This is a known issue with the keyless systems, a problem that the keyed systems did not have. And we paid extra money for it The Fobs cost hundreds to replace. Things I would remove from my 4runner TRD Off-road Premium in a perfect world. 1. keyless entry 2. fake hood scoop (limited or SR5...

Someone has to come up with a solution to the FOB cloning theft problem. Too many "premium" Toyota and Lexis are vulnerable. I wish I had a plain old key ignition switch now! I was originally excited about the pushbutton system because I thought it meant that remote start and all of the Toyota...

I would love to have that remote keypad for about half the price. I wonder if it can thwart thieves who clone your key fob?

I forgot to subscribe to this thread, and I thought it was gone, so I started another one. Chalk it up to my inexperience . Thanks for all of the information, Looks like the best way is to get a smart key , program it yourself, have it cut , turn it off and put it in the front of the car in...

Headlights all adjusted, went too far down first time, had to bring them back up. I usually don't use the trailer that much, so I can live with dragging A@# a little. Personally I like the level stance, and a little more space under the TRD skidplate.

Thanks for the info, I already turn off the fob every chance I get. It works the same on the 4runner. The reason I started this thread was I wanted to put a hidden key somewhere on the frame under the body. I was looking for a simple key that would only unlock the door and allow the car to be...

Thanks , for the info. There are a lot of them on Ebay and a couple on Amazon. I will try to find the best one.

That reminds me, I have to re-adjust the headlights.

Just checked with Toyota, All in a new programmed fob and cut key is $375.00 . This is ridiculous I wish my 4runner had a key without pushbutton start. Is there a way to downgrade it?

I just checked at Ace hardware, and they wanted $400.00 for a new key Fob. I want to have a secret key attached somewhere on my frame . so of I loose my key while hiking or camping I can get it and start my 4runner A smart key in this position would always allow the car to start, so I would...

You are saying that the problem is that the rear is set high for purposes of utility. The ground clearance is less than 9.6" because of the front sag. When I put the Bilsteins on the ground clearance is within spec and the front driveshafts are parallel with the ground. I think gas mileage...

I have keyless entry, and would like to "stash" a spare key somewhere on the frame in case I loose my smart key while hiking or hunting. Does anyone know of a way to have a key cut for the door with a chip in it that doesn't "transmit" all of the time? This key could be held to the start button...

Just installed my 5100s with a 1.75" lift in front. The front and rear wheelwells are the same distance above the ground, and the front axle shafts are perfectly level at ride height. The radar cruise control works, and the vehicle handles just fine. Does anyone know why Toyota made the stock...

I bought a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks , and I have been looking to either put it on second position (0.87" lift), or the third position (1.74" lift) . I was worried about the adaptive cruise, etc. as it will change the rake. I am not going to a larger tire, just want the extra ground clearance...
