2004 Toyota Celica Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
She was at the sushi restaurant in Lakeside when her bag was stolen off the chair next to her. Car keys, wallet, phone. She borrowed the server's phone and called the police, then her husband, then me.
Her 2004 Toyota Celica was in the lot with zero keys. The dealer told her husband it would be 3 to 5 business days, the car needed to be towed in, and they recommended rekeying. Combined estimate over $700.
I got there that evening. AKL is a different process than adding a spare. Adding a key means the car already trusts one key and just registers another. All-keys-lost means I wipe the key memory and start fresh so the stolen key no longer works. I used my IM608 to access the immobilizer, clear the old key data, and register two new fobs from scratch. Her smart key, FCC ID BAB237131-056, was a 3-button proximity fob. I decoded the lock, cut the emergency blade, and had both fobs working before the police report was filed.
She drove home that night with two working keys. Total was $84. The dealer estimated $187 plus a tow and a week-long wait. The stolen key can still physically fit the door but the immobilizer will not let the engine fire. That is the first thing I tell people in her situation. The old key is dead to the car the moment I wipe the key memory.
