All Keys Lost: What Changes?

An all keys lost service in Burbank is more involved than making a spare from an existing working key. When there is no key to copy, our technician must confirm the correct key type, verify ownership, and prepare the vehicle to accept a new key safely.

This type of car key replacement with no original key may cost more than duplicate keys because it can require extra security access, cutting information, and testing time. In most cases, our mobile locksmith no key situation service is completed on-site, so towing to a dealership is not required.

AKL may require:

  • ECU or immobilizer reset/reprogramming when the vehicle security system requires it
  • Key code retrieval for mechanical keys when there is no original key to copy
  • Additional labor and programming time compared with a simple duplicate key

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Toyota smart key programming cost in Burbank?

Most Toyota smart key jobs fall between $180–$350 when you have a working key (spare/duplicate), and $280–$550 for all-keys-lost situations. Pricing depends on the year, fob type (Toyota HYQ14FBE vs newer encrypted variants), and whether the immobilizer needs an EEPROM-level reset. Our auto locksmith in Burbank quotes a firm price upfront — typically 30–50% below Toyota dealership rates.

Can you make a new Toyota smart key if all keys are lost?

Yes — all-keys-lost is one of our most common Toyota jobs. Our mobile locksmith team carries the OEM-level diagnostic equipment needed to read the immobilizer, generate a virgin fob, and pair it to your vehicle on-site anywhere in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, or North Hollywood. No towing to the dealership required, and we never charge for diagnosis.

Which Toyota models and years do you cover?

We program smart keys for Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, Prius, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, Venza, 4Runner, Sequoia from roughly 2010 through current model year, plus most other Toyota vehicles equipped with proximity entry. That includes toyota smart key system (sks) and smart entry with push-to-start. If you're unsure whether your Toyota is supported, send us your VIN by text and we'll confirm compatibility within minutes.

How long does Toyota smart key programming take on-site?

Adding a spare Toyota fob typically takes 20–35 minutes from arrival to driving away. All-keys-lost jobs run 35–60 minutes depending on the immobilizer generation. Our technician arrives within 15–30 minutes of dispatch in the Burbank area, so most Toyota owners are back on the road in under 90 minutes total — same-day, licensed and insured.

Do you fix the common Toyota issue: toyota smart keys losing sync after battery replacement?

Yes. Toyota smart keys losing sync after battery replacement is a known Toyota pattern we resolve regularly. We diagnose the root cause on-site — fob battery, antenna fault, rolling-code desync, or immobilizer corruption — then reprogram or replace the affected fob. All Toyota smart key work is backed by our 1-year warranty on parts and programming.

Why does my Toyota say 'Key Not Detected' even with a fresh battery?

Toyota's SKS antenna ring around the push-start button can desync after a CR2032 swap, especially on 2018+ Camry, RAV4, and Highlander models. We re-pair the fob to the certification ECU on-site — usually under 25 minutes — and reset the rolling-code counter so 'Key Not Detected' clears permanently.
