Toyota Key Types and Technology We Handle
-
Standard transponder keys (chip keys)
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. We cut and program these on-site. -
Remote flip keys
Mechanical blade plus remote locking functions. We repair switches, replace cases, and program new remotes. -
Smart/proximity keys (keyless)
For push-to-start Toyotas, we register new smart keys, handle all-keys-lost situations, and resolve “key not detected” errors. -
High-security laser cut keys
Modern Toyota blades are often laser cut for improved security; we cut these precisely for smooth operation. -
Immobiliser and ECU pairing
If your car shows a key symbol on the dash or refuses to start, we diagnose and synchronise immobiliser components, including EEPROM solutions when needed.

FAQs
Can you make a Toyota key without the original?
Yes. With proof of ownership, we can create a new Toyota key from scratch. We cut a new blade to your locks and program the transponder and remote functions to your immobiliser system on-site.
How long does Toyota key programming take?
Most Toyota keys can be programmed within 30–60 minutes once on site. All-keys-lost situations or certain immobiliser procedures may take longer, especially if EEPROM work is required. We’ll advise realistic timings when you call.
My Toyota says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try holding the smart key to the start button (some models have a backup coil) and replace the key battery if you have a spare. If it still won’t start, we can diagnose whether it’s a fob fault, antenna/receiver issue, or immobiliser sync problem and fix it on-site.
Can you program used Toyota key fobs?
In some cases, used fobs can be reprogrammed, but many Toyota smart keys lock to the original vehicle. We’ll advise whether a refurbished or new genuine/aftermarket fob is the best option for your specific model and year.
Will you damage my Toyota when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and protect paintwork and seals during the process. On the rare occasion destructive work is unavoidable, we explain why, agree it with you first, and provide replacement options.
Do you cover Toyota vans like Proace?
Yes. We handle Toyota Proace and Proace City keys, including transponder and remote programming, smart keys on newer models, and commercial fleet support.
