When I bought my 2001 Porsche 911, the seller only had one key for the car. It’s not comforting knowing that you only have one key for your 996. If you lose your one and only key, you’ll have to suffer the inconvenience of being stranded, but also with getting your car towed to the dealership where you’ll be forced to pay whatever they charge you to get you a new key. So, consider getting a spare replacement key.

There are a couple options out there that allows you to use a 2-in-1 remote key for the 4th generation Toyota 4Runner. The best part of all is that you only need to buy a specific remote key for about $20, get the key cut for about $10, and then program the remote and program the key all by yourself for free.

If you ever need an extra key for your 4th generation Toyota 4Runner and don’t want to to pay an arm-and-a-leg for the local dealership to do it, you can purchase a blank transponder key, get it cut at a locksmith, and program it yourself. Programming doesn’t require you to have any equipment or tools, so the only cost to you would be the purchase of a new key and to get it cut by a locksmith.
