New key barrel fitted but car now doesn't recognise 'new' key.

[bolam]

I lost my key fob, MG dealership fitted new key barrel The dealership still has the car. They are unable to fix the problem so far. The real question is this : is there anyone who knows or has experience of replacing locks in a mg zs ev. It's been 4 weeks now. Any suggestions?

Why on earth did the dealership not test and confirm that new key at the point of repair?

Why would they fit a new key barrel? They should have just ordered a new fob and reprogrammed it to the car. All they need is the Vin Number.

The problem is we lost a key and we fear the blade key may be used to steal the car.
