Hi,
I own a Toyota Rav4 and have managed to lose the master keys. I have the valet key and would like to get another one cut. However, the dealership in Panama city wants $4000 to do this work!! This is way over the top. Does anyone know where I could take a key (I can source a kep with a chip on the internet) and have it coded to the car's computer?
Cheers,
j

you may wish to contact Don Ray on Chiriqui Chatter. He seems to have various connections.

Problem solved. Have found a great shop in El Dorado (Panama city) called Centro de Llaves - they clone keys, perfect. Mine works like a dream and only cost $55. If anyone wants the location just ask.
