Can a blue key for an HPE be cloned without the brown key?

I know there's solutions for older GTS, just need to know for the newer ECU in the HPE

At least according to the AF1 website, it seems the HPE key can be cloned the same way:

Thanks.


Although the pedant in me can't help pointing out that they don't list my 2019 hpe.

I'm not sure on this, but I think the HPE was introduced in the USA for 2020 model year while Australia got it sooner?

And model years don't always overlap calendar years. I bought a "2020 HPE" in Sept 2019.

Don't suppose that anyone has any tips I can give to my local Vespa key cutting specialist who failed?

And the local car locksmith failed.

Really don't feel relaxed with only one key with a working chip

jimc has previously suggested that auto locksmiths experienced with Fiat/Lancia keys and their blanks are a good "go to" for cloning Vespa keys.

so far I've tried 3 people, all failed. Hmm.

Are they failing on the chip part, or the key part?

From your description, I assume it's the chip. But maybe not.

When I had a key cloned for my LX, I used a mobile locksmith - he cloned the chip no problem. But his CNC machine couldn't get a working key. He ended up giving me a chip and uncut key, and I then had a traditional locksmith do the metal cutting part.

the chip. they copy it and it doesn't work then they mumble "rolling codes" and shrug their shoulders
