Not likely--you're pretty much locked into the dealer for stuff like this. The lesson here is, don't lose transmitter keys.
They didn't give you a spare when you bought the car? My Fit came with two.

I had to replace the remote fob for my Avalon a few years back.dealer wanted $275 ... I got my replacement from: http://www.keylessride.com/ for considerably less.
They send instructions on how to reprogram the receiver for the new transmitter. I did a search on the 2007 Yaris replacement and it looks like they are a LOT more expensive. Doug |

One thing that people are learning every day is that automakers are trying harder every year to come up with ways to reduce the number of vehicles that are stolen. This means that keys and remotes are becoming more and more complex. IF you can find a key blank for a lower price good luck, but you STILL will have to go to the dealer to get it cut and programmed, because the Yaris key blank is not availaboe for cut by aftermarket locations. This keeps someone from "borrowing" your car some day and copying your keys. Also, almost every car made after 2006 must have the key programmed using a dealer specific tool. This ALSO prevents someone with a blank copy from programming their "false" key to your car and stealing it.

the Yaris has an incredible amount of interior room, comparable to the Camry... Last edited by slimpi66y; 12-28-2007 at 07:41 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
