I know the Sienna, like many other Toyota models, only came with one key during COVID because of the chip shortage. Is this still the case for the 2025 model year?
We got 2 keys
I got 2 when I picked up my 2025
Got my 24 back in July. Still waiting for the 2nd fob

How does a car get delivered with only 1 fob?

They give you 1 fob and 1 spare key, like the little key insert that can be pulled out of a fob

A lot of Toyota vehicles had their electronic key fobs supply constrained because of specific chip supply problems during and after the pandemic. Chip makers who made the remote’s chips using much older and cheaper technology (45nm and 32nm) switched to other chip products when Automakers had shut down production for 3-9 months. But when auto and key fob demand rebounded sharply, chip supply did not come back because chip makers had pivoted to other more lucrative chip products and chip processes. Seems crazy that we are at 2 years post chip issues and still have supply problems, but automakers are still driven by keeping costs as low as possible mentality. I got a 2023 Sienna in Feb 2023 and didn’t get our second key FOB till April 2024 after being promised fall 2023. Most automakers are resisting allowing Android Auto and Apple Car Play to also be electronic keys, which is another easy option in my opinion.

Makes sense. It’s wild how long the delays were

I messaged my sales guy today and he said to call the parts and service department and they can look into a timeline for me

We got our Sienna in April and got the alert for the second fob a few weeks ago, so hopefully soon for you
I also got two keys with the 2025, no wait
You get 2 key fobs, but the 2nd fob usually takes 4+ months to receive
