Keyless entry seems unnecessary. I’ve been using a physical key forever and never thought, ‘Wow, I wish I could do even less to start my car.’

FOBs are great when your hands are full or when you have multiple people getting in and don’t want to unlock each door manually.
My 2019 Tacoma SR has radar cruise control, lane departure warning, heated mirrors, and power locks.
You know what it doesn’t have? An intermittent wiper setting.

You can swap the wiper switch for one with intermittent settings. Plug-and-play for all base Tacomas.

I should probably just order one. It’s not a hard fix, but I’m still salty Toyota didn’t include it in the first place.
I prefer physical keys over key fobs. If I lose my key, I can get a cheap replacement instead of dealing with dealership programming. Plus, keyless fobs can be hacked.

My older Toyota has both a key and a fob, which is a good balance.

The downside is that cars with basic physical keys, like some Hyundais and Kias, are much easier to steal.

This Corolla key still has an immobilizer chip, so it’s not as vulnerable as those base-model Kias.
