Question For Toyota Technician

[R34_GT-t]

Hi,

I was just looking for some advise with my 2007 Toyota Auris.

Last night, somebody has gained access to the car without any means of forced entry, causing no damage. I'm presuming this was done by using a code grabber from somebody parked up nearby, which read my remote fob code when I last locked the car.

I was wondering if it would be best to get both remote fobs recoded so that the criminals won't be able to gain access with the old frequency code? Do these remote fobs work off a rolling code?

The car is non-keyless entry with a standard key/remote fob.

Is there a way of re-initializing my remote fobs without getting a specialist to do it?

Many thanks,

[Raistlin]

B. Rewrite mode:

B1) Turn the key to "ON" for 1 second, turn back to "LOCK" for 1 second, then back to "ON" for 1 second, and finally back to "LOCK" for 1 second

B2) Remove the key.

B3) You’ll hear the doors "LOCK", 1 second later "UNLOCK", 1 sec., "LOCK", 1 sec. "UNLOCK". (just listen)

B4) On your remote, press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 1 to 1½ seconds, then let go.

B5) On your remote, IMMEDIATELY press unlock by itself.

B6) You’ll get one of three responses:

R1) You’ll hear the doors "LOCK", then "UNLOCK" once. The remote is accepted. If you want to program another remote, immediately proceed to step B4, otherwise open the driver’s door and the remote is registered.

R2) You’ll hear the doors "LOCK", then "UNLOCK" twice. You didn’t use the same remote in steps B4 and B5(not likely).

R3) If no response, go back to step 1 near the beginning of these instructions.

C. Confirmation mode:

C1) Turn the key in 1 to "ON" and back to "LOCK" in one second intervals for a total of 3 times.

C2) Remove the key.

C3) You’ll hear the doors "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" in 2 second intervals. (just listen and count each set)

1 Set = You have 1 remote registered

2 Sets = You have 2 remotes registered

3 Sets = You have 3 remotes registered

4 Sets = You have 4 remotes registered

5 Sets = You do NOT have any remotes registered

D. Prohibit mode:

D1) Turn the key to "ON" and back to "LOCK" in one second intervals a total of 5 times.

D2) Remove the key.

D3) You’ll hear the doors "LOCK", 1 second later "UNLOCK" 5 times. (just listen and count each set)

D4) This will erase all previously registered remotes and cancel the wireless door lock function.

How would this work if the same problem arose and you had keyless start can a recode still be done. It's not happened to me however it would be very handy to know I could recode if needed.

Most car security systems in the UK have used rolling codes since 1999.

Rather than using a code grabber, the use of a signal jammer is more likely - a device that prevents the signal from your remote fob reaching and locking the car, and leaves the car unlocked when you leave it.
