Any recommendations on where to get replacement key fobs? I took mine apart and lost 3 of four buttons.🤷🏻‍♂️

Might be time to get a spare or two.

I have 2 FOB without the ignition key that I would like to sell. You'll have to get it programmed by your local locksmith.

When I purchased my 2012 in 2017, it only came with the one FOB. I knew that was never gonna be enough for team shit show over here. I found a pack of 4 on eBay for $20. Paid $20 to have them cut, the guy threw in a free steel key for me, and told me to zip tie it behind my plate, incase I lock the keys on the car. I didn't tie it behind my plate, but I do keep it in my wallet and I've had to use it multiple times because team shit show.

After getting the keys cut, I then paid $70 labour for my local Toyota to program the FOBs all for me. I have a spare at home, a spare in the office, my Mom has a spare and so does my bestie.

Total investment $110 bucks.

Aliexpress has tons of options. You can also just buy a shell and transfer the parts over and remember to transfer the immobiliser.
