Please can anyone confirm that if these smart keys have been previously registered to a vehicle then they CAN NOT be reused on another vehicle!

Example; One from a Wrecked vehicle being reused.

A service adviser at my local Toyota Dealer told me this!

He said to be careful of the ones on Ebay.

You can re-use a key from another vehicle. You do need an "IT TESTER or aftermarket scantool" to program it in to the system.

The Vehicle immobiliser downloads the logic code from the key as the logic code is fixed (same as Falcons for example)

Vehicles like the Commodore have the code stored in the Body control Module and Upload the code to the "EMPTY" key/transponder, once writen the key will only work with that BCM.

If you misplace your keys or they are stolen, you can erase that or all keys from the memory, DJKOR was correct in his statement

Hi everybody,

I have a 2005 Corolla zze 122 sedan, both of the keyless entry keyfobs stopped working last week. I tried replacing the batteries in them one at a time with no success.

The central locking still works ok and the car starts ok.

I tried reprogramming them using the instruction manual supplied with the car, car door open turn the ignition 20 times, I have used this method once before to replace a lost keyfob

which worked ok. However this has not recovered the keyfobs this time.

I cannot locate the door control reciever, from the service manual it is located in the drivers side rear pillar however in my model there is nothing attached to the harness at this point.

The keyfob is elliptical in shape with only one button, the red led lights when I press it,

I would have suspected the keyfob as being faulty but as both stopped working at the same time I am unsure where to start.

Where is the door control reciever located in this model sedan?

thanks everybody in advance

Dave

Hi Dave

You mentioned that both fobs are out of action. Are you aware that there are two fob training techniques depending on if you have an operating fob or no operating fobs?

send me an email to info.ace@iinet.net.au and I will reply with the pdf's on how to do this.

I should also have this info posted on my website later tonight, so if you read this post later just follow this link
