No chip key ........will it work?

Gotcha! Just wanted to make it clear to everyone in the thread so there's no potential confusion

 

Ok, I will adjust post 15

 

Anything 4 cylinders would never be stolen anyway, so why would they need a chip? ...And 3rd gen.

 

Different generations, did it have an i4 or v6? US spec 2nd gen 4cyl have no chip regardless of trim. Up to 2012 anyways..

 

Also, all Canadian spec 2nd gens have a chip key, regardless of trim level - including base and 4cyl models.

On an immobilizer equipped truck, a plain key will work fine for the doors, and allow the use of accessory power, turn the ignition power on, and even crank the engine. It won't start though.

 

It had a v6

 

Hater!

 

This is really getting strange because the 2012 I4 base Access Cab SR5 that I had did have a chip key. I did have a problem because I wanted a spare key made just to open the door and Walmart and Home Depot refused to do it because of the chip.

 

So you had the blinking red security light? Mine did not. I had a chip less key made that started it.

 

My key has a blinking red security light.

 

You have a Trd Sport which would have a v6. I'm talking i4. you have a chip.

 

Why did I reply to this thread?

 

They just don't know what they are doing. The chip is used to start the engine and has no effect on unlocking doors.

 

But my key stands straight up stiff when It gets near my truck.

 

See your doctor if that lasts more than four hours.

 

That is your penis not your key. That is caused by the blue pills you take not the chip in your key..

 

He get's confused sometimes because he's old and senile

 

I got it. Maybe they only send trucks with chips to high crime areas.

 

Those little blue pills don't make your key stiff?

 

You tell me. Im a youngster and do not need them yet
