Just bought a late 2011 PRADO GX KDJ150R. It only came with 1 smart key.
It's the type with push button start and you need the transponder fob in your pocket to start it.
I bought an identical smart key of Gumflea for $200, thinking I'd save a bit over dealer prices.
Took it to local dealer for programming / coding but they told me it was already coded to another vehicle and it can't be changed to my car.
I queried this with the bloke I bought it off. He said it can be done, there is a "trick" to it and a dealer should be able to do it for me. Very confusing.
Anyone know how/where I can get it re-programmed? I'm in Gold Coast / Brisbane area.
Thanks.
