Worked for me too and took 2minutes!

Good stuff, glad to see so many benefiting from this procedure!
I don't have keyless:)

Hi,

I just bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris liftback...

I have a remote car starter but the lock/unlock function doesn't work. It makes the lights flash but it doesn't unlock the doors.

I have tried to reprogram it by following CTScott's post, but the doors dont lock/unlock at the end of the procedure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Do you have a separate remote for the remote starter and the genuine Toyota keyless entry remote?

I have only one remote and it's not a genuine Toyota keyless entry remote (FCC ID : EZSNAH1501).

Do you think they could have only installed the remote car starter and "forgot" or purposely decided not to install the lock/unlock feature? Cuz when I press on that button it makes the car lights flash instead of locking/unlocking the doors.

First off, if it is not a genuine Toyota remote, the procedure above would never work.

It is very possible/likely that they did not hook up the lock/unlock. Does your car have power locks?

Exactly same as bee_ha happened to my Vitz 2005,I thought it was thd battery though lights were glowing on remote, battery arrived today but no luck,searched and found this thread, followed the re write procedure posted by CTScott and it worked!! Thanks a lot. Can anyone tell md why this happened? There must be a reason and also if someone can explain the meaning of other modes in the reset procedure CONFIRMATION & PROHIBITION. Thankssss

Thank you CTScott, you helped me fix my keyless entry! More power!

impauler · 08-11-2012, 07:15 PM

Remote randomly stopped working--- now fixed. Thank you CTScott!!

The dealership told me the transmitter was broken after a quick test and battery change. They quoted me $200 for a new transmitter, and $100 to "reprogram" it.. $300 fix..

I printed off your instructions and 90 seconds later, working perfectly again!

Huge money saver

We have a keyless 1.3 T Spirt (UK) and the door locking cycles about 5 times before it will unlock the door. also the offside rear door won't unlock at all. I assume this may be conected

Any ideas please

Sounds like you have some mechanical issues with that rear lock. Replacing or unbinding it will likely solve the cycling issue as well.

All, read each post about this situation.

We just bought a 2010 Yaris. It came with two regular keys. Noticed a flashing red light on the dash board. It looked to me like it's for an alarm.

My key, I believe the manual says is called a Type B (Non-Keyless). Anyone know where I can get the proper Keyless Keys and/or how to verify I have a keyless system.

We do have power windows and locks. Also noticed that I have a Tach. Read on another post that this was as issue. Is it only for older Yaris'?

Thank you in advance. Hoping I can add the Keyless system to our car at the lowest price possible.

The flashing light is the engine immobilizer (which is the system with the RFID transponder in the key).

You can check with a Toyota dealership (or PM me your VIN) to see if the car was built with the keyless entry. Chances are that it was not, since you received normal keys. Upgrading a non-keyless one with OEM parts is crazy expensive (over $300 just for the parts required). Your best bet, if it doesn't have keyless, is to add an aftermarket keyless entry system. The one that I installed on my 09 (which had power, but not keyless) was less than $70 and is also remote start.

screenprintr · 11-10-2012, 11:08 AM

Thank you Scott.

What do you mean by, your Aftermarket had Power, but no keyless? What is the brand name.

I'm at work now, but will check the VIN after work and send it to you. Thank you for your help.

Scott, it is possible to order an oem keyless for 300? If so, i am so going for it.

It actually would be quite a bit more than that. I recently acquired an OEM keyless entry receiver to experiment with and found that besides it, the Body ECU has to be replaced with one that supports keyless entry (and the body ECU is within the under dash fuse panel).

Hmmm... sounds like the whole nine yards to me that has to be replaced.
