i found my third key...

on my way to Cali, i stopped by a city called Blythe to fill up gas...as i was taking the gas cap off, i noticed a white tab by it...i pulle the white tab and guess what it was

...it was my third key

...it didn't have the keyless fob though..just the key...funny thing is i've had my xB since June 4...and i've filled up gas a couple times already

...so i guess you guys might wanna check next time you fill up gas

My xB was delivered with three keys and two transmitters on the same ring. Why anyone would tape a key inside the gas door is beyond me!

No doubt.
You need to get in the car to pull the gas cap door.
Inless you didnt lock yourself out,only lost the key for the ign.

Would be a hady place if you could get to it in a pinch.

Some folks keep their transmitter separate from their key for security reasons.

The Scion transmitter has a lot of range, and if a Bad Guy gets one they can tell which car is yours pretty easily! Without a key, he can't drive it away easily, though.

However, I don't think that keeping a key inside the gas door is such a good idea. If a Bad Guy figures it out it is no trick to pry open the gas door to get at it.
