2004 Land Cruiser key fob

[cruiserguysc]

So the key fob that was with my 2004 hundy has become super brittle and coming apart. Ordered a key fob off Amazon and it will not sync up when dealer tried to program. I see where car keys express has the key fob available, however, I don’t want to spend the cash on another fob that will not sync up. Has anyone used this company for a replacement key? What are my options? Thanks

Take the guts out of the brittle one and put them in a new one. We will all recommend a YotaMd housing. You reuse the key part and the innards of it. You shouldn't have to get a brand new everything. We all have had our plastic cases crumble on us.

x2 for YotaMD housing. Amazing difference in how it feels when turning the ignition.

Assume you just bought a shell and you swapped the guts?

There are two steps to programming a key.
1) immobilizer
2) security key fob (if you don't swap the internals)
