Thanks for the suggestions. The key buzzer is intact.

I was doing the steps quite quickly, maybe I should try doing it slowly.

I don't have the new key yet. but I have attempted the pedal method steps just to see what would happen.

I've tried step 2 to 4 in the first post. At the end of step 4, the security light blink after removing the master key.

I'm assuming that means the system is armed, like normal when key is taken out of ignition. Therefore, the steps were not sucessful.

Hi mr2,

tried step 1 to 3 last night but the security light was not on solid. It was off.

Here's what happened:

After Step 1 the security light went off.

During step 2, security light blink if the key is removed. The light went off when the key is inserted.

After step 3, security light remain off. (key in ignition)

Any idea?

Thanks mr2, I will give the steps 1 to 3 a try tonight.

Hi mr2, I still have one black master key and one Valet key (grey).

ebay seller like this one, specified 2008-up Highlander cannot be self programed.

In fact, I got replies from couple of ebay sellers saying they cannot confirm if the key will even work :(

Hi Bridey666,

just wonder if you have any success on those steps posted.

I've lost one of my black key for 2009 kluger, now looking for a replacement.

So far the blank keys I found from ebay they are all quoted 'cannot self program' or 'requiring dealer program'.

Very confusing if I can ever get the key programed myself.

Cheers.
