20 Trailblazers Setting The Standard In Toyota Replacement Key How to Get a Toyota Replacement Key    If your Toyota key fob isn't functioning correctly, you may need to replace the battery. It's simple to open the case and insert a flat tool, such as a screwdriver. Remove the battery carefully and replace it with a new one.    This is not a complete solution but it can help get you back on the road. If you have any concerns regarding our Key Replacement Protection that is included in our Tire and Wheel Protection plan, please contact us.    How do I obtain a new key    We all lose our keys at one point. It's not as difficult as retracing steps and looking for the areas where you typically leave them. Other times, you may have a more serious problem, such as the key fob isn't functioning or, even more important even lost completely. If your key fob won't function, it might require new batteries or reprogramming. Fortunately, there are some options to obtain a Toyota replacement key fob for your car truck or SUV.    The first step is to determine whether the key fob actually been lost. If it has been lost, bring a blank key to your local Toyota dealership and cut it. You'll also need to provide some proof of ownership, like your registration or insurance card. If you don't have these dealers will need to determine your key code using the VIN number of the vehicle. This will help keep thieves from hot-wiring your vehicle and then stealing it.    If you can't find your key, try using an app to locate it. The Toyota Key Finder App is available for many of the latest models from the Toyota brand. It uses Bluetooth(r) which allows your key to emit a signal that can be detected by your smartphone or tablet. The signal is strong enough to reach your phone, but it's not so powerful that it interferes with other devices at your home or office.    Alternately, you can take your key fob to an electronics store or automotive parts retailer to have it replaced. These places will often be able to program an entirely new key for your Toyota and will likely have the part you require in stock. You may also be required to show proof of identification, based on the location you're in and the policies of the store.    If you're replacing the Toyota key fob, you'll need to make use of OEM parts to ensure proper fit and performance. It is recommended to purchase the component directly from the manufacturer since it is made to fit your vehicle model and year and meets strict safety standards.    Replacing the battery    If your car's battery has gone out of service or you notice a delay in your key fob responding to button presses, it may be time to replace one. A new battery should eliminate the sluggishness, and give your vehicle a better chances of starting in the cold or after an overnight stay at a parking lot. Follow these steps to replace your battery.    Turn off the engine, then set the parking brake, and then open the hood. Find the battery, which is typically mounted on a tray in the front of the engine bay. There will be two terminals one black (negative) and one red (positive), which is where the cables are.    Use a wrench to loosen the bolt that holds the negative cable connector on the battery terminal. Take the terminal and cable off. Be careful not to drop the battery which could cause it to leak or explode. Place the battery in a secure place, taking care not to harm any electrical wiring or components in the engine bay.    Before putting in your new battery, you must also apply anti-corrosion spray on the terminals of the battery and the battery tray. This will help prevent corrosion and make your new battery last longer.    Locate the clamp or mounting plate that secures the battery when you are ready to mount it. Make sure that the positive terminal of the battery is in line with the positive terminal of the mount or clamp. Then, lower the battery into the tray, and then reconnect the clamp or mount.    Repeat the process for the negative battery terminal. Then, use a wire brush to clean the terminals and connectors on the tray for the battery and clamps. Spray the terminals of the negative and positive battery terminals with a solution to prevent corrosion to extend the life of your brand new battery.    Replace the key fob    The key fob is a useful device that allows you to unlock and lock your vehicle by pressing one button. However, if the battery dies or the fob is damaged in a way, it may be difficult to get it working properly. The good news is that replacing the fob is simple and can be done at home. Here's how:    The first step is to unplug your key from the fob. There should be a small slot or notch that the key's metal part fits into, and it's a good idea to carry a small, flat tool with you like a screwdriver coin to help pry open the case. Older Toyota fobs could have a key that detaches that you can use to accomplish this, while newer models are designed to be opened by inserting the metal key into a notch in the case.    Once the case is open take a look around and note how the battery is positioned (it's ideal to take a picture with your phone to use as a reference). Next, remove the old battery and replace it with a brand new one. Consult your owner's guide or our service center when you're not sure of the type of battery your Toyota fob needs.    After you have put in the battery, take care to close the case and then test your Toyota fob to make sure it works. If it's still not working then open the case and confirm that the battery's installation and that all connections are clean.    If everything checks out, you're ready to drive your Toyota with confidence!

We are looking forward to serving you.      Replacing the Transponder Chip    A lot of modern vehicles have transponder chips inside which communicate with the vehicle's immobilizer system. This can prevent unauthorized access and starting of the vehicle's engine. If you lose your key fob, or it stops working, you'll have to get the transponder chip replaced. This can be done at the dealership or by an experienced locksmith. A professional locksmith will have the appropriate tools to complete the task.    First, find first, locate a blank Toyota key and get it duplicated by a local locksmith. They'll have the proper equipment to duplicate it at a lower cost than the dealership. You'll require a master-key in order to program the new one. These keys can be purchased from the dealer, locksmiths or on the internet.    The chip in the Toyota is held in place by a split pin that can only be accessed when the key is extended half-way. Using toyota keys and any other tools you can find you have, slowly remove the plastic around the inner key until you are able to access the transponder. YouTube has a variety of videos that will help you. After the transponder has been removed, tape it temporary. Then, put the chip-free inner key back inside the plastic housing and clamp it down real tight. Then seal the cuts using super glue if needed.    Insert the master key into the ignition cylinder but don't turn it. Press and release the gas pedal six times within 20 minutes of doing this. The security light will flash to indicate that the key has been registered.    Then, put the battery in your replacement key fob and check that it functions correctly. If it doesn't, open the case and double check that the battery is set correctly and that the connections are clean. If you still have trouble contact a locksmith that is specialized in replacing keys for cars to get a better solution. USA Lock & Key can provide you with fast and efficient Toyota key services.
