Hi

I recently traded in our old 97 and 98 model camrys to a car yard on a newer 07 Altise and 07 Sportivo.

I've only just realised that I had 2 additional spare remote zappers (black single button / oval type) for the old cars sitting in a storage drawer.

My question is can they be reused/recycled/reset to suit our newer cars, or are they really of no use to us and therefore throw them out or drop them in to the caryard where our trade-ins went.

Any feedback would be great

Cheers

Peter

The two old camry 97 and 98 remotes are on the left and the remote for the 2007 sportivo is on the right.

Can I reprogram these old remotes to work on the later model sportivo?

Can it be done DIY? If so , can someone let me know the procedure. I have seen a couple of suggestions on the forum (which I quickly but unsuccessfully tried - may need to try again) but I'm unsure they are applicable for the 07 model.

Cheers

Hey mate.

I don't think the old remote work with your 2007 sprotivo.

You could try to reprogramm with your new car tho.

If you want to purchase another remote for your 2007 sportivo, it may cost about $250 for brand new from toyota parts department.

I got quoted that price when I was looking for spare remote for my aurion.

However, if you are lucky enough, you could find one from ebay.

I've bought my spare remote for $25(not 100% sure but less than $30 for sure) from ebay.

If you're looking for one for your spare, make sure the remote is for CAMRY not for Aurion.

The remote for Aurion 2007and Camry2007 look same but they are not compatiable.

You can see the pic below. If you open the back panel of the remote, you can see the difference between Aurion remote and Camry remote.

(Left one is for Aurion and right one is for Camry)

Go and try ebay before you buy it from TOYOTA.You can find the remote programming from google.

Try camry 2007 remote program.

the steps like turning the key to ignition and off and several door openning.

Good luck.

does anyone know how much it costs to get the battery replaced?

You can just buy a battery from woolworth or coles and replace it?

it only costs about $10 for battery i guess.

If you're not sure what battery your remote uses, just open up the back panel and check.

it's not hard to do it at all.
