Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote

If I buy the keyless entry remote online for my 2007 Tacoma would it have the instructions to program it or do I have to take it to a shop?

 

Pretty sure you'd need a Toyota dealer to program it but you could call a locksmith first to see if they can do it which I'm sure would be cheaper.

 

Okay, will do. Thanks for the reply.

 

Had mine done by lock smith just needed to bring the original with it

 

You can program an open/close fob yourself.
It worked for me to reprogram a 2015 fob for a 2013

Was going to suggest looking at YouTube before visiting a dealer or locksmith.

 

TheBigKahuna,

Thanks for the video. Once I get it, going to try it.

 

Depends on the key model.
The dot chips you can do yourself.
There is a different one that has to be done by a locksmith/dealer.

 

How can I tell if mines is a dot chip?

 

Dot has to do with the immobilizer key. NOT the fob.


FOB Programming:

There are four different programming commands when setting up or verifying your remote transmitter, they are:

1. Add mode, used to add a remote to your car that is not currently registered.
2. Rewrite mode, used to erase all previously registered remotes and allow you to begin again theprogramming process.
3. Confirmation mode, used to verify the number of remotes that are already programmed in your car.
4. Prohibit mode, to prohibit allremotes from operating the door locks.
