Best source for transponder chips and blanks

Postby SteveSharrow » 19 Apr 2015 10:59

Has anybody here had any experience with purchasing JMA blanks and clonable chips? I am looking for a supplier that does not require one to be an actual locksmith (I am in the process of opening a key cutting stand at a flea market and just purchased a used JMA cloner. Key craze looks pretty good, as but lockpicks.com but they do not have JMA chips and chipless key shells.

Have you had decent luck with stuff off Alibaba? I was always under the impression that most of it is a scam.

Very good history with products from their vendors. It's all straight from China.

Where do you think US distributors order all of their chips from? I'll give you one guess.

Even Flake is running a new remote programmer in their latest catalog for $650. It's brand new to the market and never been released before! Well in the US at least because you can order them all day for under $150 from China and they have been available there for a couple of years.
