Close and open driver door two times in 40 sec.

Step 4

Insert the key and remove it again from ignition.

Step 5

Close and open driver door 2 times in 40 sec.

Step 6

Insert the key in ignition.

Step 7

Close the driver door.

Step 8

Turn the ignition to on (One step from Off - do not turn to crank engine. If engine is cranked accidently, start over at step 1. and back to lock in 1 second intervals. 1 time for add a new fob, 2 times to rewrite all fobs, 3 for confirmation of programming and 5 for prohibition of programming. (There is no “4").

Step 9

For add or rewrite mode within 40 sec of the confirmation, A. press “lock” and “unlock” buttons of the FOB at the same time between 1 and 1.5 seconds. B. within 3 sec press “Lock” button for more than 1 sec and release. C. If it’s correct, the power door lock will cycle once. If it’s wrong the door lock will cycle twice.

Programming is now complete - congratulations you’ve done it yourself and saved some money.

Tip

Buy replacement fobs on eBay - they can typically be purchased for $5-$20, which is less than half what a keyless entry fob costs at your Toyota dealer.

It’s stuff like this that makes me realize that I’m driving a computer and am screwed if something important breaks.

I often reprogram my TPMS (changing rims) and the steps are similar to above.

The thing is you’re driving a computer, you shouldn’t have to go through all this nonsense (at least on cars with an infotainment system). You should just be able to go into some menu and select “Pair fob”.

We’re talking about Ford’s Myfordtouch. I basically have to sacrifice a goat and recite an incantation for half an hour to pair a phone.

Yes, sad to say the open door + ignition on-off + locks etc. sequenced rigmarole is pretty standard for adding fobs and the like, and has been for some time, if not quite this many steps.

How to do it with a Mopar product:

1) Go to dealership

2) Open wallet

3) Empty wallet

4) Also empty savings account, 401k, piggy bank, and hand over first-born child

5) Receive new key

There is no other way.
