Has been around a little while but seemed mostly BMW cars with the problems, just worrying now as they listed Toyota as one of the manufacturers.
Can anyone stop me worrying by confirming you can't just code a new key on our cars with nothing more than some manufacturer diagnosis tool?
Feel so sorry for the chap with the 1M, would be devastated losing the F![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

Yes you can do this with a factory scan tool as we have done it on several customer vehicles. I had to do this to my own vehicle as the dealer only gave me one key for my car and reimbursed me for the second key. If I remember correctly our cars can only have three keys programmed for our vehicle, and the next key in line after that is dropped from the system, though it has been a while since I did it on mine like 3 years! I can look it up in my TIS if you want me too.

Sadly with the way Insurance works over here you get massively penalised after the theft pushing your premiums much higher.

Strangely over here insurance is lower with car on a drive than in garage. Supposedly being in a garage gives thieves a place to work unseen, don't see it myself as they have to get in the garage first and you could even alarm it.
Then again never did understand how they calculate insurance....
