New Key For Toyota Aygo

Hi everyone,

I'm new to these forums, driving, cars and Toyota! Only been driving 4 months and bought my first car yesterday - a Toyota Aygo.

Sadly for inexperienced me I didn't check before I handed over the wonga whether my first used car had two sets of keys or one... fool is me!

Fortuantely though it looks like I MIGHT not be as out of pocket for such a noobish error but I want to make sure.

They key that I have got looks like a regular transponder key (though I have no real experience). Searching the internet it looks as though to get a replacement isn't too difficult... I just get a blank transponder key cut, put my existing one in the ignition - follow a rather simple procedure of pedal pumping and bob's-your-uncle; spare key made for £20 or so.

On the other hand there is mention of a red master key which i definately do not have.

My Toyota Aygo is a 3 door VVI basic no frills version - 2006 (no AC, electric windows, or central locking).

Have I go my facts straight above or am I going to have to fork out a ton to get another key made?

I'd appreciate your comments and I thank you in advance for your time.

As far as I'm aware Toyota has never used the red master key system - manufacturers like Fiat used to. From memory the three Corollas we've had from new (a 1996, a 1998 and a 2006) had two black keys, which are the main keys, and a grey valet key. The system is different now - my two Auris came with just two black keys and no valet key.

My Aygo came with 2 keys, one with remote and the other non-remote which I've never used (my spare). I've opened up the remote one to see the remote circuit board, Battery and transponder chip. I've looked at the non-remote key and doesn't looks to my a sealed unit so guess it also have a transponder chip in it
