Toyota and Lexus moved from 4D and G-chip keys to H-chip and then to the 8A-BA smart system, which locks out generic programmers and needs either a licensed all-keys-lost routine or an immobiliser box read. Nissan and Infiniti use BCM-based programming with a 20-digit PIN, and Hyundai/Kia require a PIN derived from the VIN before any key is added.

Because these are the most common cars in Queens and Nassau, we carry deep stock: Toyota H-chip and 8A smart keys, Honda G-chip and proximity fobs, Nissan I-key blanks, Lexus smart keys, Hyundai and Kia flip keys, plus TOY43, TOY48, HON66, NSN14 and HY22 blades ready to cut.

We also fix what dealers replace: worn Honda ignition switches, Toyota Camry and Corolla door lock cylinders, sticky Nissan Altima ignitions, and fobs with dead internal antennas that still look perfect from the outside.
