    Anyone buy this card from the Ebay seller yet? I'd like to know if it's legit. I have my 10k service coming up and I'd like them to program the key at the same time.

    Where I think this credit card style key fob shines is if you get a 3rd party remote start on your truck, which is what I'm planning to do. This is what I intend to get: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/idatastart-hc3-5-2-way-led-remote-start-system-installation-included-black/6475202.p?skuId=6475202
    It usually gets down to $300 after winter.

    I want to have the credit card key in my wallet and use this remote starter fob as my fob since it can go further and it reports back. Seems like the perfect combo to me.

    No feedback, so I bought it today. I'll report back on how much the dealer charges to program it and how much it would cost to have the key cut by a locksmith.

    I can second the motion. bought one eBay and dealer couldn't get it to work. said it needed to be a virgin card.
    Ordered one from the dealer, had it programed today. works great.
    Fortunately eBay has a good return policy. only thing wasted was time and $160 in the price difference. Dealer didn't charge me for 2nd programing trip.

    I thought long and hard about getting one from the eBay guy but decided not to waste my time, glad you guys took the bullet for me to confirm but sorry it was a waste of time.

    I do wish we could have a digital key in Apple wallet. I almost never carry a wallet anymore, unless traveling.

    The Tacoma Key Card 100% works with my 2022 Platinum Tundra.

    Here's my experience.
    * I read about the Key Card on this forum and purchased it on eBay for ~$100.
    * Dealer didn't think it would work, I sent the car nut video and after a couple of conversations they agreed to try. The eBay key card didn't work but their mechanic said it would have except the Key Card I provided wasn't an unassigned key ie it was not a "OEM virgin Key Card" (BTW, eBay seller refunded the purchase.)
    * I ordered a key card from the dealer, next day they programmed it and it works great.

    The Key Card isn't cheap but it's worth it for me, at least until the Apple Digital Key works...

    I trust the dealer, they've always taken great care of me and I'm certain they didn't just want to sell me their more expensive Key Card.

    The dealer I use is - North Park Toyota, San Antonio Texas. Ask for Service Advisor John A. (I asked if I cold post his name)

    I didn't even get a chance to take the Ebay card to the dealer. Sent it right back based on your guys' feedback. Big thank yous for the updates.
