2004 Toyota MR2 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy near the Spring Valley border in Lemon Grove called me about his 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder. He had one key left and the plastic head had cracked badly enough that he was worried the chip inside was going to fail on him mid-week. He was right to worry. Those key heads age out, and once the chip loses its connection to the antenna ring, the car just refuses to start with no real warning.
He had already called the dealer. They quoted him a number he described as "not happening" and told him he would need to bring the car in.
I pulled up to his building and decoded the lock cylinder directly, reading the cut without the original key as a reference. Cut a fresh blade on site, transferred the job to a new key head with a working transponder, and ran the programming sequence through the OBD port. The whole thing took a little under forty minutes.
He kept his cracked original as a backup, which is smart. Two working keys on a mid-engine two-seater that is no longer in production is not a bad place to be. The dealer comparison came up at the end, almost as an aside. He saved a good chunk, and more importantly he did not have to figure out how to get a low two-seater onto a flatbed.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
