    We heard you should never post a picture of your car key. Can someone actually duplicate your key from a photo? We tried to find out, and see what other dangers you should be careful of when you post car stuff on social media.
    PSA: we made this video to raise awareness about vulnerabilities with key technologies and left out a few important steps on purpose. Don't steal cars. Don't post a picture of your key.

      I've been a locksmith for 18 years now and I'll just say; this stuff honestly isn't that hard to pick up, especially for commonly used keys. And most automotive locksmiths cannot only sight read the key but impression the key as well. In that case, you don't need a picture at all; just knowing what key fits the car. Basically doing what Jerry was doing in the beginning with his 3D printed model but without 3D printer or original key. I generally can impression a key in less then 10 minutes. Get an immobilizer!

A good chunk of the bikes we fix don't have keys with them, and searching the ignition serial number can normally yied a picture of they key with matching code. Sight-cut a replacement key using picture as reference and voila! No need to wait a week for a replacement, and no need to waste time and effort replacing the ignition system.

      One simple trick that dealerships don't want you to know: you can reprogram your car to match a new chipped key. The process is usually long to discourage thieves, but it's not difficult. Typically something like "leave the key in the ignition for an hour". Each brand is different though.

      Odds are if this is going on with your vehicle IRL, they probably show up with a tow truck and some dollies. Print some good-enough repo papers, preferably from a different jurisdiction, so local cops aren't going to be familiar with the exact details, and just tow the thing away. Anyone asking questions is probably turned away easily enough when the fake repo-men state that it's a repo.

Ironically, this literally wouldn’t be a problem if they just used keys, but even the base spec 4Runner uses keyless.

    Passive keys and active keys.
    The example you gave was a passive key, All modern cars with a "key fob" have a passive key in the key fob that has to be mated to the car. BUT they also have an active chip that used the "remote" battery until it dies. When it does, you have to touch the push button with the key to make the passive key work.
    These can be safe, but RFID scanning is a big deal in my location and that's how they are stealing those cars.

    I was never a locksmith per se, but back in the '70s and '80s, I worked in dealership parts departments - and I cut an amazing number of keys from code. Sometimes, when a customer would hand me a worn-out fifth-gen copy to duplicate, I'd sight-read the key and use the code puncher to make them a new key instead of chucking up that worn-ass POS in the old manual duplicating cutter. It usually worked. To be fair, I was the only one in the department who could do it at all.

    I just got a 2023 Telluride X-Pro, and they never even gave me a key. Just this ridiculously good feeling fob about the size of my first flip phone. And then I used the settings in the car to turn my phone into a key which I can then text to friends or family. I’ve driven used beaters my whole life until now. The future is real weird!

    If you can look up the specs for the lock being used (the starting width of an uncut blank, and the depth of each possible wafer cut, and horizontal spacing between them) you can take more accurate direct measurements and not have to do any guesswork like scaling the 3D model in the slicer by hand. You can also compensate for a worn key by "rounding up" each cut to what it should be (if you directly duplicate a worn key you can an identically-worn key that won't work any better)

    to be honest, you don't need to enhance it
    you can just measure pixels between points, and find the cut length to scale from the rest
    ie, top cut is 14 pixels wide, next is 10 pixels wide,
    so it's a 7 cut and then a 5 cut for example
    edit: I watched past the first part and you've said exactly what i meant. Nice one
