How Do I Know Which Key I Have?
Depending on the year of your Toyota, it will utilize one of many iterations of their engine immobilizer system and a transponder key. Probably the most well known are the Toyota D Chip or "Dot" Key. This key can be identified by taking a quick glance at the metal blade of the key. You will notice a small dimple or dot roughly 3 times the size of a ballpoint pen if your key is a Toyota D Transponder key.
My Key Has a D, G, or an H on It... What Does That Mean?
Beginning in the late 90's Toyota began to employ transponder keys as an anti-theft measure. The D Chip, or "Dot Chip" as it's colloquially named was one of the first transponder chips used. Two other variations of their transponder keys exist. The G Chip, & the H Chip. The finer details aren't of much importance to the consumer, but it is important to know that the keys are not cross compatible or backward compatible. In other words, if your key says G, you cannot use a remote that has H stamped on it. Often times customers find that a remote style of a newer vehicle is more aesthetically pleasing and they want to "upgrade" to mimic the look of the newer vehicle, however, this is not possible due to changes in encoding and radio frequency that vary by design year. When searching for new car keys and remotes for your vehicle it is critical to pay attention and select the right model.
The Dealer Said You Have to Replace My Car or Trucks Computer (ECU)
Early Toyota and Lexus vehicles are quite different from the later models. The reason for this is simple. On the earlier models access to the ECU (the part of the car that holds the car key info) is prohibited through the OBD-II diagnostic port. That means no locksmith (even the dealer) can simply plug in a diagnostic machine and add in keys like we can on the later models. This is unfortunate, but please don't be mad at us! We offer competitive pricing on Toyota ECU flashing and key replacement for earlier models. The dealership often charges over $1000 for this service whereas a locksmith can typically get the job completed for as little as a third of the dealership cost.

Locksmiths use modern technology to your advantage
Automotive keys and remotes are seemingly simple devices. Manufacturers have gone to great lengths to limit who can duplicate their keys and remotes. Of course, the dealership wants to get your car back in as many times for additional revenue after the sale, or aftermarket. Many aftermarket key options exist, yet the dealer touts they are "the only ones" who can replace the keys correctly and with genuine products.
This is simply not the case in today's world. Many businesses exist solely to refurbish and repair keys and remotes. Additionally, others produce and supply, genuine OEM car keys, fobs, and remotes. We work with trusted suppliers with a history of producing and supplying excellent quality car keys, remotes, and key fobs. Then, we make them available to you with excellent service and support.
