This did work on my 2006 Sienna, but it took several tries to get the programming mode on. I think it worked finally because, as shown in this video, I only opened the door enough to let the door ding only once each time I opened it. And I opened and closed it fairly quickly, as shown in this video. Bravo! Great instructions!! Many thanks!!
To get into programming mode you must do the first two steps in 35 seconds. Then take the key out within 10 before sticking in new key and waiting for light out.
Thank you! I bought an after-market key on eBay but the instructions were as clear as muddy water. My car is a Toyota Corolla Ascent sedan 2007 ZRE-152 (Australia). I didn't find your website describing the procedure. Your warning not to cut the key first is important but in my case, I cut it first - I was able to succeed with your procedure luckily. Your second good point is how to identify the master key and use it for programming. Your best point was how to know that you have brought the car into key programming mode - the security light staying on once the master key was withdrawn. I'm so grateful to have found your crystal clear procedure - I spend a day opening and closing my door trying the eBay procedure and others I found online. Luckily I found your excellent method - worked the first time! I'm impressed 🙂
Worked perfectly the first time on my 2005 Toyota Matrix! $12 bucks total for new key off Amazon and local hardware store to cut the key. I would definitely try this first before spending $80 at the dealer! Thanks, DIY-time!
My 2005 Toyota Corolla(without automatic locks) key is bending really bad so I bought 2 keys with chips in the online for $14 and I got them cut at farm and fleet for free and I followed these steps and it worked perfectly. I just saved like $90 per key. Dealerships charge so much for replacements. Thank you for this video!
Thanks! This worked like a charm on my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - I bought a transponder key online for $6, took it to my local Walmart, and they cut the new key for free! Total WIN!!!
2005 Matrix , $16 blank on EBay , $4 to cut key , Programming key for free with these instructions . Success . Instructions worked great . Lock smiths want $65-75 for this same job . Thanks for a clear instructional video .
I used your procedure successfully on a 2005 Sienna XLE Limited. I got the key blank on Amazon from Keys2go for 7.99 plus tax. It had the dot on the key stem. Home Depot cut the key for free. They used a big Hillman automated key making machine. They must have their own key blank to provide a bar code to program the key making machine. There are procedures on UA-cam to program the key fob as well. Thanks for providing an excellent video! I have only used this key twice so I can’t comment on its longevity.
Worked on my 2004 Highlander. Bought a combo key from Bay and had it cut by a local HW store. The person helping me said there was no charge but I gave him a nice tip. Even though everything worked out for me your advice to program the key BEFORE cutting makes lots of sense. Programming didn't work on the first attempt and I got a little concerned. Let me know you read this and I'll send a tip your way as well!!$
For my 2004 sequoia this definitely worked .. Update. I tried one more time and it worked using the sequence below. This time, when turning the programmed key back and forth to off and on, I did it really fast. I also inserted the new key really fast. I think that’s what did the trick. You have to do it really fast with Sequoia. That’s what my locksmith told me. He was right. 1) Close all doors 2) Insert your Master key (black) int the key cylinder 3) Turn the ignition from Lock to On 5 times within 15 seconds - on the 5th time, leave the key in the ON position 4) Open and close the driver’s door 6 times within 20 seconds 5) Turn the Master key back to Lock and remove 6) Insert the new blank key and turn to ON position 7) Leave in ON position for at least 60 seconds (while the key registers with the vehicle) 8) After 60+ seconds, remove the key. 9) Open then Close the driver’s door to end the process”
Worked great in a 2007 Highlander, thanks for the clear instructions. Locksmith didn't believe me when he cut the blank that it was possible to program the key transponder without a specific programming device
Ha ha.. 😂 I just had the same experience.. Key lock place said they would have to program each key for $45.. I told them that I could do it myself.. they didn't believe me and wished me luck.. and said, "Come back when it doesn't work "
To get into programming mode you must do the first two steps in 35 seconds. Then take the key out within 10 before sticking in new key and waiting for light out.
This procedure works on Toyota Camry 2006 LE 4 Cylinder. It did not work for me after three tries, because I opened and closed the door too slow. I read one of the previous comments about open and close the car door just like on this video, and tried again, it works. You need to open and close the driver door a little fast, just like the video.
