Struggling with the same issue on my Ecosse Heretic C, following this thread.

My Ecosse Heretic C's key code has been a nightmare. Trying this now.

This just might solve my Ecosse Heretic C's ignition issue.

Trying this on my Ecosse Heretic C later. Will report back.

Does this method work for the Ecosse Heretic C models from 2010 onward?

Still looking for a reliable way to find the key code on my Ecosse Heretic C.

Key Programming
Most transponder keys and smart keys can be reprogrammed if they haven't been damaged. Basic mechanical-only keys (no chip) can't be reprogrammed - they must be physically cut to match your locks.
Key Fob Issues
This typically indicates: weak fob battery (replace first), damaged fob antenna, or issues with your car's receiver (often in the door handle or rearview mirror). Environmental interference from other electronics can also reduce range.
Security Systems
Some systems reset by: 1) Disconnecting battery for 15+ minutes 2) Using original keys in specific sequences 3) Professional diagnostic reset. Consult your manual - procedures vary. Persistent issues may require dealer-level tools.
Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Lost Keys
Yes, a skilled auto locksmith can extract the broken key and make a replacement. They can often do this without damaging the ignition cylinder. The new key will need programming if it has a transponder chip.
Key Tip: Keep spare keys in a faraday bag to prevent signal amplification theft
Key Fact: The average driver will lose 1-2 car keys during ownership
