Activating a new key( Toyota Echo 2004)

[cammy]

Just bought a new key from Toyota. Took it to the locksmith to have it cut, and then a friend of mine activated the key for me (got the procedure from Toyota)...

If have a Toyota Echo Sedan 1.5L 2004. If you are looking for the procedure to activate your key, contact me.

so how much in total did the whole thing cost?

[stylzjhn]

I bought a key for $30 and got it cut for $10 and programmed it myself. :D

how many keys does toyota give you for a new vehicle 1 or 2

Can I please get the key activation instructions. Thanks...

my 99 echo only came with one key.. i figured it was probably a good idea to get a second just in case i do something stupid like lock my keys in my car at home then have to bother with getting RAC all the way out to my house to retrieve my keys. but as it is a second hand car i dont have the immobiliser number or anything.

would the process be much the same as it is to the yaris new keys? ill have to call toyota on monday when im at work too make sure. im just glad i found this thread or i'd be trying to sort this out for weeks

Thanks Rob. Do you know if those intructions will work with a new key from ebay that has a blank chip in it?

[rob323]

No idea sorry. If it works for a Toyota key, then it should work for the ebay key, unless they provide their own instructions on how to do it.

Hi mate, sorry to be a pain. So with a new key from toyota and then having it cut to match my key this should work to activate the new key?

The chip in my key is totally destroyed and doesnt work. So a new key is required.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, or try it with an ebay key first to save some money. I have heard of people buying ebay keys and coding them successfully.

The chip in my key is totally destroyed and doesn't work. So a new key is required.

Just curious, how did you damage your key?

Hi guys I've got an 05 Echo and the shell is damaged but the electronics are fine. If I buy a replacement shell from Toyota can I just get the key cut and screw open the shell and put my current(still working) electronics in it?
