Hi. I have a 2021 Sienna XLE and I locked the keys inside the car with the spare and I have the spare with me at work and my wife is home. I didn’t even think you could do that. Anyway, how do I open them??

True, yours is an LE? OP mentioned they have an XLE so it should have remote unlock.

I have a LE Plus and I do have the app-based remote lock-, unlock- and start function. I don't think it depends on the trim, but rather on your subscription to Toyota Connect or whatever this service is called.
Wow, I don't know how to tackle this, apart from perhaps calling Mother Toyota?, and I marvel how the key could have gotten locked inside - I tried doing it on purpose and the car wouldn't let me do it (until I placed the key inside a makeshift Faraday pouch).
If you find a solution to this situation, please let everyone know.

MaxAmillion - if you still need help. Go online http://https://www.toyota.com/owners/ And see if you can add your vehicle to "connect services" (so the toyota app will work on your XLE like mine). Also, call Toyota - perhaps they can unlock it remotely (over the phone). Or call your toyota dealership - they might be able to help.
And I have the opposite problem, sorta: My wife often wants to sit in the car with the A/C running while I go get something from a store (yeah, global warming and all that--she's not mobile and doesn't get out much, this is like a couple of times a summer). I have to:
- run the driver's window down
- close the door
- manually hit the LOCK button
- hit the auto-up on the window
- <go to store>
- <on return> fumble the emergency key out of the fob without dropping what I bought
- unlock the door

the LE without the LE plus package supposedly won't work for remote unlock/lock, but mine is an LE, and I had/have the remote lock/unlock working just fine in my app. We know from experience that their excuse of the cell module not being there is BS since my dealer called me and was able to tell my exact mileage at the start of the day they called, and they have done this to others as well.

Any reason you don’t just close the door and lock it with the manual blade key when you exit? I don’t understand why you’re trying to James Bond the automatic window

Don’t know you could do that unless you manually slide the door lock and close the door while holding the door latch
This I gotta see if it works!!

Did this radio show just so happen to air on April 1?
I guess I'm an idiot because I cant understand this. I have gen 3 not 4, but I thought all gen 4's have keyless, push to start, same as my wife's 2021 Rav. So how can you lock the keys inside in the first place?
And why hasnt the OP come back to say how he got in? Its been 3 days so I'm thinking he got in by now.

Yeah, can't quite get my head around it.
I'll have to try if can manually lock driver's door once exiting vehicle... BUT why would you do that unless want to lock in keys which I gather no one wants??
Just for fun I tried it with my wife's Rav since its also keyless. Basically I cant make it lock with the fob inside. Every time I tried I got the long beep, like when you hit lock with the door open. Even manually hit lock and closed the door. Got the long beep then the doors all unlocked.
shrug Sure, I could do that, but it's the easy part--doesn't require fumbling with the blade key. Remember that this is typically me running in to get her some lunch, so I'm empty-handed at the lock stage. It's getting back in that's irritating!
Toyota app has a 2.2 star rating. Did someone say this costs money?
