    Yes mine works but haven't been using it. My whole reason was to use it for all in one but I can't program the fob with my aftermarket remote start so I am debating on getting the This remote start that retains the factory fobs to start. So I can use the switchblade

    So I just pulled the trigger on this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/1126236596...il&pgrp=main:email&e=op&mchn=em&s=ci&mail=sys

    I'm assuming after watching this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRg8til2TVk - that I won't need to go to a locksmith or dealer to program the chip in the key. Sounds like the biggest problem is finding someone that will cut the key to match?

    Anyone with a pre '10 Tundra been able to program the chip in the key themselves or did everyone go to a locksmith/dealer to make this key work?

    Thanks!

    Does anyone have been using this type of key for a good period of time? Wandering if still working. I heard they may go bad after few months.

    Re-opening this thread. I'm a new Tundra owner and got the switchblade key fob key cut, and have the TechStream on its way (arrives today). Does anyone know how to program the lock/unlock on the key fob? I tried the open/close door and insert/remove key method... and the turn the key to "On" 7 times method and neither worked. It is a 2013 Tundra ("Rock Warrior"). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!

    Just moved the parts over and cut the key today and it works great. I even managed to keep the original key in near perfect shape in case I need to switch back.

    Bumping old thread. What remote start do you have? I have a compustar that has a completely different fob, wondering if this would change anything if I can get it cut and programmed.

    How do you program the key fob with tech stream? I got the key programmed but where do I go for the fob?

    Sorry man, it's been over three years ago. Techstream is on my other laptop, so I can't access it right now. It's in there somewhere, and many have done it, so maybe someone else can chime in.
