Replacement key fob

[andoland Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close andoland]

I went to Toyota last week and got a price for a replacement key fob. I was expecting the price to be ridiculous and it was:
Transmitter $399.91
Key $81.44
Transponder programming $74.25
Key cutting $50

I can live without the key as I don't think i've ever used it in 6 years, but even without it the new transponder and programming is $474.

I've found a few potential alternatives on ebay.

This one is supposed to be genuine and $100 cheaper than Toyota quote. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272534348477

This are a couple of non-genuine ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-10...4AAOSw0UdXwF~6

Has anybody tried a non-genuine one and how did you get it programmed?

I think you can only code the key fob with a fully registered copy of Techstream. Not the ebay versions

Bugger. Ask your local Mechanic is his scan toll will do it.
