The Toyota transponder key, and how we set one up.
Toyota keys from the 2000s have a habit of splitting along the seam of the black head, usually after years on a heavy keyring. Once that happens the chip can slip out, and the car will crank but not start, or start only when you press the halves together. A shell fixes that without touching the car's computer.
This is a case and blade only, no chip. The job is short: we recover the chip from the damaged key, fit it in the new head, and cut the blade to your ignition on our code machine. Since the chip is the one the car already knows, nothing needs to be programmed.
Check before you buy. If the original chip is lost, or the key never had one, a shell will not start the car. And if your key has lock and unlock buttons on the head, you need a remote head key shell, not this one.
Most people bring the broken key in a zip bag with every loose piece. We can match the blade to your ignition or cut it by code if the old blade is badly worn. We are at 4105 Macdonald St.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 9 model years, 2003 to 2011, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
