Need info regarding keyless entry remote duplication of Toyota Vitz 2012 in Peshawar

[userpakwheels2020]

Aoa. I have a single key and a remote (with just lock/unlock options) and I want to duplicate both in case I lose one. I have a couple of questions about that.

1. If I just duplicate the key, will I be able to start my engine in case I lost my original key and remote? My car doesn't have an immobilizer as far as I know.

2. Will I be able to program another remote if I lost my current one? Or do I need the original remote / a previous duplicate remote present when making another one?

Also,

How much does a duplicate remote cost?
I asked a car locksmith near Al Madina Auto Center, Tehkal University Town, and he said a chinese one would cost around 3,500 and an original remote would be around 6,000 but he said he'll do it in 5.
Are these prices reasonable, because they kinda seem high to me? Should I get the chinese one or the original one? What's the difference between the two? Range / reliability / longer operational lifespan / something else?

Do you guys know any other car locksmith in Peshawar that you'd recommend for this? Do I need to know anything else beforehand if I decide to go ahead with it?

Thank you.

1. You need to replicate the remote and key if a proper duplicate key is desired in case the original is lost.
2. Rates are more or less the same in Peshawar, however charging for an original one and providing a Chinese product is common practice these days. The rates of these remotes and the cost of making differs from car to car also.
3. To avoid the above scenario, its better to opt for a Chinese product and negotiate to get a better deal.
4. I usually get these things done from the auto markets around kabutar chowk on ring road (https://goo.gl/maps/7BhwqsRyVPy6zMz19). There are so many available in that area so competition enhances services and rates as well.

Thank you.

I was quoted like 6 in tehkal and around that much in various places in Saddar, and that's just the remote's price. The place I visited gave me an original remote, set it up and everything, gave me a dogshit cover for it (more on that later) and made a great duplicate physical key for 4,000.

The plastic remote cover itself is a cheap chinese knock off that barely gets the job done. The buttons are really unreliable and could easily be triggered when inside your pocket. It's not that big of a deal since it's just a spare remote and I'll find a good cover if I ever lose my original one.

The place I visited is called "The Car Decor & Accessories". At least that's what it's called on the receipt they gave me. The blue sign on top said "Sony Electronics & Car Decor", so there's that. Maybe it wasn't theirs or an older/newer name. Idk.

Pics of the remote for comparison.

The only difference I could spot was that in pic 4, there's "B 1" on my original remote and "B 3" on this one