Video workes perfectly, watched all other videos and tried other instructions buy they all say to turn thr new key to on position, that doesnt work for sienna 09
Worked easily on my 2004 Camry XLE, even thou the locksmith who cut my new key said "You- tube' would not work" AND the fine print from ebay seller, said key was NOT 'self' programmable- It's a ''chip type 4D67'' Many THANKS
2005 Toyota Matrix. Worked!!!!! Thank you. Ordered blank oem key online for 12$ for two keys took it to homedepot they cut it for free because they told me they couldn't program it unless I bought their 80$ key.
+dave s Awesome! Once I also got my 4Runner keys cut for free at my local hardware store. Because I brought my own keys, they didn't charge me anything.
Alhamdulillah! About the 10th time I tried it it worked! 💕💕💕 This single mom thanks you a million. Never use paracord as a key chain! Mine got wrapped around my steering column and bent my key this morning almost in a 90° angle. Yikes!!! Needless to say my original intention was to go on Amazon months ago and get spare keys and program them myself. But because of the possible emergency situation not wanting my key to break off in my ignition. I went to the dealership today verified my ownership them, bought the key only and have them cut it by the VIN number (because that bent key definitely was not fitting into a tracer key machine to copy it) and told him I'd be back if I couldn't program it myself. Getting the key today costing me $45 but I saved $155 "programming fee" plus most importantly I saved hours of time wasted on a Saturday day off not having to wait, in a dealership . Now I will be getting the rest of my spare keys on Amazon as well as getting the key fob which itself at the dealership cost over $130 plus the programming fee. Again a million thanks.
Is this new copy also now a master key? Or is it a slave/valet key? Could you theoretically use this new copy to program other keys in the future if needed say in the case you lost the original master key?
Hi! I have a problem with my 2005 camry. When I push the unlock key it unlock the door, get 2 beeps and a flashing light. But, when I push the lock button I don't get anything except the doors get locked , no beep no flashing light and the headlight don't go off even after I hit it twice. Can someone help me fix this issue i'd appreciate it.
Make sure you are using master key to enter programming mode. Make sure you have correct chip as well (same as on your master key). Or your new key may be defective.
@@DIYtimeTRD or you car has reached the maximum amount of keys to program and you have to have to hack into the cars ECU to remove lost programmed keys
Thank you, This was a big help ! I have a 03 4Runner v8 4.7 chip is bottom right side OEM key at toyota is $ 37.00 programming is $ 170.00 I'll just have the key cut and do the rest my self ! Thanks

2006 Toyota Sequoia I didn't follow this video. But there is a link for additional information on the website. It included instructions for 2003-2007 toyota Sequoia. I followed method 2, but also the additional note(by jonathan eliff) after that is important the sequoia is closed and locked, use fob to unlock while in vehicle. security light will remain off when in programming mode. Took 3 tries to enter programming mode, but the $13(+$2 to get it cut at local lock smith) oem key i bought on ebay worked perfect! Thanks so much for your information
Fantastic and thanks do much for this! My locksmith wanted to charge be $120 AUD to supply and program a key. Thanks to you I will have money left over for Xmas presents this year.
Thanks so much for this video! Worked on a key I had cut for my 2005 Toyota 4Runner. Very clear instructions and worked on the first try. Saved myself $125 they charge at the dealership! Thanks again!
Thank you so much, this video saved me $240 , I bought a key from Toyota blank one $32, which they were going to charge me $299 to cut and programme it. but I got it cut for $15 and programmed it myself. Total cost was $47. Make sure you follow the steps, also go on their website read the steps before you do it, test out if you can start the programming mode with your key first before you go to buy the key. it worked for my 2005 toyota Kluger Japanese import. (YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WORKING KEY TO MAKE THIS WORK.)
Does the 2004 Toyota Sienna LE have the programing feature? I've tried the sequence several times and haven't been able to get the security light to stay on after opening and closing the door 6 times. I pull the master key out and the security light just goes out and doesn't stay on. My master key has a dot as does the uncut, unprogramed transponder key.
Worked great for my 2004 Sienna LE. Excellent clear instructions especially from a Russian guy (no offense) ;) Now I will buy more keys from your link as a token of my appreciation.
I have made a copy of my transponder key for a 2010 Toyota Camry. How are these keys powered? Are they powered once they are inserted in the ignition ? I noticed that you can't put a battery in them because they are sealed. If you can't start your car with these keys is the circuit in them pretty much dead?
