Terry’s Locksmiths and the 1998-2006 Daihatsu Sirion
1. Key and IMMO System Challenges
The Daihatsu Sirion, particularly the models from 1998 to 2006, presents a unique set of challenges for locksmiths due to its key and immobilizer (IMMO) systems. The vehicle typically uses a TOY38R non-transponder key for early models and a TOYO-20D.P transponder key for later ones. The IMMO box is often located behind the glove box, which can complicate access and repair work.
2. Job History Analysis
Job 56643: Locksmith Kent worked on a 2000 Daihatsu Sirion where all keys were lost. The solution involved using an aftermarket turn-key non-transponder key, specifically the TOYO-20D.P, a Toyota Daihatsu N-R Transponder Key. The job required handling the TOY41R and TOY38R keys, highlighting our capability to manage both older non-transponder keys and newer transponder systems.
Job 58312: Another notable job involved a 2005 Daihatsu Sirion with all keys lost. For this job, locksmith Kent utilized an aftermarket turn-key non-remote solution. The tools used included the Orange and MIT-8D.P1 Mitsubishi N-R Transponder Key, showcasing our expertise in working with the 4D67 Daihatsu chip and the specific requirements for key programming and IMMO system synchronization.
Technical Insights:
