My factory produces the keyless systems for Toyota. If you could get ahold of a flip key it could be programmed at the dealer. The keyless portion of the remote is called a fob. I have never seen one of the flip keys in person, so I can' t comment on the possibilty of modifying physicaly with our key. But the reciever in the car will normaly have 2-4 extra inputs. The main question is what frequency ranges the reciever will except, and if the dealer will do the job for you. You will have to show proof that it is your vehicle and some dealers may still decline to do it. There are some liability issues here. Just be nice and show as much proof as possible. The other concern will be if the new fob uses a rotating frequency. Most expensive aftermarket systems do this. The GM, Toyota, and Honda use a standard frequency that does not change. Quite often the alarm system in the GM car is aftermaket. Stinger is the most common that I have seen. During these situations the GM fob is programmed to the new alarm system.
