Key Transponder programming

[FMurtz]

Has any one succesfully programmed an aftermarket key with transponder for a 2002 avalon?

If it worked how did you do it?

As long as the aftermarket key has the correct transponder chip in it and you have the black master key then it will work.

Sit in the car, all doors closed and no key in the ignition

1. Insert master key in the ignition

2. turn from LOCK to ON 5 times and finish in the LOCK position

3. OPEN and CLOSE the drivers door 6 times

4. Remove the master key

5. Insert the new key and switch ON - The immobiliser light should start flashing

6. After 60 seconds the light will stop flashing

7. Repeat from step 6 for additional keys.

8. Open and close the drivers door when finished to exit programming.

Code the transponder before getting the key cut, just in case it fails.

No can do with this method, Trent. As you need to turn the key for programming it has to be cut.

Just noticed that, I was thinking of the other method where the key turn is not needed.

Yes, the in out and peddle method are much better for the reason that you mentioned.
