Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2015 Toyota Camry Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in the Santee Lakes Area called me mid-afternoon on a weekday. He'd been out near the lakes, had his only fob with him, and somewhere between the trail and the car it was gone. He retraced the path twice. No luck. His 2015 Camry was sitting in the lot, locked, with nothing.

All-keys-lost on a Camry like this means starting from zero. No working fob to reference, no mechanical key to get in the door. First step was getting into the car itself, which I handled through the lock cylinder using standard automotive entry technique. Once I had the door open, I decoded the lock to get the correct cut depths for the blade, so the mechanical side of the replacement key would match without any guessing.

From there I connected through the OBD port and ran the immobilizer reset sequence. On the 2015 Camry this clears every previously registered key out of the system, which matters because his lost fob now can't start the car even if someone finds it. Then I registered the new fob and tested every function at the vehicle before calling it done.

He watched the whole thing from a few feet away, which I actually prefer. When the Camry fired up and the security light cleared, he looked a little relieved and a little surprised that it happened right there in the lot. No tow, no dealer wait, no leaving the car overnight. About 50 minutes start to finish.

The dealer comparison came up on its own. He'd already called them while he was waiting for me and heard the number. He didn't elaborate, just said "yeah, I'm glad I called you first."
