With the master key (the black key, not the valet key, which is grey) and the copy in hand, install yourself in the driver’s seat and follow the procedure carefully. Then, have the key cut by your local hardware store and make sure it fits your ignition lock: you should be able to turn it all the way to the start position and hear the starter going without the engine turning on. You can get one for 10$ or so through eBay or Amazon. Procedureįirst, you need a blank transponder key for your model and year. Attach the key to a concealed spot under you car and save it for the “oops I’ve locked myself out” type of situation. If nothing including this procedure has worked for you, don’t despair, at least your copy can open doors.

According to the diy-time tutorial, it should work for the following models My car is a Toyota Matrix 2005 but apparently this procedure is valid for several Toyota models and years.

To program it I followed these instructions. The ID on the back of my remote reads: GQ43VT20T I have purchased 2 remote/key fobs on ebay both were around 5-10 dollars each(used) w/shipping and I programmed them myself. I think the final price going this route would be around $120 or a little less.

Just didn't need the key right now so I decided to wait until the need arises. I never had this done mainly due to price.

I don't have an example of the fob, but you can search pretty quickly on eBay. You can find instructions to program the fob on TW. I'm sure those are fine, but I like my stuff to match. However, be careful and insure you are getting a Toyota OEM fob and not an aftermarket. I think I have seen new ones for about $35 shipped, maybe less. You can also find Toyota fobs on eBay pretty reasonable too. I think my local dealer quoted me $55 to cut and program assuming I had a receipt. Most dealers will not cut and program your key unless you have the receipt showing you bought it from Toyota or another dealer. Then you can take it to your local dealership to be cut and programmed. If anyone is interested I found this seller on eBay (Toyota Dealer in Cali) that sells uncut keys for $33 shipped with a dealer receipt. I think the total for master key and fob from Toyota was like $230. I thought about getting another master set made, but the cost is high. I too bought my Tacoma used and it only came with one black (master) key and fob and the gray (valet) key.
