No chip key ........will it work?

I want to have a key made at the hardware store that will just open my door. I know it probably want start the truck and that will be fine. My plan is to hide a key that will start the truck in the cab and hide the one from the store under the truck. Will they be able to make a key and will it just open my door? 2015 SR5

 

Yes... A non chip key can be made for around $3-

At Ace Hardware in my neighborhood....

 

You'll be able to open the door - the chip is only for starting the vehicle.

 

yes it will open the door

 

Yes, I did this. I duct taped the key under the truck so it would fall off the truck. I hide it in a very discreet location where it looks like it's part of the truck. ( used black duct tape)

 

So 2nd Gen's need a chip in the key to start it? That sucks because mine was sold with only one key and the local Toyota dealer quoted me at $45 bucks for a key (no fob) to get made for my 2011.

 

Yes they have a chip, even my old 98 Tacoma had a chip. New trucks comes with 2 sets. If you only got one, then I hope the other guy doesn't know where you live.

 

Mine has no chip key....

 

A key can be scanned to see if there is any chip in it

 

Do you have a base model? My old 98 was a sr5 and it had a chip. Maybe it's just base models that don't have chips.

 

That's cheap for a chip key!

 

Absolute Base model ... No power anything...
I lucked out! It has power steering and AC!
Auto trans. And a CD Player!

 

My 2014 sr model didn't have a chip.

 

Since w

Now we're getting somewhere .........it looks like anything above an SR package has a chip.

 

So in conclusion it goes like this.

Base...no chip
SR......no chip
SR5.....yes chip
4cyl sr5 ......no chip

This calls for a cold beer and some chips.

 

i don't think any 2nd gen with a 4 cylinder has a chip. My 2012 4x4 access cab sr5 had no chip. It had the i4.

 

Just to make sure we're all on the same page. If you have no key in the ignition and you have the blinking red security light on your center console, then insert the key and the blinking stops, you have a chipped key.

 

My 2009 regular cab SR5 does not have a chip key.

 

Correct, I was just pointing out that you can have a sr5 but no chip, if you have the 4 cylinder.

 

That's strange! My 98 sr5 did have a chip...... This chip stuff makes no sense to me now.
