These keys allow for hands-free locking/unlocking and engine start when the key is in close proximity.
The Evolution of Toyota Car Keys
Toyota introduced transponder immobilizer chips in the late 1990s, although not in all Toyota models.
Some Toyota models implemented this technology as early as 1996, primarily in higher-end models.
In the case of lost keys for early Toyota models, the car’s computer or immobilizer had to be removed and reprogrammed at the workshop.
Around 2006, it became possible to program new transponder chips through the OBD port, streamlining the process and reducing the cost for newer
Toyota models
From approximately 2011, specific Toyota models transitioned to high-security transponders, and in 2019, Toyota introduced even more advanced security software.
