Complete New Keys For Previa / Estima '01 - How?

[PreviaMama]

Greetings fellow members.

On a recent travel i got my bag stolen, and in ít was the only key and remotye control i have for my '02 Previa II.

Toyota insist all Locks has to be changed and a new remote must be recoded. Prices is beyond 1500 $, which is more than the value of this car that has clocked more than 300k km!

I am calling out t hear if you members have other - and more reasonable - esperiences?

Shouldn't it be possible to order a new and correct coded key from Toyota?

Any feedback is welcome

You have several options:

Go to a breakers and obtain a set of locks with keys.

Purchase an alarm with remote

Get a locksmith to make a key using a barrel from the vehicle

Purchase a newer vehicle

There may be other options too.
