    Or you can simply roll down your driver's side window, step out and close door, reach in from window to lock all doors and "auto roll" driver window up. Everything locked, no keys. Just make sure you have a mechanical key with you when you try this.....

    Can I have a locksmith make a mechanical key? Toyota dealer told me that since mine is a laser key (smart key) it will cost $110 to get the little mechanical key made! That is outrageous! I would like to have the key but don't want to pay that price for it.

    I'm betting the answer is yes......but call or visit a few and ask.

    The little key is no different than any other similar Toyota key. Just buy a regular key and have it cut, shouldn't be more than $3 at your local walmart or home depot.

    Thank you. I will try that. Toyota says it as to be purchased from them but maybe not.
