Rim lock
 
I think it's also called lug nut lock maybe? The lock on your rims to keep people from stealing your rims. after 10k miles I just realized the dealer never gave me the key to unlock it. Whoops. How do I fix this? I'm seeing the dealer tomorrow and I want to make sure I fully cya. Thanks

check your glove box and the trunk for the key, if you are sure you dont have it, ask the dealer to replace the lug nut lock with a new set and hopefully they will do it for free. the technicians deal with the same set of keys(although many ) they often have a spare assortment in case of a customer that comes in for service with a missing key.

Good luck my friend.

check the trunk lift up the trunk mat. Mine was at where the spare tire was stored.

Does anyone have a pic of what it shud look like I just checked the whole spare tire are and didn't find it. Maybe I overlooked it.

All the ones I have seen have just been an extension that will go over the end of the tire iron, generally about an inch long or so.

I put mines on the passenger side of the spare tire cover foam thing right next to the wheel socket opener thing.

i dont think i got one? the wheel lock is a additional accessory item?

It is, usually they come with new cars. if one of your 5 lug nuts if different from all the others then you have a lock lug .

Yeah, because wheel thiefs never ever have they keys to the wheel locks...

call toyota and give them your vin they can make you another they have all of this in the system... my buddy has had to order 3 keys because he lost them... also check all of your paper work there should be some literature about the wheel locks with a serial on it this will make the process much easier.

A can of liquid nitrogen and a hammer = universal key.
