When I bought my 97 DC 4x4 Hilux it came with only one remote for the factory fitted alarm/immobiliser. Seller told me that the other one broke, became lost, and that Toyota could not supply a replacement.
A few weeks thereafter I started doing some research of my own. From Toyota the answer was mostly the same "Sorry sir - discontinuid" or in one case "that remote comes from a Cressida :roll: and it is discontinued"
The system used on my vehicle is apparantly a Conlog system comprising of a black oval-shaped remote with the Toyota rings as the soft-press point and a minitiure override jack mounted in the dash just to the right of the steering wheel.
So what is my alternatives? Well, basically I was told that I would have to replace with another system.
I was, however, resistant to this because I liked the fact that I can "override/de-activate" the current system with the jack (in the case of remote failure). Quite a good feature to have when deep in the bush on an overlanding trip.
The good news is that I managed to track down a guy that can supply both remote and jack and can re-programme and align everything in a mater of minutes. Supply is not always guaranteed, so I sommer bought an additional two sets.
Cost of a remote + programming is R300.00. I forget what the small jacks cost, but it was not much.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
