Locked out of your Toyota Camry or down to one key? Apex Locksmith Pros is a mobile locksmith based in McKinney, and we come to you in McKinney or a nearby city we serve, so there is no tow to the dealer. 2007-2011 Camrys use a remote or smart key depending on trim, 2012-2017 cars take a remote-head key, and 2018-2023 models run a proximity smart fob. We cut and program the Camry key on-site by VIN, same day during business hours. You get the flat total on the phone before dispatch, with no call-out fee.

What Key Does the Toyota Camry Use?
What your Camry uses depends on the year. Older Camrys (roughly 2002 to 2011) run a transponder chip key, often Toyota's "G" or "H" chip family, that has to be cut to the ignition and programmed to the car. From about 2012 to 2017 you'll usually see a remote-head key, where the transponder, key blade, and lock/unlock buttons are all one unit. From 2018 on, most Camrys moved to a push-to-start proximity (smart) fob that the car detects in your pocket. We pull the right key data off your VIN, cut the blade (laser-cut/sidewinder on the newer ones), and program it with our Autel IM508 gear so the immobilizer accepts it. Push-to-start smart fobs cost more than a basic transponder key, and some model years need an existing working key on hand to add a spare faster.
The most common Camry call
The most common Camry call we get is worn fob buttons or a fob that's gotten flaky on range, where you have to stand right next to the car to get it to unlock. Most of the time the fix is a fresh CR2032 coin battery, which is cheap and quick. If the buttons are mushy or cracked from years in a pocket, the case and pad are worn out, not the electronics, so we can reshell the fob or program a fresh remote instead of charging you for a whole new system. The other big one is an owner who's down to a single key and wants a spare cut before the last one breaks or walks off.
Toyota Camry Key Fob FCC IDs
Flip your fob over: the FCC ID is printed on the back of the case. Find it below, or just read it to our dispatcher. It tells us the exact remote your Toyota Camry takes before the van rolls out.
| Years | Key type | FCC ID |
|---|---|---|
| 2007-2011 | Remote / smart key by trim | HYQ12BBY, HYQ14AAB |
| 2012-2017 | Remote-head key | HYQ12BDM |
| 2018-2023 | Proximity smart fob | HYQ14FBC |
Trim and market can change the fob, and several IDs often fit one model year. We confirm the exact part by VIN on every job, so a mismatched guess never reaches your driveway.

What Do Toyota Camry Owners Ask?
Straight answers for Toyota Camry owners in McKinney and nearby cities: which key your car uses, what to have ready and how on-site programming works.
Yes. We program Camry keys by VIN, so we don't need a working key in hand. On some push-to-start years it's faster and cheaper if you still have one good fob, but if you've lost all of them we can still build and program a fresh one on-site, then wipe the old keys if you want them locked out.
A basic transponder or remote-head key for an older Camry usually runs less than a push-to-start smart fob, which costs more because of the chip inside. Either way we come in well under dealer pricing and skip the tow and the wait, since we cut and program at your location. Call with your year and VIN and we'll quote it straight.
If a fresh CR2032 didn't fix it, the fob itself may have lost its programming or the internal board is failing. We can re-sync it to the car or program a replacement on the spot. If only the unlock buttons are dead but the car still starts, that's usually a worn button pad and we can reshell or replace the remote without touching the immobilizer.
We do. A 2014 Camry takes the remote-head key Toyota used from 2012 to 2017, with the blade, chip and buttons in one unit, and we cut and program it in your driveway. Older chip-key Camrys back to 2002 and the 2018-and-up smart-fob cars are covered the same way. Any year, just have the VIN ready.
It depends on the year. 2007-2011 Toyota Camry: HYQ12BBY or HYQ14AAB; 2012-2017 Toyota Camry: HYQ12BDM; 2018-2023 Toyota Camry: HYQ14FBC. The ID is printed on the back of your fob case. Trim and market can change it, so we confirm the exact part by VIN before the van rolls out.
