2004 Toyota RAV4 Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
People lose all their Toyota keys more often than you would guess. The most common story is simple. They bought the car used with one key, always meant to get a spare, and years later that one key finally breaks. The shell cracks, the blade snaps in the door, or the fob goes through the wash.
A woman at her apartment in National City had her only key to her 2004 Toyota RAV4 crack at the housing and the blade snapped clean off in the door lock. Half stuck in the lock, the fob housing in her other hand. Zero working keys and a car she could not open.
I used my VVDI2 to read the transponder data from the broken key's chip, which was still intact inside the cracked housing. The VVDI2 reads the chip code even from a damaged key, saving time because I did not need a full all-keys-lost immobilizer reset. I extracted the blade fragment, decoded the lock, and cut two fresh keys. Her fob, FCC ID BAB237131-056, was a 3-button key that I rebuilt into a new shell with the salvaged chip and circuit board.
She went from zero keys to two in about 40 minutes. Total was $77. A full AKL without the broken pieces would cost more, and the dealer wanted $174 regardless. If you still have the broken key, bring it. The chip inside a cracked fob is usually fine and makes the job faster and cheaper.

Emergency rescues that earned five stars
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
