I bought one of those "shell" keys from Amazon. Performed (or failed to) exactly as yours did. My only working key just broke. Thank goodness for your video! I just held the broken one up until the security light went off and then stared it with the new key! Calling a locksmith in the morning, but thank goodness I'm not stranded! You're a lifesaver!
He's coming tomorrow, but he was adamant that if I use the key without the transporter to do EXACTLY what you did and TAPE the old key close to the ignition or it can screw up the car! I think he's going to take the transponder out of the broken key and then give me additional key that has no remote buttons for around $100. Stay tuned.....
I have a European Nissan Patrol 4X4 similar to a Landcruiser. I damaged one key and had the problem that I could not get another one coded to match the other one good key I had. I just removed the steering column cover and zip tied the good key to the barrel. No risk of damage to the glass encapsulated RFID (Chip) by trying to extract it from the key plastic and yes these often come in a glass vial, real easy to break. There is no no messing with the wiring. Took a little time to get it positioned right. Its been there now for nearly three years and my vehicle goes off roading. Purchased a couple of regular keys to have cut with aftermarket keyfob plips to operate the door locks and just signed them onto the system,
There are several type of remote assembly (remote module inside the case). Some of them got a tiny space next to battery cover to fit the chip. If don't, you can just glue it inside the case. Either way, you can "extract" the old chip using dremel and be careful not to damage the chip. I remember doing those rav4s and corollas when I was working as locksmith
HEy buddy! Yes, you're 100% right. Some people do extract the transponder ships in these keys, it's a very delicate job, I just choose to avoid it considering the car itself is a older style car at this point (2006) with lots of body damage. Since this video I've been using a 65 dollar Home Depot Programmed key.
@@hybrid32494 just a pin..hairpin or somethin to extract transponder from original keycase to transplant to new amazon/aliexpress case....all you need...no dremel, no taped case next to ignition lock. its easier than you think
Nice video man! Nice of you to share your knowledge with the rest of us 👍. So I have a 2018 RAV4 and I lost my master key but I am currently driving around with my spare key. Would I be able to apply the methods in this video to make extra copies? Or do I need the master key? Thank you in advance 🙏
hey man! thanks for watching. I just looked up the 2018 rav4 key, there is a smart key fob and a regular key for those models. IF you have the regular blade (metal key) you can take it directly to any Lowes or Home Depot and they will program a blank key for you. This will only work if your current key has the transponder in it already (as it should, to start the car). The basic principle is they just clone the transponder and cut a new key, now ofcourse you won't have the master key's keyless door buttons work, but the key will open the door and start the car if needed. Your only other alternative is to get it from the dealership and get them to cut and program it, probably will charge you close to 400-500 for this.
Hi, maybe you can help me? I had a locksmith come out about two years ago because both of my key fobs stopped working. When I changed the battery it didn’t work. The locksmith tried everything but could not get my key fobs to work. He even tried to program new key fobs. He said that it wasn’t connecting to my car. Do I have a blown fuse? The dealer said it would cost $500 for one key fob. What would you recommend?
Thanks for the video. I have a key that is NOT original , but does start and unlock the car. if i purchase a key on amazon, and go to lowes, will it be able to cut the new key? one more question, i heard of the key has a “G” at the tip there is only a certain kind that will work.
hello sir, its very rare for a key fob to stop working after a battery swap. More than likely you put the battery in incorrectly, please check it. Also check the battery with a voltmeter to be sure it's normal.
there is a way to program a transponder chip if you already have two keys.(I have not done this myself) Otherwise you would need an Home Depot or Lowes to use their machine to code the transponder chip in a new key.
If ya have two working keys you can program the key yourself that will cost ya nothing. Just put in the first key in the ignition turn it to the right do not turn the engine on then take key out, then within 5 seconds put in the second key turn to the right do not start engine take key out, then within 10 seconds put in the key to be programmed turn to the right do not start engine leave it in for a few seconds take the key out, then put key back in the engine should start with the key that ya programed. Home Depot and Lowes will not cut keys with chips in it ya have to go to a locksmith
I have no transponder key or any key with the chip I lost mine had one cut by a locksmith but does not have a chip how do I pay bypass all that I get my car started with the key that was cut by the locksmith which does not have a chip on it
