Yaris 2008 starting problem - Toyota Yaris Forums

I had similar behavior... car did not start at first try, but it did start on second try.
Turned out that a fancy sticker I put close to the ignition slot actually contained some alluminium foil in it which for some reason confused the immobilizer. Everything went back to normal once I removed the sticker.

Wow, I bet you were glad to figure that out. I can imagine how much time I would have wasted and never figured that out. haha.
