I guess the with the newer electronic keys and fobs it is easy to have
millions of combinations so it is doubtful they will work on other

does have something in the FOB to open the door if the battery dies in
the FOB. Then you can hold it next to the start button and it gets
energised enough to start the car.



One of the selling points of the Toyota I bought last spring was that it
had a real live key. I can get a copy made at Ace for $2.50 instead of
$250.

It does have a switch to lock/unlock the doors and hatch which I assume
is installed to support the remote entry option. I also noticed the
other day that in addition to the beep if you pen the door with the key
in the ignition you can't lock the door.
