    I need to make a spare key for my 1995 F355 GTS.
    What hoops must I jump through to get this done
    I recall that the blanks must be directly from Maranello.
    Is this correct?
    Thanks
    I love this forum
    PS How do I get an order for the cool 355 hat and shirt?

    OEM keys are still available from the factory. Last month ordered a new key and immobilizer key from a Ferrari dealer and two weeks later the key its self came from maranello already cut and ready to use. They only needed my registration document and two forms of identification that was faxed through to Maranello. It was an easy processes. In the picture bellow the new key and immobilizer is on the left.

    Wow! First time I have seen the little "USB Looking" plug in. This is for a 355? Where is the plug in location?
    Guess you can learn something new every day!

    The immobilizer slot is just forward of the ignition. Simply plug in and pull out to get an audible bleeping to let you know its disarmed. The cost of both key and immobilizer key was £57 (UK Sterling) I needed a spare of each being that i only ever had one and was in fear of loosing it. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of getting a new 355 key from the factory already cut, and so cheep:)
    In my years of ownership it has never let me down in anyway by the way, and the car also has the Ferrari hand held alarm remote controll security as well.
    Regarding the immobilizer key slot, this could be just a UK thing, i have seen quite a few over here.
    I also have a Ferrari security card with the immobilizer number on it. This could have also been used to get a replacement.
    But the ignition key is still available from the factory and cut.

    Tiny horses are available at ricambi .. :)

    ..this can be done ... ;)

    ;)

    Apparently the keys are available pre-cut to your car from the dealer...................... you just have to jump a few hoops as mentioned above ......... :eek:

    The basic 6061-T6 alloy 'goth key' will be comparably priced ........................ and the 'titanium goth key' will be more ............. so its the dealer for exact replacements..... and here for these .... :D

    But i would have one of your 'titanium goth key' anyday of the week:) At the time of buying the Factory key last month, there was very little choice. Like i said i was shocked when i was told no problem, i was only asking a casual question to the dealer.
    But yes when you start selling the Titanium units then i will be in for one please.:)
