With prior Camrys I've always been able to find a crevice under the car in an accessible spot where a 'hard' key would fit/wedge tightly - yet not be noticeable. (Never lost any of them - and did have to use them more than once)
Haven't tried to find a similar place yet with TCH.
No need to wrap smart fob in aluminum foil - just remove battery. Can use to start car w/o battery in fob - but won't trigger door or trunk locks w/o battery.
So - hidden 'hard' key opens driver door and trunk; hidden batteryless fob starts car ... and On Your Way!
Should be able to get a separate 'hard' key cut for your TCH from dealer - so you don't have to use the one from 2nd fob. And could keep batteries in glove compartment to juice up fob after recovery and be in full operation.
