spare key for surfing purposes?

No i had two made, and neither of them worked in the door, and when you stick them in the ignition it would only work about 10% of the time, after you take it in and out and wiggle it a ton.

 

Real estate lock box. Locked to underside of truck.

 

What keys are you talking about? my 2012 came with two black keys and the little alarm dongle that comes with it. Did i get shafted?

 

should have the plastic key that fits in your wallet too.

 

nope jsut two black keys. are u sure for 2012?

 

I didn't get a plastic key.
I did however receive a grey key in addition to the two black ones. I'm not sure if the gray key has a transponder in it. I thought it was a valet key. Either way, I've never used it.
Lots of good ideas in this thread. Way to come through for this guy. A simple solution to a simple problem. NEXT!

 

i didn't know they still had the plastic card key, but I didn't buy mine new, i would have thought you would have had 2 black keys and a gray key, but maybe different in 2012

 

Yup it is for my 2012, I thought oops maybe its for 07 but it's for the 12. That shit didn't open it though!

 

i find post number 8 to be accurate

I got one of those mailed to me (I had to take it to the dealer to get cut, however) but I did not get a 'valet' key. Just two black chipped keys and two remotes. Wonder if they stopped providing the 3rd valet key for model year 2012?

 

12' tundra doesn't have a grey key either. only two black masters and that plastic key on the card.

08' tacoma has 2 masters and the grey key

maybe they did...

 

I don't have keyless entry so the black plastic one is generally roped into the pocket with the leash thing that's comes in most boardshorts nowadays.

 

I need a part number for this. Our old 4runner had one. It was a nice way to carry a spare key in case you locked stuff in your truck. I searched in the past without success. Anyone know how to get one of these?

Thanks

 

I would assume thru a toyota dealer either in-person or online.

 

Actually I looked at that card closely and saw that it is apparently made by AXXESS, the key/lock maker. On the back of the card in molded lettering it says "AXXESS 7, TEMPE, AZ" and lists a number of patents. on the front it says "Use Cassette B" and "35". They key itself says "Door/Ign." and lists a number of 8059. Hope that helps.

 

I'm sure I could google it, but where did you get that?

 

zul, does that key start your ignition?

 

I don't think it is supposed to, Ihaven'te ever tried mine though.

 

If it doesn't, i don't see the point in having one in an emergency, cause they're meant for your wallet and if you lose your keys you still can't go anywhere, unless you hide a car key in the car at all times. I had one of those for my 98 tacoma, and it did start the ignition, but it's cause they weren't chipped. But don't get me wrong, i'm not arguing that they cannot be used for the original OPs point

 

Now that I think about it, it does have some metal revealed, might be a chip.
