which enables the engine to start. The
indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built

in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number

after reading all that, most folks get the key shop to do it for you.
Locksmiths that do cars, do this, as does any toy dealer.
there are limits. (excess keys programmed, life time of car.)

sound like ignition switch keylock cylinder broken.keep trying work key out might come out if not you have to remove ignition switch with keylock cylinder.

what key color black or grey each color key programs differently.need to know key color.

maybe fob is damaged, and wont open with key as it may be worn , do you have a spare key to try.

I have the 2010 Toyota Venza push to start. I lost the original key, so i bought a new key with the remote and its was programmed successful but this remote only had the three buttons on it, instead of four buttons ( Including the Hutch button). So i bought another new remote with the four buttons today and I want to know if it will work when i switch the programmed key into the new remote?

• It is possible to register up to 3 sub-key codes including the already registered key code.
• When any operation time described below is over, registration mode completes.
• When the next procedure is performed while the timer is working, the timer completes counting time, then next timer starts.

1. Depressing brake pedal and acceleration pedal:

A lock smith can come to your location and make you a new door key . and you can buy a new remote from the toyota dealer if it was a factory alarm .

no.. u need to have a dealer do it.. they also have a tool ti check it the remote is transmitting a signal as well

Line up the cap locks, press down and turn CLOCKWISE until it stops

The first programming option allows you to set the entry unlock to: (A) unlock the driver door with one push, and the remaining doors with a second push OR (B) unlock all of the doors with a single push.
