Great price and works perfect on a 2007 camry. Saved hundreds vs the dealer.

These keys work perfectly fine as long as they are "correct" replacements for your key fob and you can get them properly programed to your ECU.Here are a few things you need to be aware of:1. Your key MUST BE the same as this one an have the dot on the shaft of the key blank and not a letter like a G. These keys operate on a specific frequency and the letters and dot on the shaft of the key denote which frequency range the transmitter the key works on.2. Understand what The FCC ID (HYQ12BBY) actually means. Every device in the USA that can emit a radio signal is required by law to register the design and specs of that device with the FCC. This is so the FCC can address any issues with that device with the manufacture. So the FCC ID is the registration number of a specific device to a specific manufacture. HYQ12BBY is the FCC ID of the original key fobs for Toyota's OEM Denso that makes these key fobs for them. Since these keys are not made by Denso they have their own unique FCC ID 2AOKM-TOY-V1. But they are both on the same frequency 314.35 MHz.When you see sellers saying that they are the same or equivalent to HYQ12BBY operating on the same frequency.You can google the FCC ID number for both of these and look at all the details to see they are the same specs. You will not find any key fob not made by Denso with the FCC ID HYQ12BBY for the above stated reasons.3. Understand that these keys are "immobilizer" keys, so that means they have an RFID tag inside the fob with a unique serial number that has to be programed to your cars computer before it will allow the car to start. Even if you get the key cut and insert it in your ignition and turn it, the car will crank, but since the key is not bound to your ECU, the cars computer will not allow fuel to flow preventing the car from starting and being stolen. The quickest way to see that you key is not properly programed is to simply put it in the ignition. If the "security" light inside the car icon is still blinking then that means the ECU does not recognize the key and will not let it start your car. Put your current key in and you'll see that security light go out. That's the immobilizer system telling you if the key is registered or not.4. Programming your keys. Programming these keys are super easy and only take 2 minutes with the correct equipment. It's absolutely criminal what the dealer and locksmiths charge for this service as it cost them virtually nothing other than the initial equipment. But here is the rub, a lot of locksmiths will tell you they won't or can't program a key they didn't sell you which is pure BS. As long as it is a direct replacement for your OEM key (which these are) then there is zero reason they cannot program your key. They are saying that to force you to buy a key from them for $150 per key. To some degree I understand what they are saying because buying a key from someone else and asking them to cut and program it is like going to a restaurant with groceries in hand and asking them to cook it for you.I used the Toyota Techstream app on my laptop with an ODB2 - USB dongle here on Amazon to program mine and it literally only took two minutes to register it to your ECU.Be aware however that you need to complete two steps for these keys. Step 1 is to register the keys immobilizer chip to your ECU. Then your key will start and run the car. However there is another step where you have to associate the wireless part of the transmitter to your cars "body" computer to allow it to lock and unlock your doors/trunk with the remote, that is a separate step. Doing that is only another minute to complete.Now the rub is that if your locksmith is using an aftermarket programmer it may not give them the option of setting up the wireless functions of the remote, just registering the immobilizer to the ECU, or they don't know how to do it or where the feature is in their tool. so they'll say "ohh I can't program that feature in that key" and it's pure nonsense as its the exact same process for an OEM key, they just don't know how to do it or you got the wrong key for your key (G stamped on the shaft instead of the dot which means its on a different frequency). But this is not the fault of the key, but your locksmith inability, or you bought/received the wrong item.5. Cutting your key blank. Anybody can cut your new blank key to match your current key. But the issue is programming it. After I confirmed that I could program my new keys (you can do it before cutting the key, as it will go in the ignition for programming) I had lowes cut my blanks for $3 each. But again some other shops may not want to cut or program your key unless they sell you the exact same key fob for $140 dollars per key. Call and around to various stores, my local Ace Hardware would sell you a new key cut, and programed for about $200 and said they would even cut and or program any key I brought in. You just need to call around.6. Your cars ECU can only support so many key programed at once. My car a 2009 Camry will only allow you to have 7 keys (or 5, I forget) programed to the ECU at any given time. So keep that in mind if you are buying a used car. Someone may of lost multiple keys and got new ones bound to the ECU. So if they did that multiple times without deleting the lost keys from the ECU then you may hit that limit and the ECU will not bind your new key until you delete an old one. But it's really simple to delete all unused keys from your ECU if you are using the Toyota Techstream diagnostic app. Any competent locksmith should not have any issues doing this if its an issue. Just make sure you have ALL THE KEYS you want bound to the ECU on hand for this operation.Hope that all helps anyone confused on how this all works, but despite the handful of inaccurate reviews these keys absolutely do work if you got the right one for your car and programed it properly.

The 2009 Camrys do not have a way to self program the key fob. But no special tools are required to cut the key. I had Toyota service cut the key and program the key for 70ish Canadian dollars. Plus the key itself, there is a tremendous savings this way. I was quoted around $450 from Toyota to order, cut and program a key from them.Short version, order the key- get it cut and depending on your car, either program your key or go to dealer to get it programmed. Save money

I was skeptical at first but I purchased these two keys. Went to a locksmith and had them programmed . total cost was $150 to do them both. Great savings and they work perfectly .

Ordered for a 2009 Camry LE. Customer service with Keyless2go is unparalleled. They have amazing communication. The best advice I have is to call your vehicle’s dealership with the VIN for your car and get the part number for your key. Then email Keyless2go and verify what key you need to order. Take your new and old key to a locksmith that will program and cut keys and you are gtg. This would have cost me $150 for the key and another $150 to cut and program it at the dealership. $18 here and $75 to cut and program at a locksmith and it works perfectly.
