I've searched and can't find an answer, I would like to change my key, remote fob for a complete unit. It looks like the 2007+ Avalon's have the key and remote together, and the 2006- the key and remote fob are separate.

Can you use the 2007+ key/remote with a 2006 I have a friend that is a tech and could cut and program it for me, I just want to make sure before I go out and purchase it. Also does it matter if the key/remote is from ebay or should it be an oem part.

anyone one here ever changed the key that is separate from the remote, into the integrated key/remote from what looks like the 2007+ avalon's?

I'd buy one from a reputable place or seller with a decent return policy. Try to program it first, before cutting it and, if it doesn't work, just send it back. As long as the key portion matches for cutting, I would think it might be worth the minor trouble, considering it is what you want.

Good luck.
