I've had mine stolen twice and replaced twice! So chillex8's golden rule is merely commonsense to me now.

I can park most other cars, like my Peugeot 406 coupe, anywhere outside and nothing gets tampered with. Same applies to cars like Mercedes Benz, BMWs etc. But don't try that with Toyotas and Hondas.

Their parts are market movers, and frustratingly, so easy to yank off.

I don't know why people keep buying this car. The probability of vandalism and theft is just too high to justify whatever other advantages it might have.

Ordinarily to park this Corolla for outside beer parlour come rush two bottles of beer with peppersoup, na wahala. You fit finish come outside you no go see your car again. Complete nonsense.

I tell you, i parked a Toyota one day for broad day light enter one joint come out, i no see my laptop again. They used another key to open the door

GOD bless you. Nigerians leave this ugly boring toyota alone haba I don't like this car for one thing. The steering look is so boring and the inside is so small. Coupled with the fact that imost of it has low security and this makes it more prone to vandals and thieves.
The money you save on fuel economy you will spend on brain box one day.

Now I have fixed other things remaining the brain box. The one I got today did not start the car. And the mechanic and electrician assured me that they will get the one that will fit.

My question is this, when I change the brain box will the car start giving issues or it will still work as it was before?

.
Copy the model of your car or take a picture of it, take it to the nearest auto parts sales market, probably you might buy your own stolen brain box.

Don't be scared oo it's a very simple matter.. The brain box have to be programmed with the sensor in the car key..
It's. The same that happens when you change keys without programming it... The car won't start... Just go to people that cut and program car key they know what to do

You need to take the old brainbox or snap the part number on d old brainbox in order to purchase a match brainbox. After obtaining a match brainbox, the technician needs to match the purchase brainbox with d key using a car diagnostic tool before it will start reason is that d key is coded to enable unlocking of the brainbox. Contact me on 08060788299 for further guide n assistance.

It's far better than news of "Tacha spotted dancing at pool party etc"...... Reading this thread, I have learnt that Toyota Corolla attracts thief like flies, I would now start taking extra precautions to ensure my Corolla's brainbox isn't stolen.

Thank you.
