Hey guys,

Was wondering if any one of you all know if it's possible to buy a blank key with a chip in it and reprogram it to work with my Rav4..with remote lock and unlock functions.

Several websites claim that the newer model come with the ability to reprogram a key.
So wanted to find out if this method works first...before buying this key from Amazon.
Check it out here..

Other option is to get one from Toyota for well over $1500 I'm sure. A locksmith charged me around $1500 or more.. and that's just to copy the chip to a blank chip. So all i've have is a key that unlocks and start my vehicle. No remote unlock/lock. He said i'd have to go to Toyota and get that done. And I really want to unlock/lock feature back.

Thanks!

Did you get it reprogrammed?

No but ended up transferring the immobilizer chip from the broken housing with the keyless entry electronics. buttons lined up nicely to a new key housing I ordered on amazon and then u just cut the keyblade at a normal locksmith.
The ordered key supposed to be the programmable set but after following the instructions i only got as far as reach my vehicle's programming mode and for some reason it just wasn't programming the new chip.

I eventually will have to pay someone to program a new chip for me as I've lost one.
