Lost Master Key - Toyota Yaris Forums

jmanous · 09-25-2015, 02:29 PM

I had the lost key floating for months (I was away for work).

Let me give you the story.

1. Called two dealers around my area.
- Told them I lost the only master key.
- They told me ~$500.
- Asked them if my car has immobilizer or not (based on the VIN).
- They *both* replied YES.
- Got troubled - based on your replies, I shouldn't have. My ignition is aluminium only.

2. At last got back, went in person to the dealer (one of the two).

- I asked him again - "Does my car has immobilizer?"
- He answered "I don't know - there is nothing relevant on the database for your car"

3. I got a key cut from the dealer -$8.

4. Started my car and left.

Thanks for your valuable help.
