Starting a 3rd gen MT with a regular key?

Can the manual transmission 3rd gen trucks still be opened and started with a regular key?

 

I'd figure opened but I doubt started. My wife's 14 Rav4 works in the manner I described.

 

Bummer. Ive had a hide a key save my ass many times over the years.

Not sure what's happening here, or why it's in the 2nd gen forum

But you'll know the answer

 

Oops i meant for this to be in the 3rd gen, must have had a second gen tab open when i made it. Sorry dudes.

 

Rest easy. Fellas I tagged are 3rd gen manual owners. They'll be along in a bit. It is a holiday after all.

 

My 2016 does ,not sure about anything newer,Canadian version

 

Did it come with a FOB key?

 

Yes

 

I have 2 "Dummy" keys for when I am hunting or fishing, neither start it, but they unlock the door, tailgate and glovebox.

 

Sweet than maybe there is hope. I guess ill see if the local hardware shop can cut me a key and see what happens tomrrow. I guess i should've just tried that first anyway, but its easier to drink beer and type questions.

 

Can a phone start it? Surely it can it be bump started? Saved my ass this summer bump starting my moto after a good crash in the middle of nowhere. Luckily there was a hill.

 

You mean a key without a transponder? No.

 

I have a 17, a key with a fob base. The only thing that starts it, is that key in and turned.

 

Same here
2018 TRD OR MT: key has to be in the ignition and turned to start the vehicle... as they say, "old school"

 

Bet they will for $5 or so. I got one done for my wife's Rav and keep it on my keys so if she ever locks the keys in it I can easily go unlock it.

THis is the same type my wife's has.

 

All 3rd Gens use a standard H key for all functions. Just like @fatboyfirebass showed above.

 

I gutted one of these to get an oem transponder for my meso flip-fob.

I'm not sure if they can be programmed to a 2021, but if it could you could hide it somewhere and have a fully functional key minus the fob.

 

This is the 2nd gen forum, we don’t have time for stupid 3rd gen shit ok?

haha, nah. Kidding. Sort of.

I’ve been using just a key, like no keyless entry etc.. on my 2nd gen for years now. Once that first battery died. Oh well. People look at me weird that I use my actual key to unlock my doors.

 

Reminds me of the following thread.