That chip doesn’t have a battery. It has a code on it thats being read when you insert the key into ignition. Kinda like RFID chips when you buy clothes in the mall. If the code is correct, the ECU will allow the engine start.
I bought a corolla 1999 model and they gave me 2 black keys but none of them have the dot mark on the blade ....is that means none of these key are master key ? ..and they just genuine Toyota key copies?......
So if I bought a new preprogrammed ecu, I can reset my original key this way or do I have to get a new one? They were supposed to give me a new key but they didn't. Can I just buy new one and do this or use the original key?
2008 FJ Cruiser, I did the test to confirm my current key disables security, but it will not enter programming mode, tried it a dozen times.... The only key I have is gray not black, does that mean it is a valet key? or is just that there are already too many keys programmed in the ecu and I wont be able to add my new key until the others are removed?
I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma pre runner 4.0 v6 I’ve tried the 5x key insert and opened and shut the driver side door 6 times but I can’t seem to get the ignition into programming mode any advice would be appreciated thanks!
I have a 2008 Solera SLE with one key & remote/fob. There is a UA-cam to program a new remote/fob and that worked just like its video. However, I can't get the security light to say on after finishing the key/door sequence. I assume that means the key that I got with the car isn't the "Master Key"?
This actually seems to be the case. So I have to go to Toyota buy keys, they kick out any/all keys from the car's system. Then add them in. Ouch. But can't be living with a non-master key and only one key for the car. ~80 dollars for two keys (if they can't recover my current Valet key) and then ~230 labor (that for a hour of work).
I follow your steps for key insertion n out. Door open n close. But the security light won't lit up consistently. Still blinks at all 60-120 sec. So any other tips?
Hello! Thank you for your video, unfortunately I followed the process several times 2011 toyota corolla. I have the master key, but not able to get it into the programming mode (solid red) any suggestions? Thanks!
I purchased my 2009 Corolla with just one chip key. Does that mean I have to purchase a master key ? Would that master key be a fob type key? Where would you suggest buying one if that's the case.
Hi! I replaced the battery on my 1995 Toyota Celica and now it cranks, but it won't start. It's probably the anti theft or immobilizer. Any Idea how to bypass it with just the physical key? Thanks!
Any help on a 2004 tundra sr5? Questions: Where to find proper key. Will this method work in my truck? It only came with one key looks after market with no markings/dot. It also came with keyless remote. Also I don’t have security light. Thank you.
Awesome work, Sir! Thank you very much! I am NOT going to pay someone $150 to 'program' my key! I knew there had to be an easier way! I'll bet you have you don't have to open and close the whole door though. I will try it with just pushing the little button the door pushes when it closes and let you know if it works. Just easier to not have to open and close the whole door. Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
I misplaced my original Toyota key. I have my copy that works just fine, but I need to make a copy of the copy. Will the new spare program if I use the spare copy to start off with?
As far as I know, it won't work. But if I was you, I would still give it a try. Buy not expensive kay and try to program it first. DO NOT KUT THE KEY!!! If it programs - great, if not - you can still return key since it wasn't cut.
This worked perfectly on my 2004 toyota highlander on the first try. Thanks! Saved me $75. from dealer program. The key cost me $24. for the chipped key with cutting. I would have had to make an appointment and go back for programming. Another video did not work for me that involved pressing the brake and gas pedal without opening the door. This one did the trick!
Hi! I bought the ignition switch cylinder and compatible key with it on eBay. Since my old one went bad. Would this programming procedure works for changed ignition as well? Please advise!! Thank you~~
Yay, 2005 corolla works great. Took two tries because the first time I waited a bit too long to insert the new key. Be sure to get the new key in while the security light is still lit solid.
How do you program multiple keys? Like I want 4 all together. Once the first one is programed insert the other key that needs programed, or do I have to do the full sequence again?
I need your help for 2012 Toyota Corolla Axio. It's used from Japan but only came with one key. Is the procedure for cutting and programming a new key the same as this video?
Hey I purchased an original Toyota key for my 2011 Tundra. I followed the steps as described in your video but it didn't work. Is there a special step for the Tundra?
