If you don't have the code, then just drive over to the parts department at the dealership. They can grab fifteen or so, take them outside, and try each one to find the right one.
I know, because I accidentally left mine on the bumper wing and drove off after switching tires once... Hey, happens to the best of us...

Re: quick question on wheel lock
I bought mine from one of the vendors here and hopefully have the code in my "uber-cool and equally nifty" manual case. I'd better check that.
When I bought my 05 Rubicon it only had four, so I ask the sales guy about it. He comes out with a new package of four and hands me one. I asked if my key would work, so he gives me the key from the new set as well. he says they always keep spares around. So when I get around to trying it, they are the same and both keys work.. Ron

All wheel lock sets come with a code. I hope you have it written down. If you do, you can give the dealer the code and they can get you a new key.

Rapper standing on the corner, wrappers flying in the wind... And in my quite reflection, I wonder why..
The service dept. doesn't use your wheel lock key when they rotate the tires- they have a set of 6 or so wheel lock sockets from which they pick out the one that matches your set.
When I complained about paying $40 for my "5-piece" wheel lock set and getting 4 locks and a socket.... the service dept. manager went into a box of spare locks they had lying around and gave me a 5th lock that matched my pattern and I could use on my spare tire.
So- they should be able to match up your set and find out which code it is.

Ditto on the service dept. I'd suggest getting some gorilla lug locks. Way better design and alot more variations than the toyota ones, I actually found a perfect match for mine on the generic lug lock packs at pep boys.
