I use a non smart key to unlock the steering wheel in my 2015 Toyota when towing..I was told by someone the other day that this will cause big problems with my Toyota computer..I did the same thing with my 2013 Toyota for a year with no adverse effects..Do es anyone kn ow if this is a problem? I will ask my Toyota expert tomorrow..Thanks..
Your Toyota "Xpurt" is misinformed about the use of a plain key.
You are aware that most Asian imports since 2009 model year do not require the key to be in the ACC position to unlock the steering. Try this:
1 insert key and turn to ON position
2 turn key to the OFF position
3 DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY
The steering will stay unlocked until the key is REMOVED from the ignition switch.
