michael Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just get a new one cut Toyota can sell you a blank with the logo on (and some dealers cut too), eBay has some horrific tacky key blanks you can get cut somewhere or most high street key places will have plain ones. If the existing one is a mess the new one might not work properly until the edges round off a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I phoned Toyota and they wanted £139 for a new to be cut Phone them again and tell them to STFU - they are quoting you for key with a built in chip, buttons, a torch, magic show and a tiny picture of a wombat. What you actually need is a piece of black plastic with some metal sticking out, they forget some older cars still have these and spout the price for the newer ones without thinking.

Pete Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 - they are quoting you for key with a built in chip, buttons, a torch, magic show and a tiny picture of a wombat. Ooooh! I like the sound of that. GB anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Is there a way we can convert our keys into the same style that Audi have that flick out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes. On ebay (i think) they sell something like this with a blank on, or you can cut your key off at the end and out it on the flip fitting. Cant remember where it is, give me five to search.

charlton Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Could we get a group order would love something for me motor? The guy who does the ones I found said he will do special rates for 50+ They may not be the most pretty but I was thinking of speaking to a custom platic moulding place to make custom Toyota/Supra keys using these as a mould - will probably cost a few quid though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-2-BUTTON-REMOTE-SWITCHBLADE-KEY-CONVERSION-4-TOYOTA_W0QQitemZ220196349285QQihZ012QQcategoryZ10428QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 they are not bad, would be better if there was "a no button option" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 they are not bad, would be better if there was "a no button option" Thats why I was thinking of custom mouldings.... or to put the alarm fob inside the flip key as I hate having a key, alarm fob, some over ride thing and Supra keyring to remind me and others what car I drive all on one keyring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
