Skydancer2992 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 With the VIN number, and proof of ID, a Toyota dealer will be able to make new keys for you. I know because I had a wife once who lost all five keys of our Toyota Camry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdboltdude Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 went to Toyota $8 new keys... the key code was off so parts guy took a shot at the next lowest # worked key back in door took under 5 min & have everything closed up and installed.. I will wait a couple of days to put battery and ignition wire back in just in case I lost keys close to home..... also got a dead bolt lock to replace and will see about the "RV-KEY#" if not camping world it is.....

Bob C Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I am glad that it turned out to be a relatively inexpensive replacement. I sure hope you find the keys and don't have to worry about someone finding the keys and getting lucky at finding the RV. My daughter bought a Chevy with remote entry and a chipped key with only one key. I kept ragging on her to get a spare of each but she procrastinated. My wife and I visited her last week and I took the keys from the counter and stuck them in my pocket. She freaked out and hesitated telling me that she did not get keys made yet. When I handed them to her she was very thankful and stopped at the Chevy dealer to get a $18 key made and programmed, without the existing key, they charge $45. She ordered a remote entry and programmed it herself with the help of youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdboltdude Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 3 easy steps to get your key# 1.take off door panel passenger side only 2.take clip off of key cylinder slide right off 3. un clip metal rod from key cylinder you now can get your key# look for a letter(k) then # "xxxx" put back together re-clip metal rod ...insert bent end of rod in plastic hole on key snap the rest of rod in place. slid key clip and test if works put panel back on..

Skydancer2992 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 A Homer Simpson utterance ensued? At least you have that spare set you always wanted to get. Plus you know developed some points of contact at your Toyota service department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm so glad you found your keys. Losing keys is one thing I am really good at but they always seem to show up somewhere. One time the only reason I found them was because my neighbors dog knocked over my garbage can on pickup day and the garbage truck just left it. When I was cleaning up the street well what do you know, there were my keys. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
