I need a key to start my Arnage. I have a 2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label and the keys are missing. I understand that Bentley is no longer supplying them and have confirmed with Ft Lauderdale Bentley that they will not be getting any more of them. I also know that they will not program a key that they don’t sell which I think is absolutely crazy since this was a $250,000 car to begin with. I now have a very expensive driveway decoration that I can’t start or move. Does anyone have any idea where or who can get a key blank, chip, and get it programmed? Or can you take a complete ignition with key from a parts car like they have on ebay? Bypass security? Any help would be amazing. Thanks Mike

It’s the 2001-2002 Keys they are out of. Still no solution. It’s like a real expensive driveway paperweight.

Still looking for a work around as Bentley is of no help. No plans on ever making them again. No one has blanks and even if you could find them the dealer won’t program or cut one they didn’t sell you. Absolutely insanity.

Called every locksmith, called every Bentley dealer out there, these 01-02 Arnage key blanks are all gone. So where I’m at now is that Bentley no matter what will not cut or program any key they didn’t sell you direct. There are two on ebay, fresh uncut blanks. Don’t understand why they can’t make an exception based on the lack of a solution from them. I decided to buy a parts car key and I just pulled the ignition today. My plan is to just pull the lock pins and let it free rotate with the used key. Then find someone to program it to the car. Do you think this will work? I was even thinking to send it to Bentley and just say “hey it just stopped working, can you fix it, and let them program the use key to the car. Does anyone know of there is a fresh transponder chip I can put in it, I’ve read it’s a common one. And suggestions are welcome.

I was thinking about this method as well. Anyone confirm this would work?? It’s a couple thousand gamble.

Just a quick update. I learned a ton figuring this out and was able to remove the ignition and make it so a key would work with the cylinder. Was very hard and complicated and took learning 100s of hours of new skills. Figured out how to pair that key to the vehicle and got it running. If anyone if missing or lost their keys for their Bentley Arnage and needs someone to come fix it I'd be happy to fly out and do it for a fee of course. This will make your car run again and worth big money.

Fort Lauderdale, FL. I spent all of covid lock picking and picked the 7 pin yale lock and repinned it for a used key I bought on ebay. Just need to program it now. If anyone need a Yale Bentley Ignition lock picked I'll fly out for $3500 plus air and room and pick it for you same day lol.
