Why do automobile keys cost so much?
As you can see above, as technology advances, auto keys become more expensive. Simple machines or tools may easily duplicate basic keys and fobs because they don’t have complex mechanics. Modern keys include more sophisticated transmitters, codes, and programming, which increases the cost because duplicating them takes longer and requires more expensive hardware. And finally, if you’re working with a luxury car company, be prepared for increased expenditures.

Where can I go to make a Toyota key?
Losing the Toyota automobile key can be a stressful and nerve-wracking experience. It is usually preferable to have an extra key on hand as opposed to needing to get a new key after losing your old one. There are various ways to obtain a replacement key for your Toyota vehicle.
Step 1
Bring your current key to any location where duplicate keys are made. Your automobile’s key may or may not have a manufacturer’s chip in it, depending on how old your car is. Have a duplicate key created by anyone with a key machine, such as the employee at your neighborhood hardware shop, if the key does not have a chip. You can still make a copy of a key with a chip in it. However, the replacement key won’t operate unless it also has a chip that can be configured to correspond with the computer system of the vehicle.
Step 2
Visit the Toyota dealership in your area. Whether or not the Toyota key has a chip, the shop can create a replacement for it. The dealership is also equipped to program the chip on-site, and it could even be able to create a key without using an old key as a template. A replacement key that fits your locks and ignition can be made by some dealerships without ever seeing the original because they retain records for all car keys. The dealership can be your best option if you’ve lost your keys if you need a replacement right away.
Speak to a locksmith who specializes in car keys. A replacement vehicle key that is compatible with your car’s computer system can be made by a number of locksmiths who stock programmable, chipped car keys. Depending on the technology he has access to, a locksmith should be able to cut a new key for your automobile and program the chip for you. If there isn’t a Toyota dealership nearby, you might be able to have a locksmith make a functional new key.
Is the key to a 2007 Toyota Camry chipped?
Over time, the Toyota key has been altered. Find out what kind of key your Toyota Camry needs in the information below.
Your key is just a conventional key with no additional features if your Toyota Camry was manufactured in the years 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, or 1997.
You can either have a standard key with no features if your Toyota Camry was manufactured in the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, or 2002, or you can have a transponder chip key. The Toyota Camry at the time offered the buyer the option of either a conventional key or a transponder chip key. Give your Toyota Camry VIN number and the type of key you have when you phone the Toyota dealership. If you contact and request that a locksmith visit you, the locksmith will be able to tell you whether your Toyota Camry needs a transponder chip key or not right away.
Your Toyota Camry needs a transponder chip key if it was manufactured in the years 2003, 2004, 2005, or 2006. These keys must be cut and car-specifically programmed.
Your Toyota Camry can have a conventional transponder chip key, a key fob remote, or a Smart key if it was manufactured in the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016. You can contact a locksmith service or a Toyota shop to find out which key your Camry needs.
If you’ve lost your key and don’t have a spare, there are a few locations where you can make a replacement. A Toyota dealership is the first place to try to get a replacement key, and a locksmith business is the second. The two are different in terms of service type and price. A Toyota dealership may request that you come by to make a key, or in some situations, tow the vehicle in. A locksmith business will be able to visit your Camry immediately away and make you a key there and then. The VIN number will enable the dealership or the locksmith to create a new key for you. The locksmith will be able to utilize various tools to produce you a key if the dealership is unable to do so for some reason based on the VIN number. You should always look around for the best deal, as we always advise.
There are two possibilities for why your Toyota Camry key won’t turn the ignition.
You have a damaged key, which is the more frequent initial explanation. Making a duplicate of the same key won’t solve the issue. We advise you to get a new key created using the VIN number or key code information. A Toyota dealership or a locksmith are both places where you can get a key produced using the VIN number or key code.
Your Toyota Camry key may not turn the ignition for a second reason if a wafer, one of the components in the ignition cylinder, has been jammed. We advise you to have your ignition cylinder rekeyed by contacting a locksmith.
You can get a key duplicated at a Toyota dealership, a locksmith business, or numerous hardware stores if your Toyota Camry was produced between 1983 and 1997. Ace Hardware is a hardware retailer that we advise you to check out.
Making a spare key for a Toyota Camry that was manufactured in 1998 or after is more complex and expensive. The key must be cut in addition to being programmed to your car’s immobilizer. This key can be made for you by a locksmith or a Toyota shop.
