Add remote to factory keyless. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks "imknotright"

My wife just lost her one key she got from the dealer last October

! Anyway Toyota wants $300 to replace/reprogram ONE key. I called the guys at Keyless ride and they said the 2006 Scion key may or may not work. They said I could try to program it without cutting it, if it doesn't work, I can return it for a full refund. So I ordered the key and should have it by next week.

As far as the programming goes, do I have to cut the key to program it? Or can I use the regular key to turn the ignition on/off during the programming sequence? Thanks in advance!

Hi mmslot let me know if it works, because I wanna add a remote to my keyless entry aswell. I was going to wait till the end of Jan. for keylessrides 07 remotes to come out, but if the Scion remote works for you I might go that route. Thanks MrMondayNite

IT WORKS!!!

The key from Keyless Ride for the 2006 Scion works fine. Just make sure you do not have the imobilizer chip option for the sedan. I used the procedure imknotright started this post with! Thank you imknotright! I saved $200!!!

Glad to see it worked for you. I do not know what the hell Toyota was thinking charging $300 for a key.

Also, I never saw an answer to this question. I am doing the programming from the regular silver key, as the remote key has not been cut yet. Does the programming have to be done from the actual remote key?
Thanks!
