Thanks! This worked like a charm on my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - I bought a transponder key online for $6, took it to my local Walmart, and they cut the new key for free! Total WIN!!!

I wasn't aware that Walmart had the VIN codes for the keys ! That sounds scary !

I tried a couple of other procedures that did not work on my 2004 Highlander. This procedure worked like a charm.

Thanks so much for this video! Worked on a key I had cut for my 2005 Toyota 4Runner. Very clear instructions and worked on the first try. Saved myself $125 they charge at the dealership! Thanks again!

Thank you! I bought an after-market key on eBay but the instructions were as clear as muddy water. My car is a Toyota Corolla Ascent sedan 2007 ZRE-152 (Australia). I didn't find your website describing the procedure. Your warning not to cut the key first is important but in my case, I cut it first - I was able to succeed with your procedure luckily. Your second good point is how to identify the master key and use it for programming. Your best point was how to know that you have brought the car into key programming mode - the security light staying on once the master key was withdrawn. I'm so grateful to have found your crystal clear procedure - I spend a day opening and closing my door trying the eBay procedure and others I found online. Luckily I found your excellent method - worked the first time! I'm impressed 🙂

Outstanding job! It took me 4 attempts but I finally got it into program mode. I have a 2008 Toyota 4runner.

This did work on my 2006 Sienna, but it took several tries to get the programming mode on. I think it worked finally because, as shown in this video, I only opened the door enough to let the door ding only once each time I opened it. And I opened and closed it fairly quickly, as shown in this video. Bravo! Great instructions!! Many thanks!!

To get into programming mode you must do the first two steps in 35 seconds. Then take the key out within 10 before sticking in new key and waiting for light out.

Worked perfectly the first time on my 2005 Toyota Matrix! $12 bucks total for new key off Amazon and local hardware store to cut the key. I would definitely try this first before spending $80 at the dealer! Thanks, DIY-time!

They used a big Hillman automated key making machine. They must have their own key blank to provide a bar code to program the key making machine.

+dave s Awesome! Once I also got my 4Runner keys cut for free at my local hardware store. Because I brought my own keys, they didn't charge me anything.

For my 2004 sequoia this definitely worked .. Update. I tried one more time and it worked using the sequence below. This time, when turning the programmed key back and forth to off and on, I did it really fast. I also inserted the new key really fast. I think that’s what did the trick. You have to do it really fast with Sequoia. That’s what my locksmith told me. He was right. 1) Close all doors 2) Insert your Master key (black) int the key cylinder 3) Turn the ignition from Lock to On 5 times within 15 seconds - on the 5th time, leave the key in the ON position 4) Open and close the driver’s door 6 times within 20 seconds 5) Turn the Master key back to Lock and remove 6) Insert the new blank key and turn to ON position 7) Leave in ON position for at least 60 seconds (while the key registers with the vehicle) 8) After 60+ seconds, remove the key. 9) Open then Close the driver’s door to end the process”

Alhamdulillah! About the 10th time I tried it it worked! 💕💕💕 This single mom thanks you a million. Never use paracord as a key chain! Mine got wrapped around my steering column and bent my key this morning almost in a 90° angle. Yikes!!! Needless to say my original intention was to go on Amazon months ago and get spare keys and program them myself. But because of the possible emergency situation not wanting my key to break off in my ignition. I went to the dealership today verified my ownership them, bought the key only and have them cut it by the VIN number (because that bent key definitely was not fitting into a tracer key machine to copy it) and told him I'd be back if I couldn't program it myself. Getting the key today costing me $45 but I saved $155 "programming fee" plus most importantly I saved hours of time wasted on a Saturday day off not having to wait, in a dealership . Now I will be getting the rest of my spare keys on Amazon as well as getting the key fob which itself at the dealership cost over $130 plus the programming fee. Again a million thanks.
