Branners Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 more to the point, does anybody actually have a transponder in their key? Import or UK? I havent heard of any of them having one so it will be good to find out. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery very long story,basically Royal Mail lost mine when I sent them to the insurers - they are covered for £500 so I am looking to get toyota to send me an invoice for some to recoup the lost ones (even though it doesnt matter as I dont have the supe no more) If anyone else can suggest something that was "in" the parcel which I sent to the insurers which toyota sell (must be small light item like keys etc... but expensive) please please tell me because im running out of ideas ! Or even a toyota which has transponder keys - but consider I will need the chassis number and model code before they release any paperwork to me.

Matt Harwood Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I can almost guarantee, Supra's never came fitted with transponder keys. I think John, (Foodfreak), has a 2000 model and that certainly doesn't have a transponder. Just to clear up any confusion, a transponder equipped key doesn't actually do anything. It passively disarms a built in immobiliser as you switch on the cars ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 You mean that there is a button on the key to do the locking instead of on a seperate fob like for instance my clifford jobber for remote locking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Both my Supes, I can lock the doors by a button on the key, and unlock, but this wont arm the alarm, to do that I use the spearate key fob for the alarm which alarms and locks. Is this a transponder......(sounds like something out of Star-trek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a transponder......(sounds like something out of Star-trek) Nope. Supra's don't have transponders! A transponder is something that's built into the plastic part of the ignition key. You don't actually DO anything with a transponder, it's all automated. Transponders on cars are generally only immobilisers, (99%). As the key is switched to the ignition position, a signal is sent out from the car's electronics, and it wait's for a reply from the transponder unit before it will allow the car to start. This takes a cou[ple of nano-seconds so generally you would never even know it was there. If the transponder signal doesn't get back to the car, (wrong key, or a hot wire attempt), the car simply won't start. So, just to clarify... Supra's don't have transponders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
