A7PRO Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hi There, I have just bought an Alphard model ANH20 keyless entry which was supplied with only one key. Can anyone recommend where to obtain a spare and get it programmed to my car. i have made enquiries with several auto locksmiths without success the problem seems to be they don't have access to the Japanese frequency. I am based near Preston but willing to travel to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a spare unprogrammed key with a blank metal key part on ebay, you could also buy techstream and the cable (connects via USB to a laptop running software) Techstream allows you to program keys, access the diagnostics and configure things like auto lights, windows via remote, the volume of buzzers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.ac Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 All in, £100, for official Diagnostic tool software, and spare key. A specialist may be able to get you a spare key and program it, but you will be hard pressed to find for under £150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Had a spare key cut from a mobile locksmith based in Bedford. The key was cut and programmed. Not full functionality but opens the doors and starts the engine without any alarms going off! Cost £85. Would recommend. http://www.autokeysbedford.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7PRO Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 I got a spare key from Ebay using the link that Chris posted and Ben from North West Japanese Imports programmed it for me. Fully functioning and only 15 minutes from home. Would highly recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 A good result! Did NWJI cut the key as well? How much did it cost overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7PRO Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 No they weren't asked to cut the key. To the best of my knowledge they can supply keys. Ben programmed the key that I provided and the cost was £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Btw Autokeys Bedford would have fully programmed the key if I had provided a four button key with chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellofriend Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Just to add to this forum a success; Bought a 2008 Vellfire a few weeks back - only one key (4 button with lock/unlock, open side doors, also smart key in that doors unlock when you have it on you and touch the handle). Followed Chris above in forums, bought a spare (checked code on chip to ensure the same as one I had), bought the cable which comes with software and installed on my very old Windows 10 laptop (person I bought off sent a disc for 64 bit installation). All reasonably straight forward, new key programmed first time so now have 2 identical keys that work (just need to get blade cut now). All for £75, including software to hopefully alter some settings too. Thanks to these forums. Anyone want advice just let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellofriend Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I got it off eBay Cable https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124808047632?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=e2zvldr0qu6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CLs1bZe0Qqa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY And key https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185430331382?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Z-VLY7pmSYm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CLs1bZe0Qqa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Originally didn't using the complicated set up of running on 64 bit windows, which did my key fine but did not allow any customisation of beeps etc. later did it the virtual machine way (so runs off old Windows) using Japan as region and all options available. Well worth the small investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
