Wireless Car Key Cloning

[trevoromgh]

Have just bought a Toyota Camry 2007 which has a wireless car key system but only one key currently.  When I approached a Toyota dealership for a quote to provide a spare they said it would cost 17,600 THB.   Needless to say I did not take them up on that so I am looking for a local company which offers such a cloning service.  Any ideas please?

Just for clarity it is 100% wireless with only a small skeleton key to open the car in an emergency but no ignition key slot.

Big C Extra 2 on the Superhighway, there's a guy who does keys off the underground carpark. I think I paid about 2-3k for a Nissan key to be done.

Had to have one made for my older Camry as well in Kanchanaburi. It was a while back,  but if memory serves me correctly, it was 1500 baht. They wifey would have blown a gasket if it would have been more.

Tesco, Mee Choek:  Guy in the leftmost entrance lobby looking from the car park (closest one to Amorn if you happen to be reading this already in the store).  Had several different keys cloned there over the past three years.  Somewhere in the region of 1800 baht last time but I believe not all makes of care cost the same.

Was looking for the same thing, found a small place by accident today near Jed Yod Temple. Got a spare key for my Honda CBR that has an electronic security system in the key. Cost me 180 baht and took around 3 minutes. You have to phone the guy and he will come on his moped. Number is on an A4 sheet on the left. Not sure if he speaks English.

Wow! 17,600 Baht for a new key!

Were these vehicles supplied with 2 keys when new? If so, what happened to the 2nd key? I'd be concerned that the car may be "borrowed" in the future. Also, if there were 2 keys, did you negoiate a similar discount for replacement of the key?

Not sure how many keys it originally came with but assume it was two.  Given its age and four previous owners any one of them might have lost it as the size makes it easy to mislay. I chose not to demand further discounts in order to maintain family harmony as my negotiating better half was more than stressed out already. If I was concerned about someone stealing it in that fashion I'd probably fit a GPS tracker as it'd probably be cheaper than a new key.

Dealers are silly crazy prices... just because they think they have you by the chain. We’ve a key guy in town but he can’t do the electric keys..

Lordblackadder is right. That  guy can do it but its not BIG C EXTRA, its Big C Sukhumvit, accessible from

Pattaya Tai also assuming you are on the Eastern Seaboard.

If your in pattaya,there's a guy on soi bongkot alongside the mini big C that does lots of different model cars and bike keys,quoted me 1500 tb for an x-max key remote.
