Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct forum. My wife bought a 2007 used 4dr sedan a couple of years ago, and the remote for the keyless entry broke off of the key. She took it in to Toyota and they cut a new blank for her, so now we have 2 standard valet keys and are using these to drive the car. The problem is that she lost the remote and I thought it would be a nice gesture to buy her 2 new remotes off ebay for mother's day so she could open the doors without having to physically unlock the doors.
To make a long story short, I tried programming the keys (link to part purchased is here http://www.ebay.com/itm/261089447525?item=261089447525&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr) but didn't have any luck. I then took the car in to Toyota and they tried and again no luck and I'm now out of pocket $60 buck for labour. I contacted the seller and they indicated I needed a different key (here's the part they suggested: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251140801117;jsessionid=9A8CFAFB2A12880206D2109D34 0D8C30?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fsch%2Fi.html% 3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D251140801117%2 6_rdc%3D1).
At this point I'm now gun shy and only have returned the keys and haven't ordered the new ones. Does anyone (TCScott) have any suggestions on what to do now?
