Push bottom key fob

How much to replace a OEM fob.
My wife just flushed hers from her limited 2016 4-runner.

 

Button not bottom. Having a beer at Twin peaks as I post this I guess my mind was not on the fob

 

What did ya do to her.....

Always cheaper to buy one off the internet and have it dealer programmed vs. letting them do the entire deal as they mark up the parts. Locksmiths have all but gotten out of that line of business or don't have the necessary equipment. Most of that type of business is done by high tech locksmiths. If you're going the route of buying one off the internet make sure you get the right one and a new one. I've not ever replaced a Toyota one but my others vehicles have several variations even though they look the same. Used ones are problematic and the dealer programming it has very little patients with it. If they can't get it working they will just point the finger at the fob and still charge you for doing nothing. The path of least resistance is of course to let the dealer handle the entire transaction, that way you don't get any back-lip should something go wrong. Also depending on the type of key that was in the fob. Laser (Expensive as hell) the jury is still out on how this is accomplished. I myself have not had good luck at my selling or servicing dealer with the laser cut key. If it's the traditional key. It's a no brainer and a cake walk. Also most keyless systems have room for 4 keys. A lazy tech will just add it and take space three. Don't let that happen. Replace the key that's missing/lost spot. that way you still have 3 and 4 open down the road of life.

I've always just bought the key off the internet. My wife has a bad habit of losing stuff. Key's are huge culprit! She drives a fleet car and they have very little tolerance for stupidity! More like ZERO!! She has to turn the car back in every year with the two fobs or else they charge her 250 bucks. I've got it down to 150.00 bucks now when it happens. This includes the fob, key and programming. I don't bother with the key cutting as who checks that? She would lose he head if it were not fastened on!! I called the parts got the the VIN and he gave me the right part number. Took the Fob to my local dealer and they programmed it.
