2018 Toyota 4runner Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy in Ojai, over in the Mira Monte area, lost his only key to a 2018 4Runner somewhere between the sand and the parking lot. He retraced the walk twice, checked with every person nearby, nothing. His 4Runner was sitting locked in the lot with no way in.
I started with the TOY43 Lishi. It picks and decodes Toyota's standard keyway by reading each wafer position inside the lock cylinder, all ten of them. That gives me exact cut depths for a new blade without the original key ever being in my hand. Once the door was open and I had the mechanical side done, I connected through the OBD-II port and ran the immobilizer reset on the 4D-72-G system to clear the old key registration and write the new HYQ12BBY.
The part that always surprises people is the wait. Toyota's immobilizer reset on an all-keys-lost job has a timed security countdown built in, about 15 to 20 minutes where you just stand there. I used the time to cut and test the blade. When the timer cleared, I registered the new transponder, tested all three buttons, locked and unlocked from 30 feet, and turned the engine over.
From lock decode to engine running, about 50 minutes. He drove home the same afternoon. The dealer quoted him a tow plus a multi-day wait plus a price that made him wince. This was done in a parking lot for a fraction of that.
