How to Program a New Key and Remote for 2014+ Tacoma

Programming Immobilizer Key:
1. Purchase a Mini VCI 16 Pin OBDII Cable Cars Diagnostic Scanner For TOYOTA Techstream w/ CD from ebay.com or Amazon.com for around $25.

2. Follow instructions on this site to get Software and OBDII cable going on Windows 8 x64: 3. Program Immoblizer to accept the key:

This worked for the type G chip key and immobilizer on my 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab.

 

Will look into this when I have more time

 

OP, have a link to the cable you bought?

Thank you! Worked perfect on my 2015.

I did have the create the C:\Program Files (x86)\XHorse Electronics\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS

folder before i could copy the driver files over.

 

Not MVCI cables are the same. I bought one from Ebay and it fried the USB port of my laptop when I plug the other end into the OBD II port. Luckily it was a really old laptop.

 

Just upgraded to version 9.3 from the link below. Haven't tested it. I did have to choose 2014 when it detected my truck. hopefully in 9.3 I can select 2015. not sure if it will make any difference as programming a key worked perfectly with 2014 selected.

This method works perfect...quick note though...you can't add keys if you only have the grey valet key....learned that the $150 way at the dealer...also those cables can be installed on Windows 7...the instructions are available online.

 

tested version 9.3 last night and it works perfectly. correctly identifies my 2015 now.
