YotaMD Titanium Integrated Remote Key Fob Shell (2 Viewers)

[Bear Lake Cruiser]

Do not hesitate to buy this product. Top quality product and top quality seller. I had broken a piece due to my own stupidity and it was replaced free of charge even though I offered to buy a new one, a replacement was issued no charge. YotaMD knows how to run a quality customer oriented business with a great product.

Yep, love mine. Do consider buying an extra hardware kit (screws and nuts). My Wife's and a friend of ours key shells both had screws become loose and lost. I ended up putting a small dab of blue loctite on the screws and haven't lost any since then. But by necessity...the screws only engage a few threads of the small nuts, so IF they get loose they can back out and drop away without being noticed. But no doubt this is a quality product and your will NOT break one.

Hello, new LX470 owner here and looking to buy one of these cases. Do you need a pic of my original key? Also, do you have a promotional code?
Much appreciated!

The kits are universal for any of the 3 button remote keys for the 100 series. The only thing you might want to check is if your existing key blade has metal threads. If so, I recommend ordering up a fresh key blade in addition to the YMD1 kit. That will ensure you're YotaMD kit has a sturdy key.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Metal threads? Don't understand. Thanks for any clarification.

Sure, these pictures will help. THe below pictures show a typical "threaded blade". This means it's either an I or T style blade.

You have to remove the screw from your existing remote. Sometimes that screw has metal threads (very fine) and screws directly into the blade. You can see the brass threads once you remove the screw (as seen in the pics below). If you have one of the rare U style key blades, the screw will have wider threads and you will not see any brass in the screw hole. You will just see black plastic.

If you have metal threads, you're all good. If you have plastic threads, I'd buy a fresh blank.

PM sent, but has anyone used this with a slightly thicker aftermarket remote?

Just replied via PM, but this is good to mention here in case anyone else has the same question.

YES, the YMD1 kit is now completely compatible with all versions of the 100 series remote keys - thick or thin.

So in 2017 I ordered a pair of these, I think maybe in one of the first buys, I remember there was a list or something we all waited anxiously on. Anyways I had some trouble getting it to fit, Andy rushed me out a replacement shell and the week it got there we moved. Since then we moved 3 more times and last week unpacking the box I found the bag I had stuck them in. Was missing one small piece but Andy was so awesome, got it to me and I am sooo happy I don't have to share keys with my wife anymore. Also they look awesome! Thanks @YotaMD (PS. I almost wish they didn't fit so I could order the new colors.....)

Highly recommend. I have had one for a couple months now and it’s great.

NOTICE: Shipments will be delayed July 20-23. If you want one of these shipped before then, order before July 19 please.

Also, Cerakote is now a limited offering on the large titanium band. It looks pretty rad.

That red/white/blue looks sick.

That red/white/blue looks sick.

Yep, it's great to see patriotism for France, Great Britain, Australia, etc.

Oh, and 'Murica!

suprarx7nut,

These look like a great, durable upgrade from the factory fobs. This is the first I've seen of them and want to get in on the Labor Day deal.

Unfortunately, I have the Lexus short key blade. It's still encased in the plastic fob and plan on leaving it in there as a backup. Any info on when the Lexus short blade blanks will be back in stock?

Also, for the Lexus style blanks, can that style be cut by any key maker? I've been lucky, so far, and haven't had to source replacements for the originals yet.

Sorry, they're in stock now. That was me just failing to keep the store inventory accurate.

Most key makers can do it, but not all. I always do mine at a Lexus dealer. They charge too much, but it's the only a reliable way to get it cut exactly to the OEM shape unless you have a perfect one a locksmith can copy or find a locksmith that can cut by code.

 

[Chet Manly]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I wondered if that was a dealership job or not. I have the key code from the original card spare. Probably better to get the dealership to cut it with that code than to copy a 20 year old key.

Order incoming. Thanks again.

Any Labor Day sale on the other colors? I love the Hunter Orange color!
