Ah well, you can buy Chinese kit to do what you need anyway, just throw the ids away after 2013.
I'm going to be using mine on a 15 plate custom, mate bought it from a dealer and the next day the engine warning lamp came on
I suspect that the dealer is just clearing the codes then selling them to unsuspecting customers.
Too many instances of ppl buying them and the lamp coming on virtually straight away.
Brother paid 17.5k cash for his, drove it 8 days and it came up with adblu fault, they've had it a month now and let's just say he's not happy.
I did offer him my custom but nooooo he wanted lwb and black (ended up with blue).
Paul you can buy a standalone key programmer for euro 5 models can't you.
Using a standalone device to program keys is fine.

You are right. Soon will be too costly for IO's
