Non-toyota Key Problem.

[siennaman]

Hi, has anyone out there had a factory key duplicated and then have it not start the

car? I just had my factory key duplicated for my 2004 Sienna it opens the door and fits in the ignition and turns the engine over but the car will not start with this key. I took out the key and tried the factory key and it started right up. Is there a chip/magnet or something in the factory key? Thanks!

contact Mr T, the key may not be coded properly

did you get the key duplicated from Mr T, or private key cutters?

there is a chip in the key, without it(or dead Battery in the key) the car wont start

PS welcome to the family

you have an immobiliser i'd say.you normally get two keys the black one is the master and the grey one is a spare and the one toyota like to copy.but only toyota can make a propper copy of that key so take it to them.
