How to program a Toyota key fob
Programming a keyless remote transmitter on a Toyota / Lexus vehicle with factory installed keyless entry and alarm.
This procedure should work on Toyota's made in the late 90's to the early 2000's, such as the Toyota Solara, Camry, Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, Sienna, Highlander and Avalon.
This procedure will not work on vehicles with a dealer installed remote, i.e. with a service button / LED on the driver side of the dash-board, such as those with the RS3000 / RS3200 system.
Programming the remote involves cycling the locks and ignition. If the vehicle does not enter programming mode or the locks fail to cycle, it could be a worn lock actuator. Try cycling the locks manually instead of using the power lock button switch on the door.

*** 2010+ model years require dealer programming (lock shops can probably do for less money). Also, I'm told that all Toyota Tundra & Highlanders require dealer programming for the keyless fob clicker remote.
