| You would need to give us a little more detail about your car. I would think it was quite likely but I'm not 100% on the Felicia.

| I have never seen a UK spec Felicia without one. It has been a requirement that all cars sold new since about 1995 should have a factory fitted system. Solit the key and look to see if there is a transponder chip inside, this will look like a scrap of black plastic. |

| Hi can you take the transponder out of the key to use with a new key or is it attached to the metal part on the key thanks |

| Just remember to open up the key in a well lit area or you might lose the chip form inside the key...just as i did recently! |
