Key Fob-remote locking

[fergus]

Hi all,

My keyfob which I press to activate the locking etc has 'split' and needs replacing. can this be done throught a normal Toyota dealer or is ther a better source of these. What info will be required to make sure that any new fob provided open my car (is there some frequency setting info ?)

regards

When you say it has split, do you mean that the grub screw holding the two halves together has disappeared?
This happened to mine and I found that a replacement was un-obtainable from Toyota UK as "we don't have the software to programme the fobs on imported vehicles". This was from a dealer who has been very helpful on all other parts for the truck, so I believe him.
I drilled through the fob and replaced the grub screw with a tiny BA nut and machine screw from a model shop - works a treat!

thats exactly the problem and hopefully the solution too. i guessed ther would be difficulty getting a fob re-programmed to match an imported surf. Sounds like a weekend job for microscope and tweezers etc
