New transponder key programming from subset keys

[mel]

Hi guys

I have purchased a 2007 Kluger and noticed that it has only a single subset key and not the masterkey. The previous owner had lost the Master key along with the keyless remote. Apparently they were given only one remote but two sets of keys. This owner did call up toyota who advised that it would cost 400 dollars to create another set of key (not too sure about the remote though).

Now, i did read the forum before with people saying that master keys can be made from subset keys. Does anyone have any place in Melbourne where they program these keys. I want to see if there is some place who can make it cheaper than the Toyota dealers.

Also with regards to the remote, can we set up a new remote for the car though without the help of old one. I know we can program a new remote if you have the old one. But can you do it fresh without the old remote for the Kluger

Please give me some ideas. Hope someone has had some experience in figuring this out.

Hi

I called up Mr Minit who told me that it would cost 150 dollars to create a new key from the subset keys. So this means that they could do it from subset keys.

The only solution for remote is to install a new WARLOCK remote keyless entry which can be made to program with your central locking. I spoke to an installer who said that he could get the unit and installed for 160 dollars. I would also speak to Toyota and see how much they would ask to get a new remote programmed.

I am not sure if this ss this the only way to go ahead.

Do let me know if someone has got better ideas.

regards
