What the record shows
Everything happened where the car was: entry, decoding the lock for the blade and programming the new key, with no recovery.
Background: all keys lost on a Toyota
The points below are general information about this kind of job. They explain the work; they are not additional details about this particular vehicle.
When no key remains, the key is created from the vehicle itself, from the lock for the blade and the immobiliser for the electronics, rather than copied.
Not recorded
To keep this record accurate, the following are not published because neither the original post nor Autobahn’s job notes state them: the model year.
