Key fail (where to buy just the key transistor)
I recently bought a flip key from the internet becuase i have always been jelious of my friend who owns a VW Golf GTI with the flip key !!!
I love this so i decided to buy one for my self.
I recived the package i had been waiting for 2 weeks for and ,like a small child at christmas i ripped own the packaging and looked at the coooool flip key.
I swapped the parts and then i came to the part of removing the transitor (a small chip glued which disables the immobilizer) i heated it up and began to relise it from its location untill i got over excited and brought out the pliers i griped the chip and crack !! the transistor broke... The all to familar feeling of an epic fail hit my chest i ran to my car to see if by a slim chance i could make the key work but no!!!
All that went through my head was stealership
But i was wondering if any of you scion gurus know of a way to by just the transistor. And a cheap way of programing the chip.
becuase i have the remote locking moduel and i know i can get the empty scion shell for $15 so if i can get just the transistor i well save a good $120 or if not if any one knows how to remove the chip from the key with out the remote locking key.
Anyway i am a risk taker and with my second key i removed my transitor and now i have a flip key which in my oppion looks cooler than the VW one .
BUT i would realy like a spare just in case !!!
Thanks for any help you guys can give me sorry if there is any grammor errors.

I was looking around and i found a few websites that sell transponders how ever one requires you to be a lock smith and the other is a wholesale china website http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/toyo...der-chips.html
does any one know how to remove a transoponder from a valet key or has any one tried this

I found it http://www.automam.net/keyblanks.htm they sell individual transponders and you can get the key programed at most places including homedepot for around $50 and it cost $11 for the transponder with shipping and $15 for shell so it should cost about $76 for a new key not bad
