cheers for the advice... but... i was going to the Toyota dealer to get a new key for my car, so that i would have a spare set (which i did not get, when i bought my car) and the guy said i could get one (key with a chip-due to the immobilizer) so all was good, until i turned up to collect it. he needed to 'input the data' or somethin, and to do that, the cars circuits needed to be set up, but apparently mine have purposely been 'ripped out' i think his words were... and he didnt wanna touch it after that... 'because the alarm might just go off- and i wouldnt be able to turn it off'... i was just wondering if any one else has had a problem like this, or is the guy being a dick about it?
