Wireless door lock vs keyless entry - Toyota Yaris Forums

Now that I think about it, since it does not have any of the FCC info on it maybe it does need to be "programed" by the dealer. I am thinking I would be better off buying a used key and swapping the electronics into a new shell.

The lack of FCC info only means that it is likely a poor quality Chinese clone (as anything sold in the US that transmits RF has to have its FCC ID).

I think you are correct with the used key route.

sroberts: I'm in a similar situation. What did you end up doing to get the keyless remote to work? Thanks.

Crap. I should have known. My 2007 key fob won't program, either. Nothing like a good pain in the butt.
