If you bought from a reputable original dealer, the key came with a tag that has a number. The tag should be kept safe and away from keys. In case you misplace or lose original, the maker can replace without or with minimal cost.

@ Thenking! Depends on the vehicle make, for Toyota yes; not sure about Subaru. However, if the key is chipped, chances are you will end up at the dealer. For the remote, you can buy OEM or even second hand and programme it. The manual has the the info on programming the remote. @ Maka! Yes 35k or even more, depends on what you drive.

Thanks Wazuans.MPPS or Josim can sort the issue in 2hrs. They removed key cylinder & made one from it plus did some reprogram to stop old key from opening.Cost about 5k. Changed alarm system too.... Changing houses too today... My advice,always ensure you have a cut out thats well hidden not those under the steering wheel.And pray to God too :)

na saasa... cut out yako umeificha wapi... mine is under the steering wheel

My cut-out esp the proboxes is the relay fuses under the steering wheel/near the bonet lever. Once I pluck out the two main ones, ata ukuje na shetani mwenyewe .....hehehe
