Wallet Spare Key
Did anyone get this spare plastic key in a card thing from their dealer? I got it cut yesterday, and I am afraid to even try and see if it works. It looks like it has about one use before it strips and won't work anymore. I wonder if you can get just a door key made without the ignition chip in it that will easily fit in your wallet (i.e. not like the valet key that has a thick head on it). I don't want to depend on this thing if I get locked out!

My wife's Lexus came with a really nice metal one that has the chip in the card, so will even work as an ignition key, although it is a little thicker then the plastic POS Toyota gave me.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Yes I've used it more than once (not because I locked myself out) but just to show people what it was.

I never got one, I just have the two regular keys with remote and the valet key.

Yes. Got it done at a local key counter.

Mine was a piece of junk. Never worked! Stripped on the first try. I got a regular, thin, non-chip key to keep in my wallet. works great just to open the door.

I never got one either ...

Why are some people getting them and others not? Is it a regional thing?

Might be a dealer thing. I'll bet you could get one if you asked, but I wouldn't bother. It's not even worth your gas money.

I got one when I joined up with AAA recently...works well on the door and rear hatch. Haven't bothered to trie it in the ignition...

but what if you loose your keys and your wallet is locked inside your 4runner? Then what?

SOL?

it won't work in the ignition because of the chip on the regular keys. you "may" be able to hold up the real key to the ignition and use the plastic key, but why bother...

I never got one of these "plastic keys" and I just bought a 2005 Runner about 3 months ago. Never heard of such a think.

I bought my 4R a couple months ago and didn't get one.

Will using this key in the door shut off the alarm system?
