Same here. My 2003 LC also has the 12/2022 calendar limit. I wonder how the current date was initially set at the factory...

I got the key from my local Toyota dealership. The part number is 89785-60160. The key was $35 and that included cutting from the VIN, which is much better than copying an existing key that may be very worn down.

Yes..:), as long as the key you have is a master. You cannot add a key using a valet key.

What and how I did it is explained in this post: 2003 Transponder Key Registration

I'm sure it is, but I don't condone or recommend the use of pirated software and hardware. My apologies if you have a Mongoose cable and TIS subscription. Not everyone can afford that.

Take a look at that seller's negative feedback. There's quite a few complaints of transponder keys not working.

That will work, but keep in mind that those are cheap Chinese clones and quality will suffer. You may get very poor range and short life out of the remotes. The keys might be made of pot metal and wear down quickly. It's also possible that they work just as good or better than the originals, but...

Here's one you can probably snag for $7 + $4 shipping, if you're willing to wait a few days... 2004 2005 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER RAV4 REMOTE HYQ12BBX

Definitely! I tested it 3 houses down (approximately 200 feet) and it worked fine. It might have worked further away, but that would have put me in the street... It's a cheap, easy test. Pick up a used one on eBay and give it a try. I got very lucky finding a couple brand new ones for $24 each...

I'm sorry, I don't.

I'm not sure what the limit is, But I know it's at least 4. I have 2 remote keys and 2 remote fobs working now.

OK, The remotes I ordered from eBay arrived today. They are definitely brand new authentic Denso remotes. That's the good news. The bad news is that they are thicker than I'd hoped. Slightly over 1/2". I was hoping to locate some that were 1/4" thick or so. The search for that continues. The...

This is my solution to breaking remote key shells.

I just found out from many sources that HYQ1512Y and HYQ12BBX are interchangeable. I just ordered 2 remotes from here, as the price was too good to pass up. At this price, I have my doubts that they are genuine Toyota remotes. I hope I'm wrong. If they turn out to be fakes, I'll return them. The...

Yes, you will need a separate remote fob if you want remote lock/unlock the doors. Not needed if you are willing to unlock doors with a key. I did that for 13 years with the valet key, as I found the remote key too large for pocket carry. There are many out there. I am still looking for the...
