you can always go to the dealership[ and they can get the key code from the vin # for you. that's what I did. then take it to a lock smith, have them cut a PLAIN Toyota key FIRST before cutting the FOB. that way you don't accidentally ruin it. then if the plain key works have them cut the FOB..

Wait, what? Shot, like YOU already shot one of this key? Or are you asking me to shoot one?

I bought this one from ebay - it doesnt fit the guts from our keys into it even though it says it does. talked the guys about it and they had no idea or information really.

That guy selling them here was saying you have to remove the guts from the guts and put THAT in that type of key. Seems like a lot of work.

well yeah i guess I lied, that IS what you have to do, but I defy anyone to try and open their black 'chip holder' piece successfully, Its seriously superglued all the way around and impossible to take apart.

oh and the unit itself is incredibly cheap, Chinese knock off style plastic and rubber parts. Unless what I ordered was a knock off somehow but I doubt it. I wouldn't expect it to last more than a few weeks if it did indeed work in the end.

Someone was saying something like that in one of the other key threads - that some other forum users (mustangs or something?) were saying they don't last long at all.

Have to say mine is still hanging in there quite well. Still quite sturdy and no problems.

That's the thing that's holding me back from doing it.

^ Well I meant those weird "sliding" ones weren't lasting long. I don't think I've heard any actual feedback on the one I got yet.

Either way...I just don't want to dish out the cash and ruin one of my keys, just to have this thing break in a month or two. That's why I wanted to wait to see how long yours lasted lol.

Ha... well it's easier if one of the keys is already f'd up.

Just found out CStC had copied my ENTIRE post here and made a DIY on their site of it (using my name at least). That's not cool.

I posted there and asked them to remove it... if anything because no one f-ing asked me if they could use it.

its gone

That's a hell of a way to get DIYs on a site.

Could have at least linked to it here. Even if people don't like this site and prefer that one, they can still read the posts here.

I had to register for an account there just to post and ask them to remove it.
