Needing some advice about my key. I only have a grey key which I've been told is the master key, it only works with the main locks and ignition. Its doesnt lock luggage compartments and i have to manually open each door. Is there anything i can do about this such as get a fob for central locking and somehow locking luggage areas. All help is appreciated
The grey key is the valet(secondary) key, you will need a black master key cut and coded which maybe expensive.
Possibly cheaper to replace the locks and ECU buying from a breaker in our Affiliates section.
Where was the car bought from, is there any chance of contacting the previous owner just in case they have the main key.
Thanks, its not a major issue for me as i don't use any of the compartments. It might something i will look at in the future. I've contacted them and that was the only key they got when they got the car.
You could try your local Toyota dealer for the key code number for your car. They gave me mine, after quoting £20 for the code then gave it to me for free when I said I wasn't interested enough to pay!
With that code you could get a master key cut from an online provider (TOY41 key blank) as many cut direct from codes, you 'd also need a new immobilliser and alarm fob insides.
.....thinking about it a new ECU and locks keys may be the easier one-off solution!!
