Keys and remote stolen, what to do?
#21
GODDAMNIT!!!
So, I looked on the manual how to disengage the brain unit. Basically erase it of any remotes. I can't do that because one I put the neg terminal on, it just beeps to ลลลล, even if I have the master key (that I found) in the ignition in the ON position.
So then I said, screw this, and unplugged all the connections in the front of the brain. Wont let me start the car!! WTF!?!
This is pissing me off . How do I disengage this thing when its in automatic alarm mode?

I imagine Bob would rather tell him via PM. Alarm disarming techniques aren't something you generally like to publish in the public.

Yeah, I donno if you can change the locks or not. I think Id like to. I am going to Toyota and see what they say, I guess.
So I just pulled the fuse that went to the horn, and went and held the button down. Took a little while, but, finally disengaged.
You can erase the memory of all remotes.
Gay festival, who mentioned any gay festival?

I work at a Lexus dealership, so I am not 100% this will transfer but for what it's worth...
We can replace all the lock cylinders for our cars. They come with new keys and the locks can be coded so you only need the one key for all of them. It's an expensive route. My 4Runner actually has different door lock keys than what fits the ignition. I carry two keys instead of one, not that big a deal.
I would take the truck into Toyota, let them deal with it. It's expensive, but having the piece of mind knowing that your truck is safe should be worth it.

Sounds like someone replaced your ignition switch before. Should have originally come with one key for the doors and ignition.
Anyhow You don't necessarily have to take it to a stealership. If you have a mechanic that does your work they can easily order the new lock cylinders and change all the door locks and ignition or they can just change the ignition. Wouldn't hurt to price it at a stealership though.
