2006 Scion tC - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Yes, a local Auto Locksmith can reprogram it. He can also make you a new key cut from the old one and programmed together with your existing key. Never ever let yourself get down to having just one key, because when that one is lost or stolen it becomes a VERY expensive fix to buy a new lock cylinder and get keys programmed. We see it here at least 3 times a week. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+locksmith+near+me ..
