Saved me from towing my Toyota FCEV. Thanks!

Does anyone know if this works on push-start Toyota FCEVs?

Waiting to see if this will work on my Toyota FCEV as well.

I’m also looking for how to retrieve the key code on a Toyota FCEV.

My Toyota FCEV just blinks. I think this might fix it.

Just tried this on my Toyota FCEV—anyone else have success?

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Key Programming
Professional key programming requires: diagnostic tools to access the immobilizer system, key code software, transponder programmers, and often proprietary manufacturer equipment. Some locksmiths and all dealers have these tools.
Key Tip: Always have at least two working keys to avoid expensive replacements
Key Programming
Programming syncs the key's transponder chip with your car's immobilizer system. The process varies by manufacturer but generally involves: 1) authenticating with the car's computer 2) erasing old keys if needed 3) programming new key codes 4) testing functionality.
Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Key Programming
Some vehicles allow DIY key programming using specific sequences (like turning ignition on/off with original keys). However, most modern cars require specialized equipment only locksmiths or dealers have. Check your owner's manual for your specific model.
Key Tip: Store your key code separately from your keys
Key Programming
Most transponder keys and smart keys can be reprogrammed if they haven't been damaged. Basic mechanical-only keys (no chip) can't be reprogrammed - they must be physically cut to match your locks.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
