You can tell if your Toyota key is equipped with transponder chips by examining the blade of the key. If there is a tiny dimple or dot on one side, or if the key is marked with an 'H' or ' marking that means it has a transponder.

The cost of replacing a conventional metal key is typically less than $50. The cost of keys with a transponder chip is higher, as they need to be programmed in order to work with the system of your vehicle to immobilize it. Dealerships can have machines that cost between $150 and $250 to use. The key must be laser-programmed and cut.
