I think you can program up to 4 or 5 fobs and keys, I hit the limit too and had to erase them all and then add them back in. Its pretty easy.

Not sure if it's different by model year or not. I believe I read that it was a max of 3 chipped keys and 4 fob remotes for my 2003. Could be wrong tho.
The main thing I would like to do is reprogram the fobs to unlock all doors with a single click instead of the double click I have now. It's rather annoying. I was able to program all doors to lock when you shift out of park and then all doors unlock when you shift into park. That was nice.

i bought the flip key fob, just to see how big it was, its a little bulk for me, also sticks out close to the wiper stalk. programming is easy when you have the techstream software. sticking with the original keys, its easy to program and delete keys with the techstream software.
Has anyone tried this key yet?

Just did this with my 07 sr5 and it works flawlessly, Ordered the cheap one from Cali off of EBay, got the keyblade cut at Lowe’s for freesies (Lowe’s employee was hesitant at first but did it anyways) followed the instructions in this thread for programming the fob and key, and boom, new switchblade style key fob, thanks to the OP for this, I’m trying to lighten up my key chain also! I have about 15 bucks invested in this for anyone who wants to know.

My key from the beginning of this thread is still going strong. Just double checked, I bought mine in Nov '16. Still working flawlessly on the original batteries. Seeing this thread on the front page every now and then is great reminder of how good these knock-offs are, what a value.
A bit overwhelmed going through this thread. Found a few different options. Can anyone weigh in on which to go with?

I have the $12.88 one, actually bought a couple, and they have been working fine. Had the dealer cut them while I was buying a new regular key since my 4R only came with 1, worn out original key.
I was able to program both the fob and key without issues. My only gripe with the fob is that it's easy to accidentally press the buttons if you stick it in your pants pocket sometime. Usually flips the key out in your pocket but I've rolled down the rear window a few times too. I try to be a little more aware when I throw the fob into a pocket now, so not a big deal really.
After having used both styles of flip key, I bought this one off Amazon and its been the best so far just because it takes up the least amount of space in my pocket. The only downside is it doesn't have the rear window roll down button.

I bought it and the VW one. The X7 style is actually a little bigger, but not by much, and weighs 2.6oz vs 1.6oz for the VW. It definitely feels more substantial. The X7 is about the same thickness on the narrow side and then slightly thicker on the other side. It does seem like it would not ever break off the key chain, which is why I bought one of these in the first place, as I kept breaking the plastic fobs. There is also no panic button but some may find that's a benefit.
To be honest though, I'm not sure which one I'm going to use yet. I do like the idea of the smallest possible, which would be the VW.

It can only be programmed to roll the back window down, not up. Any of the keys that have the trunk one can do the rear window.
The one I linked to above I had to combine with Camry key guts (to get the trunk button) but kept the piece that allowed it to be programmed to my 4runner and the rear window roll down feature works.

Remote start
If I already have a remote start system installed, I’d there a way to program it to one of the blank buttons on the new fob? Maybe the panic? Or even holding down the lock?

Had mine over 8 years now, and as I'll likely have to replace the battery soon, your post spurred me to spend 10 minutes poking and prodding with a couple small screwdrivers. Haven't figured out how to pop this apart without completely destroying it.
Anyone know the secret here?
I specifically have the VW-style key like here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/132219599342 this is actually the same seller I bought from all these years later, though I think the same key is available cheaper from others.
