Ok. so i have a 2006 scion tc. i got the car used and it didnt come with the master key. and i have managed to loose the other key sunday. i brought the car to my dealer and they tell me they cant make another key because the immobilizer or the ecu want let them in. they are wanting to charge me 399 for a new key, 875 for a new ecu, new battery, and labor on it all. im looking at around 2000 for a dang key. can anyone help? can i buy a used ecu, immobilizer, and keys if it comes all in a set? it would be all out of the same car. I need help guys. Please let me know. thanks

 

Man they are trying to get as much money as out of you as possible. Call a lock smith and see what they say, its very possible for them to help you!

 

i have now found my valet key but not the master key. the car is still at the dealer and its closed. the car has always cranked with the valet key. even though they have messed with the computer, should the key still crank the car? please help. thanks

 

sorry to hear about that... I would say go somewhere else... the valet key should crank the car but it wont let them in your glove box.... As long as they have your vin number they should be able to get the code from scion for a new key 300 bucks for a key is probably about right.... new ecu....wrong.... just from what i heard.

 

That's BS about the ECU, they just have to submit your vin to Toyota and have the new key made, 300 bucks.

 

yep^^^ I would go off on them too....lowlife's
call a locksmith

 

i just went through getting new keys made and they can make a new key from a vallet key because thats all i had when i bought my car. now if you want i can give the contact details for the guy i bought the new keys from off ebay but they were just vallet keys and didnt have all the buttons like the regular master key does but they still work because i had a aftermaket alarm installed
just pm me and ill try and help you out if you want

 

Friend of mine got a key copied for his lexus that has the weird channel like engraving in it (is 300) and they did it right in the parking lot at work. Worked perfect. Wasn't expensive either. Maybe 75 or 100
