It would have to be driven to the new location, if it was towed, the vehicle location won't update.

Unless they chop it for parts, they'll clone a fob, and I assume the location would update.

This thread is such a bummer for @ArnoldN. I really hope you find out who did this. If you can't get your truck back, hopefully the insurance company will help make you whole again. It's still super terrible but hopefully you come out of this positively on the other end.

True, I am wrong on it being towed. Maybe they have a way of defeating the Toyota GPS when they get in with the cloned fob.

Crazy that people will go to these lengths to steal an insured vehicle with a small parts market. If Toyota fixed their security loophole, I'm confident 4Gs would not be a high priority target. I think its just any modern Toyota that is getting stolen, regardless of the model.

Anyone know if the digital key on your phone’s Toyota App can be relay attacked or cloned as easily as these fobs?

God I hope not - I would think it's secure/encrypted

My 22 pro ended up in one piece in a car auction in cleveland.. I figured it would be in mexico so I was confused how they sold it
