Daihatsu Sirion replacement keys
Discussion
I picked up a Daihatsu Sirion (2008, 1.3L Auto) at the weekend. A tidy little motor apart from 2 little issues. The first is being a chipped windscreen which I plan to have repaired soon.
The other is that the car was only supplied to me with 1 key! I'd rather have a second key with the car so wanted to source another.
Daihatsu's are no longer sold in the UK but there are a few garages which still service them as approved. So I enquired at one of these garages for a key and was quoted £175 for a new key and transponder coding!!
It seems that blank keys can be found for £20-£30 so I wondered if anyone knows about coding a new key in on these cars (which are basically Toyota's I believe)?? Can I do it myself??
Do I need a ECU management computer?
Or do I have to fork out the extortionate cost for one?
Thanks

It can be done we used to use an auto electrician round the corner from work that would scan and copy an original transponder and put the code onto a new chip saved us a fortune in getting them done on the work trucks with the drivers always losing/breaking keys used to cost us about £40 iirc
Doesn't help you at the moment as it was done in Essex but you should be able to find someone closer to you that can do it
