![]() ![]() The reason he can't have a key made from the VIN is because he has a transponder style key system. Hmmm, if it's not one thing it's another. Secondly: Does anyone know of a locksmith that can reflash with key programming for less than $300? Now, the first question: Is there any benefit to having a new ECU over having the present one reflashed besides saving over $100? Ouch! Ok, I found a local locksmith that can reflash the ECU for $300 and program keys. Now, the bad is that the Stealer wants me to buy 2 key for about $70 and then approx $390 for ECU installation and programming. One thing I did find out that was sort of good was that my 2000 4runner can get a free ecu/ecm from Toyota for a swap out (Call Toyota NA and found out.). So, now my only options are getting a new ecu/ecm or getting someone to flash it to accept new keys. Well, I had read that but "they" made the appt. So, I go to the svc appt, wait and then have them tell me they can't program a master key from a valet. Didn't think about it till I went to the Stealer and they made an appt for me knowing that's the only key I had. (see above, says a valet key or master can be used? I saw on another post you could only use a master to program a new master?)Ĭan i use this to program a new MASTER key? I am ready to order on one ebay/amazon but want to be sure.Well, the wife loses my extra set of keys and it turns out all I have left is a valet key. Okay, so I am a bit confused: I have only the valet key, not the black master. I have acquired the ability to reset the Toyota / Lexus ECM to its "virgin" state which will allow it If there is no key available that is already programmed into the module, the module must be replaced. "The information presented below is what is being provided to the public by Toyota and ILCOġ998-2001 The Toyota Electronic Control Module does not have programming modes without a With mobile service, labor to originate the original mechanical key, 2 transponder keys at $30.00 per key and programming of the vehicle we charge $150.00 to complete this operation." We will have to come out to the car, make a working "mechanical" key and then transfer the cuts onto 2 transponder blanks. Where (besides the high priced dealer) can I get the key programmed? Or, what do I need to do to get master keys? My vehicle has the transponder built into the key. It only came with the sub-key, no masters, no key chain transmitters. I bought my 99 4 runner from a used dealer. ![]() the 03 and newer versions, the engine will not stay running w/o a chipped key. since you need either the master/valet chipped key to program another chipped key.Īs far as cutting a new key, they can usually look up the master key id and cut a new one, unless you have the master key id plate.Īs far as programming a new chipped key, i am not sure how they work prior to the 03 models, since you are able to drive the vehicle off the lot w/o a chipped key. My wife has the other master chipped key (black fob) and i keep the valet chipped key (grey fob) in the safe, in case i lose a master key. i had a sub key made to just un/lock the doors so i can run the truck during the sub zero winters and leave the master chipped key in the ignition. On the new 03-04 keys, you have 2 master chipped keys (black fob), and a valet chipped key (grey fob). Transponder keys have a black covering over them usually and be slightly bigger than the old style master keys (pre transponder keys) valet keys will start the vehicle but will not unlock the glove box master keys will unlock all locks including glove boxī. ![]()
