Also checked alibaba site to see if there are shells to put our circuit board in like I did with my Mazda but didn't find any. What I did run across were flip key shells you could put the circuit board out of combo keys shaped like the one above in. So if the one above works with our cars then you could take board out of it and do flip key as long as key part is compatible to ours.

Like this..........






you can see inside shell the triangle shaped area for the key above a few posts.

So you would need the combo key above with correct FCC HYQ12BBX and put the circuit board in the tc flip key shell here even tho it says it is for FCC HYQ12BBY. All the buttons in the other pic here match the buttons on the combo key up above so it would seem to be doable.....if the combo one above a few posts with FCC HYQ12BBX actually works our car. I am game to try the combo one above and if it works, buy another one and the shell in this pic and have 2 original setups, one flip key and one combo key.

Also saw these....$40 but correct FCC and extra trunk button to ignore but no assembly required, just cut key and program.



I kinda like the 2 step thing above and not have extra non-functional button......but this one seems to be a go since it is specified for xA/xB

See about a different dealership or even a hardware store or auto parts and have them copy a working key.

Here is part number and link to a $12 shipped oem uncut key....




Look at the yrs the key fits in link - says 2004-2015 xB.......and that link is Toyota dealership.

A decent non-ripoff dealership should be able to tell by your VIN and year model that there is no chipped key......not even 2nd gen. The guy at the Mazda dealership was trying to tell me that a few miles down the road the car was gonna stall. I told him to cut the key and I would take my chances. Of course it didn't and has never been issue. It was also regular key with separate fob, just like the first gen setup. I was also there getting the switchblade keys cut.

Success! The combo key programmed up and works just like my other 2 oem fobs do. Ordering another one to put circuit board into the flip key shell and have the flip key too. Got oem key copied for free at Ace Hardware FTW! Works ignition and door key holes like a champ.




So I am going to end up having 2 oem key/fobs, combo key & flip key............It will end up costing me $47 - 2 $20 combo keys & $7 flip key shell................Just the route I chose, folks can go with the correct FCC ID flip keys listed above in 4 or 5 styles. All said and done there are a bunch of options other than the oem remotes.

There is also a silver oem fob with wrong FCC ID that would probably house our correct oem circuit board but those fobs aren't cheap for just the shell. I like it but really just more expensive similar oem option............




Got these $5 key chains to hang combo key and house keys on..........



or this one..............scored it too........
