Car Locksmith: Toyota Car Key Tips

What Is a Key Fob? 

A key fob is a small handheld device that you can control remotely and which you use to control access to your Toyota vehicle. Essentially, it is an electric lock that controls a remote keyless or smart entry system. Most, if not all, Toyota 2003 models and upwards use such a system. All you need to do to lock or unlock your vehicle is press a button.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Using a Key Fob?

The advantages of using a key fob include: 

• Reliability. A high-quality key fob is reliable and long-lasting, unlike copied keys which are made using less durable materials. 
• Security. While copied keys can be lost or duplicated, key fobs are easy to deactivate to prevent car theft. 
• Convenience. It is very fast and easy to lock a vehicle remotely and unlock it using key fobs that rely on an electronic lock system. 
• Reprogramming. The expenses and hassles of replacing lost keys and locks are eliminated since key fobs can be reprogrammed easily. 

Different Toyota Key Fob Replacement Scenarios 

Depending on your situation, one of the following scenarios could apply when you need a replacement for your key fob: 

• Replacing battery. This is a great option when your Toyota key fob has suddenly stopped working or is working sluggishly. It is pretty simple to replace a battery as all you need to do is to open the key fob case and swap out the old battery for a new one. A locksmith can also help you do this properly. 
• Replacing the whole key fob. When you have broken the entire or part of your Toyota key fob, replacing it is essential. This could also apply when you have lost or misplaced the key fob. Although you can have it replaced at a service center, having a locksmith come to you is more convenient. 
• Calling a locksmith. This is the most comfortable option, regardless of the problem you have with your key fob. Locksmiths are equipped with the knowledge and technology to help you get a properly working key fob and get back on the road as soon as possible.
