Yaris transponder key: do we ALL get one??
I'm scanning Ebay for key blanks for Yari, and they ALL seem to be "transponder" keys?
I don't have an alarm, ignition kill or keyless entry on my base '08 LB. I DO have the power package though. My Dads's '03 Tacoma's key was $15 at the dealer. That's for a bare bones crank windows/bench seat truck. So, on USDM Yaris cars, what's the way to tell if you have a transponder key, or just a plain old KEY! |

My '08 LB like yours has just a plain key but you may need to just go to the dealer to get extra keys made.

Nah, you can just go to a hardware store. I made a copy of my key for $1.49.

I tried a variety of hardware stores (Lowe's, Home Depot) and even WalMart and could not find a flat blank key for my Yaris (I keep one in my wallet for emergencies). I ended up going to a Toyota dealership and spending $12 to have one cut. It was highway robbery, but I have always kept a spare key in my wallet.

i'll tell you..
for the yaris, you need an ILCO TR47-P key... available at any homedepot and walmart. if the dealer just cut a blank key and handed to you, then you don't have a transponder key.. but for 12$ you get a toyota key.. hehe. |

WalMart has blanks for Yaris keys, they're just not in the lookup table. Have to test-fit it in the rolling cartridge-tester that a lot of the rank-and-file key-machine operators never get shown how to use and think is off-limits or some kind of adjustment tool they don't need to touch. It's just a bunch of plastic slots in all the various blank-shapes to let them slip keys in until they find the one it fits in and bottoms out on, grab that blank printed on the panel, done.

I thought if you bought the power package you got the keyless entry?
Did the 08 change, my 07 has keyless entry. IllusionX is correct on TR-47 for the blank. I had one made for 2.50 at the local hardware store for a spare. I also bought a uncut camry keyless and put the guts of a used Scion key and re-programmed it for my second keyless entry since it only came with one. That cost about 25.00. |

Keyless is not standard with the power package. It's just another option they add on to rip you off.
