Spare Key for Gen7

[bazz54]

I'd like to get a spare key for my Celica (Gen7). Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to do this?

Thanks

It's been a while since I've had to do this but in principal it's quite easy, buy a blank + get it cut ( make sure it's the right size one obv), then you have to do a couple of different 'pedal + door ' dances to program it-that mite take a few tries + bit of research.

Also reprogramming second-hand fob internals is easier too

I need to do the same.  I'm down to my last key after my previous key snapped in half in the ignition, making it useless.  From my very small amount of research I found the key shell on autowave.co.uk and have heard some key-cutters may be able to do the programming.  I'm not sure though.  I don't quite understand where I can get the actual internal/button part of the key.

I've bought a few new blanks in the past they can be a mixed bag of whether the fob internals will work, a second-hand fob ( yaris s etc of same era mite work too) is easier, programming sequence I think is diy able from memory

I'm after a spare key for my wife's MK2 aygo 2015 reg.

Now the issue with locksmiths is that they can clone the main key where Toyota dealer will actually program the key as a separate key. I think this can be done with tech stream software but it's something I gonna have to try once I get some time.

Since car only came with 1 key but did have 2 keys from new the spare key needs to be removed from the cars programming. The blade is easy part to copy.

Apparently reprogramming a different key is easy too for remote central locking control.

I'm looking at the mo for another car I've got whilst I'm trying to preserve my Celica miles, I've noticed there are quite a lot of quite inexpensive key programming tools available nowadays

Sadly, I'm on the wrong side of 70, and so words like streaming and cloning just make my blood run cold 🥶. Also, I live out in the sticks, so the sort of specialist services who can do this sort of work may be hard to find. I wonder if a phone call to the local Toyota dealer might be worthwhile. Otherwise, I guess some internet searching might be useful?

Oh, perhaps this is not so hard after all; see https://www.timpson.co.uk/services/car-keys Branches at your local major tesco or sainsbury's.

 

A non-remote key is £89  and a universal remote is £149 (looks like they can do the programming in the car park. Manufacturer original key £306.

That simple 🤔

I'm sure I read on Facebook Toyota dealer charges 130 quid for a non remote key programmed to your car. Will check with dealer I will be with them on Thursday to pick up parts

Don't know if this is of any use to you . . . . i used it to re programme the key modules from second hand key fobs bought off ebay.

The second hand ebay module was transferred to the newly cut key for the car.

This is a guide I have used sucessfully 3 times.It's a lot of messing about and any incorrect step will require starting from scratch.

My particular circumstances are that I still have the two original keys supplied with the car. Long story short, is that my Gen7 is now in my Will and I'd like to give the recipient at least a basic non-remote key now  while I'm still around, just to be safe. Sorry to get a bit morbid 🙁. I think I'll give Timpsons a try.
