I just got a keyless remote on e-bay. My old broke. But I do not know how to program it. I don't want to pay buck to the dealer when I know it should be easy to do. Anyone has the instructions? Please help

Do you have any idea what model your TVIP system is?

What's a TVIP system?

This may help, it's from a previous post.
1998 avalon Programming instructions for Toyota Avalon Remote with the following ID.

1. Open driver's door.
2. Insert and remove key from ignition.
3. Cycle power door locks on-off 5 times.
4. Close the door and open it again.
5. Cycle door locks 5 times again.
6. Insert the key and turn it to ON - OFF - ON - OFF and remove.
You will hear the locks cycle.
7. After that, press BOTH Lock and Unlock buttons of the remote together
at the same time, then push the one button with the bump on it. (Lock)
If the door locks cycle ONCE, you're done.
If they cycle twice, it didn't take..... Just push the buttons (Step 7) again.
If you wait too long between steps you'll have to start over again.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are ADDING a second remote you must repeat Step 7 on the other remote
right after the first remote is done so they both obtain the same code.

No, I don't know what TVIP my car has. How do I find out and is it necessary to know.? I am sure it is factory installed.

Sorry I haven't replied in quite a while, I've been tied up with an overhaul on a '97 Escort that's in pretty bad shape. But it does make a differece whether or not you know what TVIP system your car has, each different model has different programming "codes". The way for you to determine is to find out where your "brain" of the alarm is mounted, take it out and look, it should say right on the box. It's a little black box, usually mounted behind the dimmer switch panel, which can be pried away with a screwdriver.
