Can you do a Toyota all-keys-lost on site?

Yes for most push-to-start models. The immobilizer PIN is extracted and a new smart fob programmed at the vehicle. The newest security gateway on a small number of 2020+ models is the exception, and bladed-key all-keys-lost is dealer-only.

My Toyota smart key drains fast. Is it the fob?

Often it is the fob battery; a replacement and test is $25. A fob that keeps draining can have a failed proximity circuit and is replaced at the listed range.

Toyota key systems by year

The key Toyota used changed over time. Knowing the year tells you the system and whether it is handled on site. Add a spare while a working key exists and the job stays on the lower end of the range.

Years	System	On site?
1998–2003	Transponder key (D chip) Spare cloned from a working key, ordered ahead.	Yes
2003–2017	Transponder / remote-head key Most Camry and Corolla spare keys in this range are cloned or programmed when a working key is present.	Yes
2015–present	Smart key / push-to-start Modern Toyota smart systems programmed on site, including RAV4 and Highlander.	Yes

When a Toyota is dealer-only

•All-keys-lost for bladed keys (transponder, remote-head) is not currently offered — the dealer is the path there.
•A few 2020+ models with the newest security gateway may need a dealer-added key for the all-keys-lost path; spare cloning still works on site.

You are told before I head out, and before any charge, if your vehicle falls in this group.

The honest comparison

A Toyota spare made while a working key exists is the cheapest version of the job — the chip is cloned, no immobilizer session required. The same key originated after the last one is lost costs meaningfully more. A second key today is the cheapest Toyota key you will ever buy.
