Passenger door lock is stuck - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks Scott, Norton and Gabriel,

The key has no chip. I had it made locally for under $5 and it works smoothly on all the 3 locks. They had a machine that appears to read some kind of code from the actual metal "hills" and "valleys" on the key. The good spare key was used to make the new key.

The old worn out key is probably not good for much anymore. But maybe that code can still be read from the worn out key. If so, I'll keep it. If not, probably best to just recycle the metal.

QUESTION: Does anybody know if the worn out key still has a reabable code?

Thanks,

R
