Here is a step-by-step list of instructions for this model year from CarAndTruckRemotes.com (not a sponsor): blog.carandtruckremotes.com/2015/11/05/2009-2010-2011-2012-and-2013-toyota-corolla-free-programming-instructions-for-remote-head-key-keyless-entry-remote-fob-alarm/
Ugh, it usually isn't a matter of encryption length. If your original key won't start it, and you have no spare, you may have to go to a dealer or locksmith to program a new master key, and for that you typically have to have the manufacturer master four-digit PIN that was assigned to the vehicle when it was manufactured. That normally comes on a small rectangular plate with all the original sale paperwork or is taped to the original manuals. It frequently gets lost., or the selling dealer conveniently "forgets" to give it to the original buyers this forcing the to the dealer if all keys are lost. You can erase all keys from the immobilizer with some tools, but you typically cannot program a new *initial* (first) key without the PIN. I suppose if you have no way of starting the car right now you have nothing to lose by trying, but understand the risks if you go in to the IMMO menu, find an option to erase all keys, then cannot (for some or any reason) program a new one.
Got to say thanks to Dave. I bought a 2009 Corolla that came with a working key fob and a spare fob did not have the module but the key part was perfect. Bought a matching key fob from someone in EBay, took the module and put it in my spare fob shell. then I followed these steps and programmed my spare key fob without a problem. I now have two working key fobs for my car. Have to say that pushing the light switch by the door jamb, instead of opening and closing the door, made it easier for me. Once again thanks for the tutorial. For those who have tried and did not work, just try it again.
This worked on my 2016 corolla. My key and spare were not working. I assumed the battery died so I changed it. I assumed the spare died from not being used for years. I got one key to be reprogrammed. The other one I assume the battery is dead. Thank you Dave you saved me a ton of money at the dealership.
You're a lifesaver! My 2015 Toyota Corolla never cycled the door lock during the entire process, but I followed the instructions all the way through and it still worked!
I couldnt get my 2009 Corolla to get into programming mode, I followed all steps as followed and still had no results The security light just keeps flashing. Door locks never cycled. Any help is appreciated!
Hmmm if that security light is flashing thats a sign something else may be going on, like a problem with one of your existing keys, or perhaps all the slots for new keys are already taken. I'd give it a fresh try from scratch once more.
how would i go about resetting the slots for previous keys? I believe there were multiple fobs before I became the new owner. I also went to a locksmith today and cut the new key, I was asked if I wanted to program it for $100 and kindly declined lol.@@DIYDaveOK
I believe that's highly dependent on the model. I think I'm some cases the tool (like a ThinkDiag) will tell you how many "slots" are occupied, but not sure about giving you the ability to delete anything. You must be sure NOT to delete the master key or you WILL run a risk of *bricking the car*. I don't think ThinkDiag or the older AP200's can handle a master key reprogram, as that may take the vehicle PIN that it may or may not be able to find if you don't have it on hand. Wish I had more concise news for you. Exercise caution with any key deletions if that's your problem .
Well, if you had a working fob and it suddenly stopped working, and no work relating to keys has been done to the car, I'd have to infer a problem with the transponder in the key fob...about the best I could suggest
Thank you so much I watched this video 20 times Doing every action as you did them on a 2017 Corolla getting frustrated because the locks wouldn’t cycle and it wasn’t working . Then I paused the video and tried to remember all the steps and I’m pretty sure I did them incorrectly but somehow the locks cycled I press the lock and unlock button and the key worked 😃.
@@UnknownSrt27 I think the one step that I did that wasn’t in the video is I started the car I think it is assumed that when you go to program the car you drove it in somewhere not that it has been sitting in the driveway not running
For some reason when I do these exact steps perfectly, I’m still unable to get the car to give the “success lock”. Not sure if that means there’s an underlying issue or what.
Hmmm it's hard to say, unfortunately. Same year/make, etc? If the computer is already filled with the codes for other fobs, that might be one explanation.
