 Hello again Karen,

 

You can buy the 4D67 chip blank keys from ebay.

Getting them programmed is less easy.

 

If you are local to me I can suggest an auto locksmith, about 100 pounds to program the new key.

Anyone can cut the key, but it needs programming otherwise it won't work with the immobiliser.

Not sure where you live but I have just travelled 200 miles to Devon on the off chance and have been rewarded with 2 x 4 button remotes and ignition keys.   All I had were 2 keys one remote to unlock front doors and a second remote for sliding doors  now I have it all in one with a spare!

You could try Simon Pilling, Auto keys Ltd, www.autokeysltd.com. Operates in the South West. Not cheap, ours cost £200, but in my view he really knows his stuff.

Buy a Mini-VCI from aliexpress/ebay, install techstream on a VM, then connect yourself to your car, program the new key, job done.

 Hi , I,m in the same situation with only one master key- I  bought on Ebay a duplicate key and then had it cut. ( key an cutting £20).  From discussions on here  lies the problem you then have to pay a locksmith to program it at cost I have been searching  ebay  and came across the smart keymaster ( for Toyota vehicle's only  ( cost circa £12 ) and also looked at various videos on you tube  how to use and programme, all of which were very simple- What must be stressed its only for Keys that have a dot the key blade ( found on the base ) . its only designed to start your ignition and wont program the other function buttons on the key ( e. lock and open doors etc)  However, if you only need the security of having a second key, this sounds ideal, as you can lock and open your vehicle using the separate fob . IT  does come with warnings that you must have right key or it can mess up the security system on your vehicle.     For members who are more technically savvy than me your thoughts and opinions would be gratefully appreciated before I venture forward.

If you only want a key that works the ignition/locks ie nothing remotely, then Timpsons can provide you with a chipped key from their own range - cost about £70.

That's good to know,  would they need access to you vehicle to obtain  the code to program the  key?

[Arthur]

The key already has the chip so it will work the ignition. As it doesn’t have any buttons it doesn’t operate the locks remotely and so there’s no programming involved.

Karen if you still need this service, the guy I can recommend will come to your house and program the keys and demo them.

Hi just for information for anyone in the north west. I contacted Gastech in Warrington who sell Alphard's as well as doing LPG conversions and servicing/repairs  ( Its where I got mine conversion done)  They can program the the key (I obtained off Ebay) for £40  -

HI all, I posted earlier and also put  up a photo of the  OB2D Toyota Smart Key Maker  ( cost £13 on Ebay) which is used to program the transponder in a chipped key. Well  mine arrived today and I took the plunge.  I inserted the device into my OB2D heard a short bleep  then inserted my new transponder key and turned it to second position ( do not turn again as if to start the engine)  you will hear a short beep again and then it goes silent, after about a minute or so  then you will hear a long beep  - remove the device from the OB2D port  (  do not on any account leave it in) then turn  the key off and back to the  second position 4-5 times. remove the key and reinsert and start your engine - that's  all it takes  and your key is programmed all under two minutes.   I had my transponder key cut and chipped   by Keymoon  cost of £20  - you send them a  clear photo of your original key and they will cut  it.   PLEASE NOTE  these smart key makers only work on Toyota's who's  original key have a small dot on the base of the key  , otherwise you will mess up your system.  The new transponder key you order wont have a dot on it but the transponder they have in it, is the right one for your vehicle .  So I now have two sets on keys  my 4way and the spare  transponder key ( for ignition only)which i use with the little fob i to open and shut the vehicle -   Hope this is of help to anyone who  has only one master keyi
