Gday all,
Im new to this forum and wanted to share this with you, not sure if im posting in the correct place so please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I recently purchased an 06 diesel hilux that only came with one key. After a ludicrous quote from Toyota for a spare key with remote, i naturally looked at other options, i found this on ebay:
"http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170669927917"
anyway, I took a chance on it, turns out luck was on my side... it worked!
This is how i programed it, it looks more complicated than it is, and if you follow the instructions i cant see why it wouldn't work for you as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To program the remote on the key to the car so you can Lock/Unklock, follow these steps:
Start with the key out of the ignition. Open the driver door (all other
doors are closed). Driver door is unlocked (other doors don’t matter).
1.
Perform these 2. steps within 5 seconds
a. Insert the key into the ignition (don’t turn it) Pull key out
b. Insert the key into the ignition (don’t turn it) Pull key out
3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds
a. Close, then open the drivers door.
b. Close, then open the drivers door.
c. Insert the key into the ignition (don’t turn it) and pull it out.
4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds
a. Close, then open the drivers door.
b. Close, then open the drivers door.
c. Insert the key into the ignition and leave in the ignition.
Close the drivers door
Turn the ignition to ON (as far as you can go without cranking the
engine), then back to off once (this enters add mode)
d.
e. Remove the key from the ignition.
5.
Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should lock then unlock
automatically indicating successful entry into programming mode.
Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.
6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds
Press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter
simultaneously for 1.5 seconds
a.
Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons, press
the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds,
the door locks should lock then unlock once indicating successful
programming. If the door locks cycle twice, repeat steps 6
as the remote was not accepted.
7. Open drivers door
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration of additional key (adding the key to the ECU so car will start)
1. Ensure doors are closed and no key is inserted in secto the ignition key cylinder.
2. Insert the already registered master key into the ignition key cylinder.
3. Remove and insert the master key 4 times.
4. Open and Close the driver's door 6 times.
5. Remove the master key.
Step 3~5 must be done within 35 sec.
6. Insert the key to be registered into the ignition key cylinder within 10 sec.
7. Leave key in ignition After 60 sec, the key is registered.
I did this method fairly quickly and it worked fine on the second go, i now have three working keys.
Hope this info can save someone some money, not worth the risk owning one key when you can get a working key with remote for $65 delivered.
