I'd like to build device which would be able to copy key fob. What would be the easiest/best approach?
More details:
My friend is running car rental company and he need some device which would be able to lock/unlock car using mobile phone (GSM module/BT module/whatever wireless). My idea is use Arduino Uno (or sth similar) and copy the key fob.
Car owner would use his key fob to teach the device and then place it in car.
I'd like to avoid buying programmed key and teaching car the new key. That would be way too complicated for car owners.

im a key cutter down here in cornwall there are non main dealers who do programing of cripto rolling code chips ,
i do fixed chiped keys up to 98ish ,then cloning of ford keys up to 2002 ish ,
now the remots on mercs are the same set up as vw ,seat ,audi ,
a guy came in to wk n wanted a new blade cutting for his newish vw ,i did ask about programing the key ,he bought a black box what pluged into the cars engine managment system n allowed him to program him self .
ive seen these for rover to allow n program the 2 button remote s,
then the new remote disarms the imbolizer ,

I simply took my existing 'remote' fob (the type with a flip key) to my local locksmith, he read the transponder code in about 1 second, cloned it to another one, then cut me a standard key (the type with the transponder in it's head) and away I went, tried it and Valla! works fine. This is now currently my spare 'key'