Thank you for making this video! It helps most of us not get ripped off by the locksmiths and Dealership's! Remember also that when you buy a use car from Dealership make Shure to tell them to give you a set of keys not just one set! They can make it for you right on the spot!! They let them BS you that they only can give you one set!! They just want you to return to them so that you paid them about $500.00 for the other key! Don't be a sucker!

I tried a couple of other procedures that did not work on my 2004 Highlander. This procedure worked like a charm.
Outstanding job! It took me 4 attempts but I finally got it into program mode. I have a 2008 Toyota 4runner.

Does the new key become a master key? Like could I make another key out of it?
Worked great for my 2004 Sienna LE. Excellent clear instructions especially from a Russian guy (no offense) ;)
Now I will buy more keys from your link as a token of my appreciation.
😁 Awesome, thanks!
I have made a copy of my transponder key for a 2010 Toyota Camry. How are these keys powered? Are they powered once they are inserted in the ignition ? I noticed that you can't put a battery in them because they are sealed. If you can't start your car with these keys is the circuit in them pretty much dead?
That chip doesn’t have a battery. It has a code on it thats being read when you insert the key into ignition. Kinda like RFID chips when you buy clothes in the mall. If the code is correct, the ECU will allow the engine start.
I bought a corolla 1999 model and they gave me 2 black keys but none of them have the dot mark on the blade ....is that means none of these key are master key ? ..and they just genuine Toyota key copies?......
Help! I have a Corolla 2010 and did exactly what the video instructed but couldn’t get a solid red light after many many tries. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you this really worked i just programed a 2005 toyota corolla xrs and the key.is now fully programed and works beautifully thank you
Awesome!
So if I bought a new preprogrammed ecu, I can reset my original key this way or do I have to get a new one? They were supposed to give me a new key but they didn't. Can I just buy new one and do this or use the original key?
is it possible to have a defective replacement key that will not program? If so, what are any indications of this defect?
This worked for 2008 Rav4! I'm not sure this base model has a security light, but it still worked waiting 60 seconds.
Thank you for sharing!
I have a Toyota Yaris 2010 I have the master key and a key with transponder and blade cut will this method work thanks
2008 FJ Cruiser, I did the test to confirm my current key disables security, but it will not enter programming mode, tried it a dozen times.... The only key I have is gray not black, does that mean it is a valet key? or is just that there are already too many keys programmed in the ecu and I wont be able to add my new key until the others are removed?
Usually grey Toyota keys are valet keys.
I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma pre runner 4.0 v6 I’ve tried the 5x key insert and opened and shut the driver side door 6 times but I can’t seem to get the ignition into programming mode any advice would be appreciated thanks!
Thanks man you just saved me $135.
My pleasure!
I have a 2008 Solera SLE with one key & remote/fob. There is a UA-cam to program a new remote/fob and that worked just like its video. However, I can't get the security light to say on after finishing the key/door sequence. I assume that means the key that I got with the car isn't the "Master Key"?
This actually seems to be the case. So I have to go to Toyota buy keys, they kick out any/all keys from the car's system. Then add them in. Ouch. But can't be living with a non-master key and only one key for the car. ~80 dollars for two keys (if they can't recover my current Valet key) and then ~230 labor (that for a hour of work).
I follow your steps for key insertion n out. Door open n close. But the security light won't lit up consistently. Still blinks at all 60-120 sec. So any other tips?
Hello! Thank you for your video, unfortunately I followed the process several times 2011 toyota corolla. I have the master key, but not able to get it into the programming mode (solid red) any suggestions? Thanks!
I dont know what chip is the toyota agya/wigo. Can you tell me my friend. Which is it.. and if it is working the program on my toyota
I believe it has 4D67 chip.
I purchased my 2009 Corolla with just one chip key. Does that mean I have to purchase a master key ? Would that master key be a fob type key? Where would you suggest buying one if that's the case.
This self-programming technique doesn't work on your car.
You may have to contact dealer or Lock Smith to make a spare key.
I subscribed because of your help programing the 2005 toyota corolla xrs key earlier
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it!
Where to get the key for corolla?
Worked on 2006 convertable solara. Took longer then a minute but it worked.
Worked perfectly for my 2005 Sienna
Hi! I replaced the battery on my 1995 Toyota Celica and now it cranks, but it won't start. It's probably the anti theft or immobilizer. Any Idea how to bypass it with just the physical key? Thanks!
