The Toyota Camry has used several key systems since 2007, from chipped metal-blade keys to Smart Key proximity fobs with push-button start. Which one your car uses depends on its model year, trim and VIN, so the first thing we do is confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting or programming anything.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987, and we are fully mobile. There is no shop to tow to; we bring the equipment to your Camry at home, at work or wherever it is parked, day or night.

Whether you want a spare key for peace of mind or you have lost every key to the car, the process is similar: verify ownership, identify the right key by VIN, cut the blade if there is one, and program the key to your vehicle on site.

Toyota Camry key systems by year

2007–2011

Camrys from this era generally use a transponder (chip) key with a metal blade, and many trims have remote entry buttons for lock and unlock. The blade must be cut to match the locks and ignition, and the chip must be programmed so the immobilizer recognizes it and lets the engine start. The exact key, chip and programming depend on trim and VIN, so we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting.

2012–2017

Most Camrys in these years use a transponder key with a metal blade, while higher trims could be equipped with a Smart Key push-button system. A bladed key needs both cutting and chip programming; a Smart Key fob is programmed to the vehicle and usually contains a hidden emergency blade for the door. Because equipment varies by trim and VIN, we verify which system your car has by VIN before preparing a key.

2018–2024

Most Camrys from this era use a Smart Key proximity fob with push-button start, letting you unlock and start the car with the fob in your pocket. Replacement involves supplying a compatible fob, cutting its internal emergency blade, and programming the fob to the vehicle. The exact fob and programming depend on trim and VIN, and we confirm the correct key by VIN before cutting.

Exact key, chip and programming vary by trim and VIN — we confirm the right key for your car before cutting.

How we replace your key

  1. 1

    Call and describe your situation

    Call (323) 997-8867 and tell us your Camry's year, where it is, and whether you need a spare or have lost all keys.

  2. 2

    Verify ownership and VIN

    When we arrive at your vehicle, we check your photo ID and proof of ownership and confirm the VIN.

  3. 3

    Identify the correct key by VIN

    We use the VIN to determine the right key type, chip or Smart Key fob for your trim before cutting anything.

  4. 4

    Cut the blade

    For bladed keys or a fob's emergency blade, we cut the key on site to match your vehicle.

  5. 5

    Program and test

    We program the key or fob to your Camry and test locking, unlocking and starting before we leave.

What to have ready

  • Proof of ownership, such as the registration or title
  • Valid photo ID matching the ownership documents
  • The VIN, found on the dashboard near the windshield, driver door jamb, registration or insurance card

  • Access to the vehicle at its current location

Toyota Camry keys — FAQs

I lost all my Toyota Camry keys. Can you still help?
Yes. We come to your vehicle, verify ownership and the VIN, then cut and program a new key so the car starts. Call (323) 997-8867 any time, 24/7.
Can you make a spare key for my Camry?
Yes. Adding a spare while you still have a working key is often simpler than an all-keys-lost job. We confirm the correct key by VIN, then cut and program it on site.
What if I never had the original key?
That is fine. With proof of ownership, photo ID and the VIN, we can identify the correct key for your Camry and create one from scratch at the vehicle.
Does my Camry use push-button start or a bladed key?
Roughly, 2007–2011 Camrys use bladed transponder keys, 2012–2017 use transponder keys with Smart Key on higher trims, and 2018–2024 mostly use Smart Key fobs with push-button start. Exact equipment depends on trim and VIN, which we confirm.
Do I need to tow my Camry to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile with no shop; we come to your Camry anywhere in Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County.
How long does it take and what do I need?
It depends on the key type and whether you have a working key. Have proof of ownership, photo ID and the VIN ready to keep things moving. Call (323) 997-8867 for details.
