Getting a Replacement Key

Sometimes, you might encounter a more serious issue, such as a key fob that's not functioning or, even more important, lost completely. If your key fob isn't functioning, it will probably need a new battery, or it might require reprogramming. There are a few options you can do to obtain an Toyota key replacement for your car, truck or SUV.

The first step is to determine whether the key fob actually been lost. If it is been lost, you'll need to bring a key blank to your local Toyota dealership and have it cut. You'll need to provide proof of ownership, like your registration or insurance card. If you don't have these dealers will require your key code using the vehicle's VIN number. This will prevent thieves from hot-wiring and stealing your vehicle.

If you're unable to locate your key, you can try using an application to locate it. The Toyota Key Finder App is available for a variety of the latest models of the Toyota brand. It utilizes Bluetooth(r), which allows your key to emit a signal that is detectable by your tablet or smartphone. The signal is strong and will reach your phone but not so strong that it interferes with other devices at home or in the office.

You can also bring your key fob into an electronics store or automotive parts distributor to have it repaired. These places can often program the new Toyota key and will have the item in stock. You may also need to show proof of identification, depending on where you are and the policies of the store.

When replacing a Toyota key fob, it is recommended to use OEM parts to ensure appropriate fit and performance. You should buy the part directly through the manufacturer as it's designed specifically to fit your vehicle model and year and is able to meet the strict safety standards.

Replacing the battery

It could be time to replace your battery if you feel your car's battery is dead or you notice that your key fob isn't responding as fast when you press the buttons. A new battery will stop the sluggishness and your vehicle will start more easily in cold weather or after a long parking lot stay. You can replace the battery yourself by following these simple steps:

Turn off the engine, set the parking brake, and then open the hood. Locate 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 on the bolt that tightens up the negative cable connector at the battery terminal. Then, remove the cable and the terminal. 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 other components inside the engine bay.

Before installing your new battery, you should also apply anti-corrosion spray on the terminals of the battery and the tray for your battery. This will help to prevent corrosion and prolong the life of your battery.

When you're ready to put in the new battery then locate the mounting plate or clamp that holds it. Ensure the positive terminal of the battery is in line with the positive terminal of the mount or clamp. Place the battery in the tray, and then reattach the clamp or mount.

Repeat the process with the negative terminal of the battery and cable connector. Use a wirebrush to clean the terminals, connectors, and clamps on the tray. Spray the terminals of the positive and negative 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 handy device that allows you to unlock and lock your car by pressing a button. It can be difficult to get the fob to work when it has been damaged or the battery has failed. Luckily, replacing the fob is easy and can be done at home. Here's how:

The first step is to take your key from the fob. There should be a small slot or notch that the key is inserted into, and it's a good idea to carry a small, flat tool like a screwdriver coin to help pry open the case. Older Toyota fobs might have a key that detaches that you can use to do this, whereas the latest models are designed to be opened by inserting the key into a notch in the case.

After the case has been opened then locate the board and note how the battery is situated (it's best if you take a picture with your phone to use as for a reference). Then, take out the battery from the case and replace it with a fresh one. Refer to the owner's manual or our service center when you're not sure of the type of battery your Toyota fob needs.
