I wish you documented what the chip actually looks like outside the shell and how to take it out, but thanks for confirming my theory. I figured it had to be this little rectangle thing in the shell, since there's no where else for the transponder to fit. You also kept calling the keyless entry part the transponder, the rectangle is the transponder, and there's a transceiver inside the steering column that reads it. Together the system is called an immobilizer, since it prevents the car from turning over unless the transponder is present.
Thank you for the info on the chip!! Yours is the first video I've seen that explains that oh so important part! I had to have the Ace Hardware store guy pry mine out and luckily it worked but it could have been a disaster! I thought it was easy as replace the plastic case. No one mentions having to pry the chip out with a razor blade. Key fobs are a racket!
I like that you are trying to help others with information, but also explain that you had to pay to get the key cut so people know. The chip is called the transponder and the piece with buttons is called keyless entry remote.
For anyone watching and wondering if you can swap the key over, it IS possible. You need to VERY CAREFULLY use a dremel and cut away a bit of the top of the plastic holding the key in, and eventually you can wiggle it free. If you didnt cut too much off, the new blade should pop in securely. Evem if you happen to cut a little too much off, it should be pretty snug when you pop the other half on. Ive tried and it works well. Just try not to cut all the way to where the transponder chip goes in.
I second this. I just did the same thing. I used a flathead screw driver and hammer. I broke the plastic off to release the metal key blade. FIRST, REMOVE THE MICROCHIP before completing the step above.
Thanks for the video! Would the old key cover with the Toyota logo fit the new key? Also does the new eBay key have the same kind of hard plastic feel as the original, or does it feel like it’s going to crack again? Debating whether to buy the cheap key or a genuine one. I only want to replace it once for the next 10 more years.
Go for a cheap one that has a year warranty, so if you break it you get that replacement! I've learned to be careful when starting the car, to make sure I'm twisting closer to the metal part of the key.
Omg.. mine broke exactly the same. There seems to be a pattern here. Just wondering why can't they make the metal key with a better frame or metal frame for that matters. That way the plastic cover casing won't be under stress over time plus disintegrating plastic over time causing what we all experience.
Hey thanks a bunch for the fix. I noticed that the one you got has the Toyota logo, but I have not been able to find a shell with the logo on it. Could you please send me the ebay link for where you got your fob shell? Thanks a lot.
This one might work for you! www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-4-BUTTON-REMOTE-KEY-SHELL-CASE-FOB-FOR-TOYOTA-COROLLA-CAMRY/322631272364?fits=Year%3A2010%7CModel%3ACorolla&hash=item4b1e5287ac:g:zAoAAOSw-K9ZD8PZ&vxp=mtr
if you bought it from ebay how come the metal came ready for your car? I have the same problem but I don't know how to swap the metal key as well since the in the new one seems to be glued but not sure
sebastinoful You take the blank key to a locksmith and have it cut and matched up to the original. Don't try to swap the metal part, it's held in by cheap plastic and that's what breaks in the first place.
Paul Carlson the cheapest I found was 89.99 in a kiosk, a big rip off just to cut a key (they won't let me provide the one I bought) I was connected to a locksmith in my area that will do it for 10. I'm looking now of you can get them imported from China already cut.
@@sebastinoful They key from China isn't already cut. You buy a blank for your specific car type. Then you get the blank cut by the locksmith. You then move over the chip and transponder to the new key housing that you had cut by the locksmith. I hope you find this helps.
1) Buy a new replacement key on eBay that matches yours. 2) Get the new key cut to match your old key 3) Follow the instructions of this video- cut out and move over the chip, and the buttons.
how did you get the chip out? I'm stuck with a black monolith the exact size of the hole, I cleaned the rubber from the top and there's nowhere to grab the chip from. it looks like a hard black plastic layer on top of it
Exactly the issue I had. The Ace Hardware guy did it for me. Not sure how! When he brought the case back, it was clear he really had to break the plastic a bit to get it out! Insane.
You have to get a new one cut, there's not a way around that. It saves you money on getting the transponder connected to your car. You move the transponder to the new uncut key fob.
@@ShareXP I only need the POS case. It is my dad's Solara. He has the originals which no longer work. I am going to have them programed back to the car.

