Programming Toyota Hilux 2005 Car Keys

[Vai]

Hi there

Im hoping someone would be able to assist me!

We ordered a new remote spare key from NZ with blade uncut and we had it cut at a local locksmith… this was done on the advice from our one and only local Toyota dealer, ASCO.. we then gave it to ASCO with the master key so they could program it for us and unfortunately, after about 3 days of our car with them, ASCO advised sorry they’re not too sure why they cannot program our key after all other keys they did for their other customers.

The new key fits the door and ignition perfectly but its not programmed so it cannot start the car.

is someone able to give us advise on how to program it please? Or help us with ideas of what else we could try ?

thanks

Vai

I think it will have to be programmed by a dealer,

Heres how for the 2002-2004 models if you want to try

For 2002-2004

1. Make sure all doors and windows are closed.

2. Insert master key into the ignition cylinder.

3. Cycle the ignition cylinder from ON to OFF 5 times.

4. Open and close the driver side door 6 times.

5. Remove the master key and insert the new duplicate key.

6. DO NOT TURN THE IGNITION CYLINDER ON

7. The new key will be registered after 60 seconds.The THEFT light on the dashboard will go out,indicating that programming has been completed.