Thanks Dave! Tried a few sequences that other Tubers posted with no luck. Your's did the trick!! (Note: my 2012 Camry did NOT audibly cycle mid-program and I had to run through the steps twice but it did successfully program the remote. Go figure🤷♀️)
Hi Dave, in your instructions; it is bestt if you only turn off and on ONCE. Twice will remove any other remotes that were installed, while one will allow you to keep existing remotes
I am going to replace the door control receiver on my friends 2011 Camry and hope this works to reprogram her FOB's. However I don't see your steps that you said would be listed below the video. Thanks in advance.
Hi Buddie, thanks for watching. Here is a link to the steps from CarAndTruckRemotes.com: blog.carandtruckremotes.com/2015/11/05/2009-2010-2011-2012-and-2013-toyota-corolla-free-programming-instructions-for-remote-head-key-keyless-entry-remote-fob-alarm/
Try to do these steps before you replace the door control receiver. Got one from the junkyard for a 2010 corolla, installed it, programmed it and it worked. Put the old one in programmed it and old one worked too. Parts was 13 bucks so not that expensive. Have a back up receiver now.
Nothing was taken out or changed, if you see a cut it was unintentional. I did this video about five years ago so I can only assume it was a cut for a couple of seconds of dead/pointless activity. No secret magic or deception.
Hey Dave! Good video. I’m trying these steps on my 2013 Corolla and get to the last steps. The locks cycle “lock/unlock”, but when I press the remote to test, it cycles “lock/unlock/lock/unlock”, and ends up not working. I’ve tried multiple times and each time end with the same result. Any suggestions??
Hmmm...that's strange.. The instances when I've had issues it usually boils down to timing, eg I waited too long (or tried the next step too soon). The steps can be *VERY* finicky!!! Thanks for watching. Give it another try and let me know how it goes.
@@lifeschoice6235 Unfortunately I have seen reports here that people experience what you're describing, and I don't have a magic fix. The way the video shows it is how I did it, along with the pinned instructions in the comments. Same year Corolla? Could all the keyslots be taken in the computer? I honestly wish I could nail down why for a subset of people this gives them trouble. I may have to program another key for my daughter (it's her car) and we will revisit this. I'd try the same steps at least once more because they can be very finicky.
Awesome video. Will try this tomorrow morning can't wait. Just had a question I broke my original key. The black alarm part fell off but the key part I still have will this be enough for me to cut the new key fob blank I purchased and then follow these instructions?
For cutting the key, it depends on whether your key shop can secure what you have in the machine to use it as a template. Hard to say for sure. Thanks for the kind words, and for watching! Let us know how it turns out.
Just did it right now and it worked! I'm so happy thank you so much. I have to figure out something else out the check engine snf the Trac off sign is showing for some reason
My son bought a couple off Amazon for his car and they do not work I was able to program my my key from my car to his car yeah 1 key fob 2 cars 😑 he has contacted the Amazon seller and are awaiting reply. So in short I found out no you do not need a original key fob to program a new key fob. Thank you for the quick response 👍🏼.
I was able to program the immobliser par of my key for my 2011. But I just can't get the remote part of the key to take on it. I ways able to program my wifes remote and immobiliser on her 2013 on the first try. I have tried umpteen times on my 2011 for the remote part, but it just won't work. I am doing it the same as I did my wifes 2013. Any ideas?
@@DIYDaveOK but the immobiliser part of key programmed fine. It is only the remote part of the key I can't get to program. Also, how would I check how many keys are programmed?
Sorry, my misunderstanding. Man, I'm not sure quite what to think since you clearly understand the process...beginning to grasp at straws a bit, but wonder if the battery in the fob is weak?
@@DIYDaveOK I thought that too, so I went and got a new battery for it. The light comes on and everything when a button is pressed. When I do the fob program part of it. My car cycles the locks 3 or 4 times after I push the lock button for the final time. Idk why it isn't working. I thought I heard somewhere or saw somewhere thst if it does that it means the car is telling you it didn't work. But I can't remember now.
