Steven.. Long time no speak. Some key story all right.. How in the world did you drive away from the place when the key was first lost? I remember last fall when we were literally in the middle of the desert on "Indian Service road 5120" according to the navigator
It occurred to me that we were about 2,500 miles from home.. What if we LOST our FOB?.
The nearest Toyota dealer was at least 75 miles away in Albuquerque. It seemed real scary to me to think of this.. You can't take the other one with you all the time and you can't hide one in the car because anyone could then take off with it. Maybe the answer is to somehow take or conceal the little emergency key with you. Can these little keys be duplicated without purchasing a new FOB?.. Did you inquire as to what a new FOB would cost? according to the forum, the car has to be towed to a dealer where the FOB is custom made for the car. Anyway.. glad you found your original key..
WillyBill BTW, I just passed the one year anniversary 19K miles. 61 tanks. 36 mpg avg.
Happy New Year ! (especially at $3.18 per gallon) (more for you I'm sure)
