Replacement Key Fobs

[swissrob]

hello all, long time lurker, first time poster and looking for some advise...

recently bough a 2000 yaris with only 30K miles on it !

it only came with 1 master key ( 2 buttons) and I want to make another key.

i believe i can do this by buying a blank key from eBay and then buying a used key also from eBay and re programming the key.

what do i need to look for on a used key to get the correct transmitter? i have seen lots of valeo versions but my key has CE 0122 back is this the model type? searching on the net doesnt give many hits with that - the transmitter inside the key deosnt have any numbers on it.

would a CE0123 work?

thanks for any tips or advice you may ive.

thanks in advance

Did you get the key code when you bought the car ?

If so quote that to your local dealer and they should be able to get you one.

Or even try Timsons they do them

yep the dealer can do it but im not going to pay £230 !!

i tried a CE2013 chip but it doesnt programme... or im doing it wrong!

however with the reprogramme procedure the confirmation from the car where it locks and unlocks the doors it always 1 more than my selection on the ignition.

i am assuming that when reprogamming a used chip you need to do it in 3 stages....

rewrite, add and then confirm?

or is it just rewrite?

Not sure mate to be honest never had to reprogram my keys before. I will ask at work for you mate ?

As I work for a car dealer

that would be good, thanks for that.

i have found a few keys on fleabay that i suspect have tokai chips so waiting to hear back from the sellers in the meantime

[swissrob]

after some eBay searching i managed to find some eBay keys that have the older tokai chip ( the grey one with a clear Battery cover) i bought 1 last night for £15 and a blank key casing and blade for £4

ill try programming the chip when it arrives and provide feedback.

for anyone that has added a second key to the car can you give me a quick run down of how you did it.. did you have to do the rewrite/confirmation thing??
