows who) in New Orleans Louisiana! I fear they will not be able to retrieve it. Just a bit ticked off while waiting to hear back from them for resolution.
