Ok quick rundown...
parked at a municipal airport, traveling in pittsburgh CANT FIND MY SPARE KEY!
So i fly back at 330pm today and LUCKILY there is a scion dealership like 2 minutes from the airport....

Does anyone know if i JUST get the key cut, will it start the car?
I dont want to spend 50 on a keyless entry fob if i dont need it. I just need to open the door, get in and start it so i can get home to my other set of keys.

I called service and FIRST he was like thats a transponder key
and i was like umm it looks like a cheap flat key to me
than he put me on hold and said its 13 dollars and it will start the car

I just dont wanna NOT have someone come and drop my other keys and inconvience them when i can just handle it


CLIFF NOTES

With a regular xb with NO upgraded alarm
if i get another key cut will it open the door and start

THANKS!- Mike

 

13 bucks seems reasonable

I have an 06..had an 05 neither of them had a transponder key

 

So will the key work and not need the entry fob?

 

it should...

our keys are chipless..at least mine are


yeah..it should work

 

ask if you can get a refund of your 13 bucks if it doesnt start your car

they did tell you it would work? didnt they?

 

It will start your car and after you do drive back to the dealership and ask for your money back because you educated him on his products.

Our keys are not chipped and you do not need the keyless entry fob either. I lost mine years ago.

 

excuse me, i just woke and gettin my coffe dosage, so i'm a little off, but are u saying u lost the key ? u have no key on au at all at the moment and u need the dealership to make u one so u can open the car ?
or are u saying u lost 1 key but u still have one on you at the moment ?

 

Mike, the key will open the door and start the car. We dont have a chipped key.

 

like I said
13 bucks is a great price

have any idea what a locksmith costs?

go pay the 13 bucks and go home already

 

As everyone else said, we have regular keys, nothing special about them. Just getting them to cut one will work fine.

 

I live in NY, car is parked in NJ and i'm currently in pittsburgh (FLYING BACK THIS AFTERNOON)

i was going to do the cutting of a key thing, so i wouldnt have to make my friend or father drive all the way from NY to NJ to meet me at the car so i can get into it.(with the spare)
I figured taking a cab to the dealer and back to the car was the easiest.

I posted here so later at like 5pm i wouldn't be stuck with a key that opened the door and not starting the car
i was chasing it down early so i would be good to go later in the day.

Get it now? =D

 

Thanks!!
I can't catch a damn break!! hahah

 

of course you cought a break

you dont have to spring for a 50 dollar key with a transponder in it

 

Ended up being the luckiest guy on earth.
I get on our corporate shuttle plane after i had our corporate travel people check everything for the keys.

I finally give up... sit down on the plane (which was the SAME ONE and CREW) i flew out with on tuesday......
