Programming The Original Key

[Morango]

Ive got a new Battery in my key as the other one has been flat for sometime.

I need to reprogramme the central locking, the car starts and runs on the key just wont lock or unlock. I have seen many proceedures for replacment keys but they havnt worked.

Nope not a sausage, it doesnt lock and unlock on its own, i have the master key and nothing happens...

Try the to lock car process and if done properly should work

[Morango]

I have done it over and over, changing the speed i do the steps and that and still dont get anything...

You might have to find someone who can programme it then as it should work :-(

When I bought a spare key for mine I almost kicked the dog with frustration. I did actually give up after trying so many times. I then found a guy who works for Toyota who said he would do it for £30. The day before he came I tried again and this time it worked. I don't know why, but I can only assume one part of the sequence was wrong, and somehow I managed to get it right.

It's the most frustrating thing I've ever done on a car, so I can understand how you feel. I think I'm right in saying that regardless of how many times you try you can't do any harm by wiping out info.

I think if all else fails, the advice to find someone to do it will save you so much hassle. I seem to remember that Lexus wanted a lot for a key, but not that much for programming.

I will speak to toyota see how much they want to do it for.

I am pretty certain i have the master key, there was a little advice saying that putting the master key in the ignition and the security light goes straight out, which it does. the spare key i have has mysteriously dissappeared.

Oh well

I know with mine I had the master key, but it's the only one it came with. I bought a spare from eBay for £25, and a blank for a couple of quid. I got it cut at a locksmith for about £8, so it was worth the hassle. I would have considered it a result if I'd paid someone to reprogram it as well.

Maybe someone can answer this. If a spare is programed from the master key, is it then possible to program another one by using the new spare, or does it always have to involve the original master?

[scudney]

Not too sure,there however should be no harm in giving it a try,it will either work or won't work

Ive tried everything 300 times and still nothing, is there anyway to reset the ecu or something?
