Roughly 2010–2017 push-to-start Toyota and Lexus smart-key systems are the primary application. 2018-and-newer FBS4 / online-seed systems are verified case-by-case and may not be supported. A technician confirms your specific system by VIN and module label before you ship.
Do I need proof of ownership?
Yes. Proof of ownership (title, registration, or bill of sale) is required for any key or immobilizer work before we begin. This protects you and keeps the service legitimate for your own vehicle, a purchased car, or a restoration project.
