Computer Chip Key For '09 Taco

I didnt notice what model you had my bad man.

 

and there is an indicator light on my dash, I believe I have immobilizer installed but the model is built for Canada eh! Think that makes a differnce or is the light just for show?

 

I was told the little round dot near the plastic was where the chip was - sounds credible - and the pix lack that dot

 

I don't think I mentioned the model until I posted the Toyota link, my bad.

 

Who knows. Could just be a diff between the '09 and '08 models. I have been following a DIY cruise control thread and apparently the '09's don't have some the preinstalled wiring the earlier years had. And some of the trucks made in Mexico were a bit different also. Confusing, eh?

 

My 2009 X-Runner Key (I have immobilizer) has the little dot on the metal part of the key just under where the rubber meets the metal part.

 

Mine has no dot. I does have the letter "L" stamped in. Thanks for the info.

You Are Correct Mingy, if theres a round dot on top of the shaft near the plastic then you have it, if no dot then you dont, i work at Lowe's in the hardware department and i cut alot of keys everyday dont go to the dealer if you want another key with a chip go to your nearest lock shop and there alot cheaper there $40 bucks or so better then paying $115 or $130 at the dealer
