most toyota's are fucking expensive when you lose the keys a good auto locksmith will have to get to the immobilser box (some are behind the dash require the dash to be re-moved to access the box).

once in the box you have to remove the chip (eprom) from the circuit board read it then you can write that info onto a new key!

it's not cheap though......


getting into the car is easy with a lock pick or jiggler keys

the aa can do it and are resonably priced call key assit on 0870-1600110 option 5

Had a celica in the work with lost keys and could not get a spare set cut or ordered from toyota easily, think it ended costing Ł500 plus.

That was approx 4 yrs ago though so i'm sure one of these mobile key cutters will have the technology now. The aa and the rac now have their own key cutting service vans so they might be worth a shout.

I thought this was another Jap joke...

Tie her up and give her some RS mat intimidation tactics to break her into releasing info on the whereabouts of your keys... or just drag it out the way with another car and act like your not bothered that its her? lol
