OK I have tried searching this subject on this forum with no success.

I require a replacement key with a working remote for my 2012 Hilux SR5 

Is the overpriced dealer key my only option on this. ???

You may be able to source one via a locksmith; however, it probably won't be cheap either way.

I have phoned the dealer and they want $345 for another key. Thats including cutting and programming

BUT they will cut and program for $90 if I supply the key. I can get a uncut key and guts for $90 on ebay, but I have to open my existing key and see what number is on the chip.

My problem is; I dont want to experiment with my last working key, and I cant really see how to open it up.

I can see 1 only small (about 2mm diameter) hole in the plastic body of the key but that looks like some "reset" button.

Can anybody advise the procedure to open the key up.

Remove the key ring loops from the key.

There is a small slot in the seam of the key (at the same end as the loop hole) for a screwdriver to pop it open.

Thanks for that. I ended up getting one from the local locksmith for $240.
