Replacement key fob

Postby Smokey » Tue Feb 19, 2013 5:03 pm

Have a '02 RX Liberty and lost the key fob. Do not have the metal tag with code. :(
How do I go about getting a replacement?
Is the original dealer my only choice?

Dealers will be able to sort it out, on a one stop basis. As in you hand them money they hand you key. I imagine you will pay upwards of $400 for this though (probably more)

Otherwise you could try and source a second hand key, the remote can be coded in easy, it's just the immobiliser that isn't so easy. I am not sure if you can recode an immobiliser chip that's been coded before, or if you have to get a new blank chip and have that coded. This will have to be done at the dealership.

Not cheap, at all. Good luck!

If you're just after a spare key and you have an original key most key cutters will have the transponders and software to do you a new one.
