Code Card

[Lengthofwire]

Having just bought a SH 250 Evo X9, I have now learned that I should have a "Code Card", although I do have the "Red Key".  What are the long term implications of this, and is there a way round any problems?

[Dave Milnes]

Not a problem. The code card simply gives the mechanical reference cut of the keys so a locksmith can cut a replacement without an old key as reference. It has no immobiliser relevance which is the main issue. The master key is the all important item.

if you bought evo 250 like me you must have your "Code Card" because with this card you go to piaggio and you kenn buy spare key for your scooter, and then without any problem you kenn make you scooter to run .

That's right, it allows new keys to be sourced with the same cut and a cloned chip either from Piaggio or a quality keysmith if you were to break or lose the original. If you already have a good working key to copy from it isn't needed.
It has no relevance to the immobiliser.
