Keys that were stolen or lost are not found If you've lost your car keys you're aware of the trouble it could be. Toyota owners will no longer have to pay for replacement of their key fobs or their cars, if stolen. Toyota has recently announced a new plan of protection that will cover the cost of getting the replacement key and reprogramming it to fit their vehicle. Modern key fobs, unlike traditional car keys, have a transponder chip that communicates with the car's immobilizer to allow remote locking and engine start. These chips are secure and only function with a specific brand of car, model, and year of vehicle. They are also not compatible with other cars since each one comes with an individual code that works only with the immobilizer that is corresponding to it. This is why it's important to have a spare key in case you lose the original. A spare key will not only relieve the burden of losing the primary set but will also ensure that you're always able to get around in the event of a need. You can purchase a spare key made by a professional locksmith or from a Toyota dealership. The Toyota dealership will provide better service since their Toyota-specific experts can complete the task faster and with less effort. You must be aware that the process is a little more complicated with older Toyota models. This is because earlier models of the vehicle do not use the same technology as the current models, meaning that they can't be erased from the engine control computer using conventional diagnostic equipment. Instead, the vehicle must be “reflashed,” which is an operation where the current data on the chip is overwritten with virgin (un-used) information. To make the replacement of the key fob as fast as possible, some dealers and locksmiths provide Toyota-specific services via their own branded kiosks that prioritize speed and accessibility for their customers. In these kiosks, you can get your spare key copied immediately without having to wait for a technician who can help you out. You can even do this at the weekend if you have to. Damaged Keys Immobilizers are an exclusive security feature that is found on a variety of Toyota automobiles today. These devices are integrated into the key and communicate together with the computer modules of the vehicle to ensure that only authorized drivers are able to start it. These chips are usually disguised and look similar to the physical key. The chips may be damaged or broken, which can stop the car from starting. It is crucial to replace the key as soon as this happens to avoid further damage. A professional locksmith or dealership can easily replace a Toyota key when the chip gets damaged. In most instances, a new key will need to be programmed to the computer of the vehicle to allow it to recognize it as an authorized user. The locksmith or dealership could do this by providing them with the VIN number of the vehicle and other pertinent information. It's a good idea also to have a duplicate copy of the original key, in case the new one requires programming while the original one is being used. Key fobs may also have problems due to daily use. The battery might need to be replace or the case might be damaged. These issues can be costly particularly if your key fob's electronic components are also damaged. The key cylinder may also wear out over time because of repeated use. This could cause your key to stop working in the ignition, or the door lock. It is essential to repair this as soon as possible.