I bought a 98 Camry at auction a few days ago with no key. Locksmith cut a key that opens doors and. Motor turns over but wont start. How can I start this car
hello, No I did not. I decided to not mess with the chip and just keep the original key as it is. I have been using the ket home depot made this whole time, it works. Not very convenient because there is no keyless features anymore, but it works.
Hello, the chip "transponder" key needs to always be programmed by somebody with the equipment. Since it's a regular blade key you can get a copy done like I did at Home Depot of lowed for a total of about 75 dollars.
hybrid32494 what about a 2012 Nissan Sentra transponder key? Mines take forever to start. I use the same key to open the door and start the car no key fob just the transponder. Anti left light keeps coming on.
I swapped new key and ignition switch on my 99 Sienna held old key next to new key car started but would not shut off when I did the reverse and even when I disconnected battery, the only thing I knew then was to let it run out of gas...any comments?
hello. This method will work on any car with a transponder chip in the key, so basically all cars I'm aware of since 1998 have those. You gotta check for a fact though, which model Honda do you have, I will look it up for you.
yes, you def have the transponder key. You should just get a new key copied and programmed at Home Depot. IF if don't work, just return it. They had to do mine three times before they figured it out on this based Toyota RAV4.
That is just the cheapest possible steering wheel wrap kit from eBay. I think I paid 3 bucks for it, from china. Works well and is quite smooth and warm in winter. So far no rips in the past 2 years.
Hello, do you mean if the Home Depot OR LOWES chip kets will work? IF so, then yes. Basically as long as you have one functional transponder key it can be copied.
@@hybrid32494 Was looking on their site to see if this specific key works on a 2008 will go to a local HD see what they have and yes I have a working key fob.
hey buddy! you have an issue with the key's transponder. Are you using the original key? Sometimes the chip inside the key becomes faulty and looses connection with the car's transponder. This is an anti-theft system and all cars have this. Basically if the key and car's system isn't programmed correctly or looses connection the car will not stay running.
Yes i am using my original key the battery was dead and i replace the battery.one night i came home from work,parked and went to bed: next morning the car starts and shutoff immediately
hey dude! I though about that also, but the force you need to turn the key is quite substantial, no glue will hold that in. You're much better off getting a full new key.
It's not that hard to get the chip out of an old key. I do it by prying on different areas with a small screwdriver until something starts to come loose. I usually break some plastic on the key, but the key is dead, anyway. The chip will stay put in the new key without glue. The least expensive durable option if you have a chip is to get something like the Ilco TOY43-GTS blank key that has a slot to insert your chip. (You'll need to match the key model to your model of car.) I don't consider the keys with built-in remotes to be durable, nor a lot of the cheap keys on eBay or Amazon. Open one up and you'll see. If you're a super-cheapskate, I suppose you could epoxy your chip to an all-metal key.
hey man, thats a problem. Does the key you have even start the car? If it starts the car, then it's got to have a transponder in it. IF it only opens the doors and does not start the car then there will be no way to copy the transponder coding which the key should have.
you definetly have an issue with the key transponder not communicating with the receiver near the ignition itself. This sometimes happens, I have never had it happen myself. Has the key you are using ever started this car? IF it has, then its likely there is anther issue.
Take pliers and break the old o me off. Or throw it in warm water and use a razor blade. The home depot key was unnecessary. You could have got the Amazon key for the 15 and cut for 5. Then transfer transponder. Using two keys is more expensive and less efficient. Good luck.
thanks for the advice. Although I still think the Home Depot key is very useful because it is like a second key, I still have the old transponder in the original Toyota key. Technically I can now program a third one. The Home Depot key has now become the main key, and no issues at all. In terms of a second key this was the cheapest route. In terms of just one key, your method would have worked too.

How do you program a transponder for the vehicle?
there is a way to program a transponder chip if you already have two keys.(I have not done this myself) Otherwise you would need an Home Depot or Lowes to use their machine to code the transponder chip in a new key.
Search it on TH-cam, a lot of videos on how to program the key yourself, easy to do.

Super glue it inside the steering cover. Any duplicated key will work on that car then without any programming.

I replace the ship in the New key but the engine is still spinning without responding
Did you make a video about removing the chip?

How bout detaching the leg of the new key to the head of the old key by gluing

But you can't program that $10 key w/chip if you only have ONE original key, duh.
