When i got my tC 3 months ago the dealer gave me 2 keys and a valet. Someone in my house that won't fess up "misplaced" my spare. I read somewhere about the dealer cangive you up to five keys... Also read somehere on here that keys cost around $200. So will I have to pay for a new key so I canhave a spare? Thanks.

 

yes, you'll have to pay for a new key. The dealer will not just give you one, lol. There have been a few blanks on ebay, for much cheaper, but I don't know much trouble you'd hae to go through to get it cut/programmed.

 

You can use the valet key as a spare, you just wont have the buttons. Or, just never lock your keys in your car and you won'y need a spare.

If you get a key on Ebay make sure its a scion made key!! Getting it cut can be done at a local hardware store I assume. Getting it programmed to the car is another story. Without the programming to the car it will not start it.

 

Anyone know if the key's are covered under warrenty, My key looks like butt from pressing it...

 

I'm sure the functionality is covered, but I don't know about the "looks" of the buttons.
