Toyota Avensis key is broken - any idea please
Variant: 2.0 gs
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Engine & Drivetrain
I am the proud owner of a 2.0d GS Toyota avensis. Its taken me to hell and back and recently I came back from seeing my inlaws to find that the company looking after my car had to jump start it. resetting everything
The Key I have is the original one but the buttons have fallen out aswell as the microswitches.
Anyway - the result is me opening the car door to a very loud reception....Eventhough it stops when I drive it.
I have been to Toyota who tell me a new key is £200 - which is worth more than the car.
I have been over over the web to see if there is a solution to my door opening fanfare and the few solutions offered don't work.
Can someone please help - I realise this topic is somewhat "sensitive" for this site -but what the heck - it's my last hope.
Ideas or genuine solutions most welcome
Cheers

Not sure if you sorted, bit over the top for a key, i often see keys at £130 supplied and synchronised to the car (toyota techy)
