Security And Programming Considerations For Toyotas
-
Immobiliser pairing
Toyotas pair each key’s transponder or smart fob to the immobiliser/ECU. Without programming, the engine won’t start even if the blade turns in the barrel. -
Smart key systems
Push-to-start vehicles use proximity keys and antennas. Faults can be caused by low fob batteries, aerial issues, or lost synchronisation. We diagnose and re-synchronise, and supply new smart keys when required. -
Lost-all-keys scenarios
Some models require immobiliser data extraction from the ECU or immobiliser box (EEPROM). We use specialist tools to safely read, write, and program new keys to your unique vehicle profile. -
Key deletion for security
If a key is lost or stolen, we can remove it from the vehicle memory to prevent unauthorised starting, and then add your new keys. -
Battery and RF checks
We test RF output and replace the fob battery where that’s the culprit. If electronics are failing, we can repair or replace the fob.

FAQs: Toyota Keys And Locks
Can you make a Toyota key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Toyota key without the original. Depending on the model/year, we’ll program via OBD2 or use EEPROM techniques to prepare new keys from immobiliser data.
Will you damage my Toyota when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare event that a component is too damaged or a specific design prevents non-destructive access, we’ll explain the situation and agree next steps before proceeding.
How long does Toyota key programming take?
Most replacements or spares are completed during a single mobile visit. Simple add-a-key jobs can be as quick as 30–45 minutes; lost-all-keys or EEPROM cases typically take longer. We’ll advise based on your model.
Can you program Toyota smart keys for push-button start?
Yes. We supply and program Toyota smart/proximity keys, re-synchronise systems, and can delete missing keys for security.
My Toyota says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?
Try the spare key if you have one and replace the fob battery. If the message persists, there may be a fob, antenna or immobiliser sync issue. We can diagnose and repair or supply a programmed replacement.
Is a locksmith faster than a Toyota dealer for new keys?
Often, yes. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you, avoid towing, and can program keys on-site—frequently quicker and more convenient than waiting for a dealership appointment.
