“Lost the only key to my Hilux on a Friday afternoon. New key cut and programmed in my driveway by Saturday morning — and it cost half what the dealer quoted. Will absolutely call again.”

Toyota 86 / GR86 Key Systems

Both the 86 and GR86 use a proximity smart key with push-button start as standard. Programming a new key alongside a working original is carried out through the OBD port.

All-keys-lost 86 / GR86: We read the immobiliser or ECU directly to generate the data for a new key when both originals are lost, program and test it at the vehicle, and delete the old key's code from the system.

Common Toyota 86 / GR86 Key Problems

Smart key fob battery: The most common call for this model — intermittent detection as the battery weakens, particularly noticeable on a car that is sometimes driven less frequently than a daily. We carry the correct battery and re-pair on site.

All keys lost: A frustrating problem on a car many owners are particular about. We attend across Hamilton and the Waikato and generate a new key at the vehicle without towing.

Only one key, car bought second-hand: A common situation on these — we cut and program a spare while the original is working.
