Wireless door lock vs keyless entry

[Dirk888]

I just purchased a 2007 Yaris 3D hatchback. It was not sold with keyless entry but when I check on http://www.epc-data.com/. based on the VIN, it says that it has wireless doorlock with a wireless receiver, OEM part # 89741-52240, does this mean that I can easily add keyless entry by buying a FOB & programming it? It has power door locks.

In theory it is that simple. You may want to look behind the panel just below the C pillar on the driver's side to verify that the receiver is really there.

So, "in theory" if the receiver is there, I could buy a Keyless Entry Remote Fob and follow this procedure to program it? (I know you can't make promises)

The driver’s door open and unlocked.
Key out of the ignition.
1. Insert and remove the key from the ignition switch 2 times within 5 seconds.

NOTE: Steps 2 and 3 should be performed within 40 seconds.

2. Close and open driver’s door TWICE.
3. Insert the key into the ignition and remove it.

NOTE: Steps 4 – 6 should be performed within 40 seconds.

4. Close and open the driver’s door twice.
5. Insert the key into the ignition.
6. Close the door.
7. Turn the ignition switch from “Lock” to “On” and back to “Lock” at about 1 second
intervals to select the desired mode:

-1 time for ADD mode.

-2 times for REWRITE mode.

-3 times for CONFIRMATION mode.

-5 times for PROHIBITION mode.

8. Remove the key from the ignition.
9. To confirm your mode selection, the power locks will now cycle “lock” to “unlock” a
number of times corresponding to your key cycles in step 7.


NOTE: If Confirmation or Prohibition modes have been selected, opening the door will
complete the procedure.

10. For Add or Rewrite modes do the following within 40 seconds of Door
Lock confirmation:

A. Press both transmitter Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously between 1 and
1.5 seconds and release.

B. Within 3 seconds of step A, press the transmitter Lock button for more than 1
second and release.

If the transmitter has been successfully programmed, the power locks will
cycle “lock” to “unlock” once at this time.

If there are problems with the transmitter or the procedure up to this point, the
locks will cycle twice. If this occurs, verify that you have received the correct
transmitter, and then repeat the above procedure.

C. If multiple remotes are to be reprogrammed, repeat steps A and B.

11. Open the driver’s door to conclude programming mode.

Correct

That is really how you program a new key or you just messing with us, lol? The dealer charges $175 to program a key, I thought it was done with a programmer or something.

That's how you program the remote. Programming a transponder key (the chip in the key kind) requires the Toyota TechStream system to program.

I see, thank you for the info. I totally forgot about the chip. Does my 2007 Sedan have a chip in the key?

How about the key itself, can a locksmith cut the key or does Toyota have to do that too?

Your 07 does not have the transponder key (you can tell by looking at the ignition switch - Ones without it have a totally metal ignition switch, and ones with it have the inner part that turns metal and the outer part plastic).

Cutting the key can be done by a locksmith without a problem.

Put your left foot in,
Your left foot out,
Your left foot in,
And shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
And turn yourself around.

Now put your right foot in,
Your right foot out,
Right foot in
And shake it all about.
And then you do the hokey pokey
Turn yourself around,
Now your keyless remote fob is programmed.

I told a friend about this procedure, open the door close the door turn the key to here, turn it back etc. etc. she thought I was joking too.

Another Big Thanks directed to CTScott!!!

By reading that Remote Start Install Primmer, I learned my 2007 Yaris didn't have a "chipped" key - via the pics of the two different Ignition switches.

Made replacing my lost key a very modest $3.79 adventure (tax Incld) at my local ACE Hardware.

Got love it!
