First off, Hello All! I have been enjoying this forum for a while, lots of very helpful and informative info on here! Thanks for that!
Now to the FIASCO, After purchasing a 2005 Hundy about a year and a half ago which came with two keys one remote key (master) and one non remote (master) or so I believe from everything I have read on here about the security light, last weekend someone stole my keys. (Yeah doesn't make sense to me either.) So, now I have only the non-remote key. After a visit to the local Stealership to see about getting a new key they quoted $330 (which seemed outrageous) I bought two remote keys online for $170. But know the same Stealership says that they cannot program a new key from my key because it is an aftermarket key not the original. And wanted to charge $220 + tax to reboot the ECU.
After contacting another Toyota Dealer (who said $250 for a new key) he says that the only thing that matters is that it is a master key. and says for $69.95 he can program a new key.
So, is there any truth to what these guys are telling me? Have any of you guys/gals been through this Hoopla before? I have Searched and read every thread that I could find but nothing that really discussed this particular scenario. Sorry for the long post!
Cheers!