Any help on a 2004 tundra sr5? Questions: Where to find proper key. Will this method work in my truck? It only came with one key looks after market with no markings/dot. It also came with keyless remote. Also I don’t have security light. Thank you.
@DIY-time My car was stolen recently, can I do this with a new ignition system or do I need one transponder key working
This procedure worked for my 2008 scion tc, thank you so much!!!!
do i need to rent equipment for a Toyota Corolla 2013.
Yes, newer cars require using Techstream software for programming keys.
Worked smoothly on my 07 Toyota 4Runner
👍🏻
I don't have a dot on my original key, does this mean I cannot use this method.
No, it should still work, as long as your car has self-programming feature.
Awesome work, Sir! Thank you very much! I am NOT going to pay someone $150 to 'program' my key! I knew there had to be an easier way!
I'll bet you have you don't have to open and close the whole door though. I will try it with just pushing the little button the door pushes when it closes and let you know if it works. Just easier to not have to open and close the whole door.
Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, you too! 🎁 🎄
Come on rick ,share the results man. Tips? Lol suspense sucks
Why are you so so so f__king lazy let the flies out of your car.
Great simple instructions, and it works. 2004 Highlander limited
I misplaced my original Toyota key. I have my copy that works just fine, but I need to make a copy of the copy. Will the new spare program if I use the spare copy to start off with?
As far as I know, it won't work.
But if I was you, I would still give it a try.
Buy not expensive kay and try to program it first. DO NOT KUT THE KEY!!!
If it programs - great, if not - you can still return key since it wasn't cut.
This worked perfectly on my 2004 toyota highlander on the first try. Thanks! Saved me $75. from dealer program. The key cost me $24. for the chipped key with cutting. I would have had to make an appointment and go back for programming. Another video did not work for me that involved pressing the brake and gas pedal without opening the door. This one did the trick!
Thats great, thanks for sharing!
Hi! I bought the ignition switch cylinder and compatible key with it on eBay. Since my old one went bad. Would this programming procedure works for changed ignition as well? Please advise!! Thank you~~
It worked for my 2004 Toyota Sienna. Thanks a lot.
Yay, 2005 corolla works great. Took two tries because the first time I waited a bit too long to insert the new key. Be sure to get the new key in while the security light is still lit solid.
I can't even get the security light to light solid.
@@njsongwritersame on my highlander 2007😢
How do you program multiple keys? Like I want 4 all together. Once the first one is programed insert the other key that needs programed, or do I have to do the full sequence again?
Will it work with toyota iq 2009.i have a mini meyer tool clone machine and transonder chips
Will this work on a 2014 Corolla S it also has door lock function on the key?
I have the dot as well but I can't find a blank for it. Any suggestions?
2007 Sienna : worked like a charm! Thank you!
I need your help for 2012 Toyota Corolla Axio. It's used from Japan but only came with one key. Is the procedure for cutting and programming a new key the same as this video?
Try to enter programming mode and see if it works. You can do it even without a new key.
Hey I purchased an original Toyota key for my 2011 Tundra. I followed the steps as described in your video but it didn't work. Is there a special step for the Tundra?
This method doesn't work on your car. You have to use this: ua-cam.com/video/hXwjCyZ6jFw/v-deo.html
Thanks for your help!
2000 4runner? Will it work? I only have 1 key, but it broke half in the ignition switch. How will i be able to program?
worked for my 2004 4 runner SR5, saved me $200 thanks.
Brilliant is right, thanks so much, you just saved me $50
Tried this and the pedals method but security light does not stay solid. I'll try disconnecting battery for 5 minutes to reset ecu and try again.
EXCELLENT!! 2003 4RUNNER SPORT LIMITED
Thank you for making this video! It helps most of us not get ripped off by the locksmiths and Dealership's! Remember also that when you buy a use car from Dealership make Shure to tell them to give you a set of keys not just one set! They can make it for you right on the spot!! They let them BS you that they only can give you one set!! They just want you to return to them so that you paid them about $500.00 for the other key! Don't be a sucker!
Worked perfectly for 2 keys for my F.J. Cruiser, you are awesome.
Thank you! 😁
did not work for 2007 Sequoia. tried this a dozen times. are there any other places to look?
Sequoia is a bit different animal. Try these instructions instead: www.diy-time.com/automotive/toyota/toyota-sequoia-transponder-chip-key-programming/
