[[I’m unhappy that you can’t still buy a decent car with roll-up windows and actual keys.]]
You and me both- Cot me $80 dollars to have a spare key made for our toyata corolla, and was told that would be all we could order, because apparently, there is only a certain number of spares that can be made for a single cars electronic contraption for the ‘chipped key’. Evidently, if i want another key, i will have to have the whole chip system replaced, and start all over with the limited number of spare keys again-
I used to walk into any hardware store- have a key made for around $2.00 or so, and it would both open the door AND start the vehicle= I can still get keys made to open the door on our toyata, and it’s abotu $9.00 now- BUT I can not get a key mde to start the vehicle UNLESS i am willing to shell out however much it will cost to replace the chopped key system in the car-
Yep! After a few years you don’t need a key. Any old flat-blade screwdriver works fine!
If you are losing that many keys perhaps you should reprogram the system. You never know who has found them.
