Hey sequoiasoon,
That was me also, who posted to that guys thread. The difference here is... only one set of his keys were stolen out of his vehicle and he still had the other set. Hence, he had the opportunity to take that one
"master" key to the dealer and have them
"erase" the
"codes" in his vehicle's on-board computer and install new codes for another set of
"master" keys. Last I read in that thread, he said they had some idea of who did it. Some young
"crack-heads" according to him. At this point, I don't think anything has been finalized as to what he ended up doing about it. At least he hadn't indicated so in his last up-date to the thread.
Anyway, I went on to tell him that if his Tundra didn't have a
"Transponder Key" in it, then he would only have to replace his ignition, and door locks. If he had keyless entry, then he'd also have to replace that as well. Since I had keyless entry added to my Tundra, I knew the cost was about $300 give or take a few $$$.
Unfortunately, in
"iriepunk's" case (according to what he posted) he's lost ALL of his
"master" keys and from being in the
"biz" (if you will)... there just isn't any other recourse for him to follow at this point...
... unless someone else in his family has at least one of those
"master" keys. If that turns out to be the case... then all will end well.
