Toyota reuses fob shells across a huge range of vehicles, which is why the same-looking remote exists in a dozen versions that won't program to each other. What actually matters is the circuit board inside: Toyota smart keys are built on specific board numbers, and a remote only programs to vehicles that use its board. A RAV4 and a Camry can share a shell and still take different boards, and the button layout adds another layer on top.
EZ-Codes takes your Toyota VIN and returns the exact OEM remote part number, which pins down both the board and the button configuration. Locksmiths and owners get a fob that programs the first time instead of decoding FCC IDs and board stamps by eye.

Toyota smart keys are identified by the number stamped on the circuit board. Early models use the 0140 board; the "E" board is the 3370. Both carry an FCC ID ending in AAB, yet they do not program to each other. Newer vehicles moved to boards such as 5290, 0020 and 2110. With very few exceptions, boards are not cross-compatible, which is why matching the FCC ID alone so often produces a fob that won't program.
Beyond the board, the part number captures the button layout. A trunk button won't operate a hatch and a hatch button won't operate a trunk, so a sedan fob on an SUV can program fine and still leave a function dead. Emergency key blades differ too: some Toyota and Lexus keys use a double-sided blade, others single-sided. The part number settles all of it.
Push-button-start Toyotas use proximity smart keys, most with OEM part numbers in the 89904 family. The VIN lookup resolves the exact one for your build, so the board and buttons are right before you order.
Keyed-ignition Toyotas use remote head keys (remote and blade in one unit), commonly in the 89070 family. The lookup tells you which unit and which button layout your exact truck or sedan takes.
Covered models include: Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, Prius and the rest of the Toyota range.
Enter your 17-character VIN in the search on this page. We return the exact OEM part number for your specific Toyota in seconds, which identifies the board type and the button configuration.
Because one FCC ID can cover several different boards. The 0140 board and the 3370 (E) board both carry an FCC ID ending in AAB, yet they won't program to each other, and newer boards like 5290, 0020 and 2110 are separate again. The OEM part number identifies the board and the buttons, which is why matching it, not the FCC ID, is the safe way to buy.
Sometimes. If the Lexus remote uses the same board type as the Toyota, it can usually be programmed. The catch is the buttons and the blade: a trunk button won't operate a hatch and the other way around, and the emergency key can be single-sided or double-sided. Use the part number to get the right board and button configuration instead of relying on a cross-brand swap.
Yes. Lexus has its own lookup page and uses the same VIN search. Toyota and Lexus are covered together on EZ-Codes.
