Please ... you sound like my father! Thats what your warranty is for! And I'd assume you are an intelligent shopper, as you purchased a Toyota. I've never had any such troubles in over a decade of owning Toyota/Lexus vehicles & I don't expect them to occur anytime within the near future!


The chances of anything breaking is still the same. There is not much technology difference with the smart key versus your keyless entry remote! They both work on RF signals. They both have an immobilizer chip built into the key itself. Heck, the only difference is that the car is constantly looking for that signal that the smart key is constantly sending out, so when you get close enough, the lights will come on, and when you pass your hand behind the door handle sensor, the door will unlock ... the same way the car is constantly looking for the signal from your standard remote. When you press the unlock button, the remote send out the signal that the vehicle is searching for and unlocks the doors.
