Does anyone know if this key would be compatible with OZ spec 150's? Could you program the key yourself? I haven't approached OZ Toyota yet, that might be my next step.

I seem to remember that a replacement from Toyota was approx. $500

Cheers

There's also a smart watch available in Japan. I looked into it a bit and everything seemed to suggest they use a different radio frequency?

Supposedly, if the FCC number (I think that's the one) is the same, then it is compatible and a dealer can program it for you.

Had one of my keys stolen from wife's handbag in Melbourne. Toyota supplied a new programmable key for $398 (this was discounted as I'm a regular customer). Free of charge they unprogrammed the two old keys (the one I still had and the stolen one) and then reprogrammed the new key and my existing key to work with my car. This way the stolen key no longer works on my car and is no longer a theft threat. It is then necessary to get the little emergency key that slides in and out of the programmable key pad cut to match my car. As it needed to be hand cut on both sides, the nearby locksmith charged me $38 to do it. All up AUD$436. Why go to Japan?

Have you guys even looked at the eBay ad? It's a smart card style key... Just a little different from the Australian key...

I understand it's more expensive but really like the style of the transponder. It would fit quite easily into your wallet and reduce pocket clutter (always checking which one my phone is in).

Anyway, the price and functionality means nothing if it isn't compatible with our 150's.

Do Toyota have a programming sequence, or do they use the unintelligent tester thingy?
