I am located in australia. the dealership I purchased the car from only provided me with one set of correct keys and two sets of incorrect keys(belong to some other cars). I realised the mistake late last year. I contacted them to seek the whereabout of the other keys with no success.
I made 2 duplicates of the keys but they cannot start the engine (because these duplicates haven't been programmed) Yesterday, I lost that only set of workable key. I contacted the dealerday again today to see if they can provide me with a new master key(that is programmed to match my car)
Their(the dealership) response now is: because you lost your master key, they cannot simply duplicate the key. but to change the system and the code of my car altogether and to manufacture a new master key for me. AT MY COST. which they quoted could be around AUS $2500 My dad suggested me to contact the toyota factory directly to get the code. He believes all the details are stored in their worldwide database