Man I didn't know about the whereabouts of the chip thank you so much this was 100% helpful

May anyone tell me about how much is it to cut the key? Thanks.
You can get it cut for $5-10 at Walmart or a local hardware store.
Thank you so much!!!! Car has been sitting for a week! Didn't know bout the chip

Thank you for this!! I was missing the lil chip detail! This helped a lot :)
Saved me so much money!! Thank youuuuuu!!

The damn chip. Thank you sir.
You're a god. Ty for this.

Tysm! God bless you!

One of my authentic ones broke like this after only three years, so which one is "the cheap one"? Lol
Thank you!
so my new key has a chip in it already. Where did you get one without?
Do you know one for 2016 model key please? Any link please I have broken key
Omg.. mine broke exactly the same. There seems to be a pattern here. Just wondering why can't they make the metal key with a better frame or metal frame for that matters. That way the plastic cover casing won't be under stress over time plus disintegrating plastic over time causing what we all experience.
They don't care about the quality of their keys like they do their cars unfortunately.. I've learned to be a gentle car starter now.
my batery is being consumed so fast and I only can use it for just one week, can you help me?

expensive part is getting the double sided keycut. Which I assume that the key part cannot be moved over ??
Shannie Crowe Head to your local locksmith.. they cut my double sided key for $5.
You can transfer that part over without getting the new key cut
@@MrTheTonypp how?
Thank you so much❤
The key that comes with this, does it need to be cut like the original one?
Yes, the replacement is a blank and needs to be cut. Then you swap over the transponder.
Where can I cut the new key, and for how much? 🙏🏼
I'd check at your local Ace hardware or a similar hardware store.
if you bought it from ebay how come the metal came ready for your car? I have the same problem but I don't know how to swap the metal key as well since the in the new one seems to be glued but not sure

Thx u sir
What is the name of the chip?
thank you
Where did you get your key cut? I went to home depot, they said we can't cut that key
Generally you need to go to a locksmith, certain hardware places cut automotive keys as well!
Is difficult to get out but I managed to get it out in one pice.
where did you get the key cut?
I just went to a local locksmith.
If you have an Ace Hardware next time they ring it up as .50 cents per side.
How did you chance the key from the old cover to the new cover ?
1) Buy a new replacement key on eBay that matches yours. 2) Get the new key cut to match your old key 3) Follow the instructions of this video- cut out and move over the chip, and the buttons.
@@ShareXP I don’t have $5 to cut key
Thanks for the video. Was there a way to transfer over the keyblade if you didn't want to use a locksmith?
Not that I know of, The keyblade would be unstable.. They designed these to break.
That was the part I came for, cutting the chip out :(
how did you get the chip out? I'm stuck with a black monolith the exact size of the hole, I cleaned the rubber from the top and there's nowhere to grab the chip from. it looks like a hard black plastic layer on top of it
sebastinoful Use a razor blade to score all of the sides and gently pull apart the key to pop it out. Be careful not to break the chip.
Exactly the issue I had. The Ace Hardware guy did it for me. Not sure how! When he brought the case back, it was clear he really had to break the plastic a bit to get it out! Insane.
Can you swap the key as well?
You cannot swap the key over, I suppose you could try some glue or something... I attempted it and it failed the first time I used the key.
What about the actual key its not cut to fit the car ignition???
you get it cut
You didn't show how to transfer the old key, so that you wouldn't have to get the new one cut
You have to get a new one cut, there's not a way around that. It saves you money on getting the transponder connected to your car. You move the transponder to the new uncut key fob.
How did you move the key blade over? Toyota should be ashamed of themselves for such a bad product.
You can't, you have to get a new key cut and replace the transponder inside to your new key.
@@ShareXP I only need the POS case. It is my dad's Solara. He has the originals which no longer work. I am going to have them programed back to the car.
Well that wasn't helpful at all
