After market FOBs?

Has anyone used an aftermarket fob service for their tundra? I’m going on a long, camping road trip this summer, and it would probably be a nightmare to take one key and lose it.

 

I purchased my 2nd one from my dealer. Might check your dealers parts dept for that option.

 

That's wild you- 1) Had to buy the second fob 2) Were able to get one whilst most people are being given a supply constraint excuse for only getting one with vehicle. Toyota promising to contact and send out a second at no cost, on an undetermined date.

 

Did not have to buy - chose to buy - as I wanted that 2nd fob now. Wife and I regularly travel out of state and chose not do that with only one fob. Personal choice.

 

Understood completely, definitely a great call to have two.
Apologies, I worded it wrong. Meant, if the dealership had it in stock, and you weren't issued a second one upon purchase, they should've given it to you instead of making you pay.

 

Wait, so this whole time we can all get our second fob if we purchase it instead of having to wait to get one for free???

 

Some of us paid WAY more than $60k and only have one key.

 

Mine came with 2,.......never take the second fob. Tow my boat, take 1 boat key. Cargo trailer 1 door key. I am 59 and yet to be locked out or stranded

 

I'm the worst with my keys. I tend to set things down places when doing things and squirrel myself into a panic. Usually find it eventually, yes the refrigerator is a fair game.

 

tell me you're not a man without finding the tv remote or screw driver in the oddest places.

 

mind me asking how much you paid for that 2nd key?

 

In fairness, about 10 years ago I had mountain bike stands bolted in the box above the wheel wheels. Camping I unlocked the bikes,.....2 days later needed to move the truck and guess where I found the keys after a 10 minute search .....in the bike lock.

Ever since then, keys go in a certain place at every shutoff. Before fobs I always had a key stuck in the gas cap door. Never used it but always knew it was there. Not like anyone pumps your gas anymore

WHEn I go anywhere now before I shut the truck off I check my pocket for the FOB. Getting old is a bitch

 

Bought my Limited Thursday and only 1 FOB was thinking of buying another at the dealer while waiting on my second key…

 

I lost my second key. I called Toyota and they were expensive. So I called around to Locksmiths. I found one that was cheaper than all the rest. He sold a no-name one and a Toyota one.
He recommended the Toyota one.

 

Parts dept - $290 + tax and service orig stated $180 + tax, but after talking to them they cut me a pretty good break on that.

 

That’s ridiculous, mine came with 2, does it not come from the factory with 2? Did my dealer just throw in an extra one? If it is a chip issue, then they should still give you the second one when they have the inventory rather than selling you one.

Yep this is a reoccurring issue, and Toyota has done a really bad job handling it.

 

Doesn't make sense that they are sending inventory to the dealerships to allow sales but not fielding shortages to people who've already spent their hard earned money

 

If a dealer has units on the lot, and you know about this 1 fob currently going on, you could negotiate a 2nd fob in your deal using his stock.

 

They not going to say a word till it's late in the game and then make it out to be only a week or two.

 

mine came with 2

 

Mine has 2

 

Has anyone tried a non OEM Fob?

 

I wonder if its country related as I m in Canada and a lot of simple items such as fobs and leather manual holders I have where some americans do not??
