    Anyone bought one of the replica keys from Aliexpress and successfully got it programmed to their car? My wifes Auris only came with one key, I got a plain key cut and coded for her car but always intended to get one with remote locking buttons however theyre ridiculously exspensive from Toyota and not much cheaper from an indy lock smith. I seen these on Aliexpress and wondered what the chances of getting it coded (at a key/lock smith)

    I bought a similar one for an old Corolla a year or two again. A lot of locksmiths wouldn't cut the blade, they said the poor quality metals damage their tools. When I did get it cut it was very rough.

    And the plastic fob was terrible quality.

    X2 on the above regarding locksmiths, they dont like cutting the keys whatever they are made from. Looking at the price of the one you linked after getting it cut and coded would it be far off a locksmiths price for the whole thing?
