🔧 PRO TIP
The 2000 4Runner remote is a standalone keyless entry fob, not a smart key. It controls the doors and locks, but the ignition is a separate key that goes into the cylinder. That means if the fob dies completely, you still drive the car, you just lose the remote convenience. The battery is a CR2032 and it sits in a tray inside the fob. When range starts dropping, that's almost always the battery or a slightly bent contact clip, not a bad fob. Worth pulling the back off and checking the clip pressure before assuming the remote needs to be replaced or reprogrammed. Also worth knowing: if your 4Runner was assembled in Japan, the VIN starts with J, and the remote system can be configured differently than a North American-assembled unit with a VIN starting with 1, 4, or 5. Always check the VIN before ordering a replacement remote.

2000 Toyota 4runner Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in Las Positas came up to me at a coffee spot on the east side of Santa Barbara because he recognized my van from a YouTube video. He'd been watching my Toyota key jobs for a while, had my number in his phone, and figured he'd say hello before he ever needed anything. That's the version I like.

A few months later he called. His 2000 4Runner fob had been losing range for weeks, down to about arm's length, and then it stopped responding entirely. He was manually unlocking and locking every time. Not the end of the world on this system since the key still turns the ignition just fine, but annoying enough that he finally made the call.

I met him on his street in Las Positas. First thing I did was pop the fob open right there on the hood. The CR2032 was still showing voltage but the positive contact clip had taken some stress, probably from the battery being pried out at some point instead of lifted. Cleaned the contacts, reseated a fresh CR2032 with good clip tension, tested range from across the street. Solid.

But I always test all the buttons before I close the job. Lock, unlock, and the other two. One of the secondary buttons had a lazy response, soft press didn't register, firm press did. That's a worn contact pad under the button, common on a fob this age. Cleaned it with contact cleaner and it came right.

He didn't need a new fob. He needed the right fifteen minutes of attention. That's the job a lot of the time on a vehicle this age.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”

Toyota 4runner Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to handle all-keys-lost on my 2000 4Runner?
Call a mobile locksmith before you call the dealer or a tow truck. On a 2000 4Runner, all-keys-lost means cutting a new key to the vehicle and getting the ignition side sorted, along with reprogramming the remote if you want that function back. Dealers on older Toyotas like this will often quote you a wait plus parts markup, and you still have to get the vehicle there with no working key. A mobile locksmith comes to you in Las Positas or wherever the truck is sitting, handles the cut and the programming at the vehicle, and you pay a fraction of what the dealer route costs. No tow, no overnight, no waiting in a service queue for a 25-year-old truck.
Can you delete lost or stolen remotes from my 2000 4Runner so they no longer work?
Is there an emergency blade hidden inside my 2000 4Runner fob?
My 4Runner fob worked fine, then I replaced the battery and now it does nothing. What happened?
I bought a replacement fob online for my 2000 4Runner. Will it work once I put a battery in it?
