'09 Corolla KeyFOB, keyless entry programming Question
Hey everybody,
I just purchased a 2009 Corolla LE "demonstrator" from the pre-owned lot at my local Toyota dealer. They only had one aftermarket (Ingenuity) key on-site and it was NOT the type with the remote built in. Remote keyless entry is a godsend as I often have my hands full of kids and/or work items. I did check the VIN with the service department to make sure it had the factory keyless system installed, which it does. I was able to obtain a blank OEM 4-button key/remote and have it cut and "synced" so that it starts the car without a problem (for significantly less than what the dealer wanted). However, I can't for the life of me get the remote part programmed! I have followed the procedures time after time with the same result (I know, definition of insanity). I put a new battery in the remote... no luck. As I cycle through the procedure (insert/remove key 2x, open/close door 2x, etc) everything works as it should, but when I get to the step where I have to "press and hold lock AND unlock buttons for 1.5 seconds, then within 3 seconds, press and release the lock button" NOTHING happens. Am I missing something or is this a defective key?? Though this key wasn't as costly as the dealer's price, it certainly wasn't worth it if it's CRAP! Any help, insights, suggestions are welcomed. |

Make sure you aren't touching the brake pedal at all during programming.
