Hey guys!

My girlfriend has a 2005 Toyota Echo 5 door hatch that I have bought a spare black chiped service key and had it cut at the locksmith, but I cannot seem to program it no matter what I do... I have used the instructions that come with the key (from ebay) I have also used multiple instrutions that I have found on the net, but all to no avail...

Has anyone else encountered this problem before and knows the fix it? Like most Toyota owners I am trying to avoid the Toyota service department due to there outragous prices... Lol.

Along with the key I bought two remotes (also from ebay) and I am encountering a simalar problem with them, I can get the car into program mode but the remotes won't program to the car...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Nick (Conquest_2008)

Did you turn your working key to the ignition while you doing the programming?

I have the similar problems like you for my corolla. At first the programming doesn't work because I only put the working key in without turning the key to ignition.

After a few attempts then I tried to turn working key to ignition and it works straight away.

I have to say the instructions from ebay is not clear enough and don't waste your time on the net instructions.

If this still does not works then probable the key you bought from ebay is not the right one.

For the remote control, my advice is buy the genuine remote control from Toyota.

It only costs $35 for my corolla plus they do programming for you free but you must have a working remote control for them to do that.

Otherwise, they will charge you more for resetting & reprogram the remote control.

Good luck! mate.

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I just had my Aurion ATX 2010 in for service today and received a call regarding oil cooling pipe has a prick hole and car is deemed not safe to drive till replaced. Service department bloke said they are taking photos and sending of for Warranty and awaiting a reply if it will be replaced at their cost or mine. I was informed it was picked up during service in 2020 and deemed safe? I will keep you updated on the outcome. my car has always been serviced at Toyota and only has 209,900 Kim’s

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
