No thanks. I would rather not participate in rating.
The plastic holding my key blade in the key fob was disintegrating, and the decorative key fob case that I had at the time was the only thing holding my key together. When I went to change my key fob case to another one that was not as protective as the first one, my key became unusable. I could not turn it in the ignition without the key blade falling out. I went to the dealership to ask if they sold the plastic so I could replace the casing, since the key blade was still intact, and since all of the innards were still functional. The dealership told me they did not do that and it would be $400 to replace the entire key. I couldnt afford that so I went online. I found this website on an online car forum, and ordered the plastic case replacement kit. My whole total was about $25 with the taxes and express shipping and it arrived in about three days. I found a really neat YouTube video that taught me you can melt the glue inside the key with a heat gun or a very careful lighter, and I was able to transfer over the transponder box for my original key as well as all of the battery pieces and the blade. I saved myself another $200 by not having to purchase a new transponder and get it programmed by the dealership. The one issue I had: the blade for my 2011 Toyota was not fitting with the plastic part the company sent out. There was no way to check the FCC ID on my key because even though my key was a standard one with the Toyota logo, there was no FCC ID anywhere outside or inside of the key. And that ID was nowhere attached to my Vin number and there was no way to search it up. There was no way for me to confirm that this kit would even fit the type of key blade I had, so I just had to hope and pray that my blade would fit enough since they said this case would fit 2011 4Runner models. I still found a random OEM Key for another 2011 4Runner and prayed that the FCC ID on that one would be the same for my car. The head of the key was oblong, and because of the odd shape, it would not fit snuggly inside the plastic piece. The key was at an angle/askew due to its shape. I couldnt put the screw inside the plastic piece to secure the key either since the metal was in the way. However, my boyfriend told me that I could Dremel the side a little bit to get it to fit snug inside of the plastic part. After a couple of minutes of shaving down the 2 mm of extra metal on the side, and deepening the curve in the head so the screw could be placed, the key finally fit! I snapped everything together and tried out my new key today, and it’s brand new. I’m so grateful that I found this company and even more grateful that they were willing to make parts like this, when the dealership was not even willing to do so.
