New newbie meat here.

Hello all!


So about five months ago I ended up financing a 2007 Yaris Hatchback. It's literally the exact same car (color and everything) as this picture.

It roughly has less than 83k miles on it. I got it from Honda Carland.

When I received the key to the car, it was a generic key, cut to fit my car. At first I didn't think anything of it, but now that I am having theft problems (people being able to pick the locks to my car and get inside my vehicle), I'm really wanting to get an original FOB key. Essentially something like this.

Since I have tomorrow off, I was told that perhaps I should go back to the Honda Carland and ask if they have the original key or if they are able to acquire one. My (now ex) boyfriend a few months ago knew I wanted "keyless entry" so he wired and installed a remote system by Bulldog - this one in particular. He didn't wire anything but the unlock and lock mechanism. My security system is still lying dormant right now.

What I really want, and my point in this post, is to get my security system working that is actually in the car already. I'd totally prefer the system to be built into the KEY which it originally was to begin with and I'm just not sure how to go about this. A relative said I should get a starter disabler installed into my car so that I don't "need a security system or original key", it just makes it so that a person that gets inside my car can't do anything. I don't know if I should do this, or buy a key that is about $200 on ebay that has to be cut to fit my Yaris and programmed by me, go to the Honda Dealership to see if they can do anything for me or locate the original key, or go to a Toyota dealership and see what they can do.

Total newbs here. But to put it lightly, I am in love with my car. Because of these god damn theft problems, I haven't been able to drive it and it's been sitting at my house until I move in a month.