@@adamn5821 Man that's frustrating. Here's a direct link to the Car And Truck Remote website with step by step for those same years and they should be identical to the video. blog.carandtruckremotes.com/2015/11/05/2009-2010-2011-2012-and-2013-toyota-corolla-free-programming-instructions-for-remote-head-key-keyless-entry-remote-fob-alarm/
Hey dave, thank you for the video! I successfully programmed two key fobs for my car, but the only problem I have is that after performing the remote programming, my key fob only locks the door, but does not unlock or open the trunk. I don't think is the key fob because it's new new, so I'm not sure what it could be.
You know, you're the second or third commenter in the last few days (weeks) that had had a problem with the second part of the programming. Do you have another key that does, in fact, unlock the trunk remotely? (Purely making sure we're not overlooking a problem with the lock actuator). I'm wondering if something has changed in the way the key gets written into the IMMO database that prevents the second part of the programming from working. I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I wish I had a better answer for you.
Tried 5 times and only cycled the doors. Opened and clean the black rubery cover then it worked perfectly, 🤔 why, Who knows🤷🏻♂️! But it worked 💫🥳 Thanks a lot for your advice.
I'm trying to program my 2000 year model toyota corolla has 1 button style on its remote can't find any videos if anyone can help would appreciate it thanks
Im using a corolla 2.0, 2011, do I need to get a specific frequency for FOB remote of this model? I came across there were two types of frequencies one is 315mhz and the other is 433mhz for Toyota Corolla, or does the receiver of this model able to receive any response from any of these frequency?
@@DIYDaveOK Thanks Dave! Sounds logical. Do you know the maximum for the 2012 Corolla. We only have two in use now but some were lost or broken a few years ago and we had the new one added. So if that’s the case would I need to ‘somehow’ wipe the memory and then reprogram each existing key? Is that a risky or safe easy DIY project? Would hate to royally screw it up. Any additional insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks !
Unfortunately, clearing out ALL keys erases the *master* key established by the factory. I don't think the AP200 can regenerate a new master key or selective replace a "slot" in key memory.
Hi Dave, i got my fob lock & unlock setting working. but the immobiliser not learning yet. can u kindly advise if i need to redo again? or is there a special way to sync with immobiliser? Thank u
Where can I find instructions to do the same for a 2014 Camry SE? I purchased a blank FOB (type G). Once that's working, I'll move on to the next steps: getting the key cut and attempting the AUTEL 200 (from your other video) for getting the key to start the vehicle.
Each generation's instructions seem to vary just a bit from prior and later versions. I don't have instructions handy for a '14 Camry, but the programming steps in the Autel should match up to that vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Im stuck in program mode. After i cycle on and off in the ignition the locks cycle. I press and gold lock and unlock and the locks cycle again. I press any button the locks continue to cycle. If i open door or enter ignition program mode ends and the key doesnt sync
That's really strange; I'm wondering if maybe there is some sightly different step required on your particular vehicle. I wish I had better information for you! ☹️ That's for watching!
Mine is just staying in "programming mode" . They lock and unlock three times, and when I hold both lock and unlock on the FOB for 3 seconds, the car just continues to stay in programming mode. locking and unlocking three times and never actually programming. Any help or tips for this?
Hey DIY Dave, So I have 2 fobs when I program 1 the other 1 disables and vice verse, how do i get them both to work or program both of them? Thanks Greg
Hmmm...sounds to me like you may have the maximum number of fobs programmed to the car, and when you program the last one the previous one gets displaced. That's my first guess at least!
Sure!! I get all my remotes at CarAndTruckRemotes.com They have brand new and refurbished remotes and really good customer service. I don't get anything for mentioning them, they're not a sponsor or anything like that. I've just had good experiences with them!!
Good video Dave. I'm wondering if you have any tips or ideas on how to program to lock and unlock my wife. Sometimes she locks up and nothing I try seems to help at all.
LOL I don't think I could help you there, but if I could figure THAT out for husbands everywhere, that would be one viral video!!! 😆😆😂. Thanks for watching!
Are you reprograming this key because a new battery was put it?...I just put in new CR2025 battery and my key still not working so I am going to try reprogram.
Hey Dave, i have a 2010 corolla and found a used key fob from a different corolla between the years of 09-13 but it’s cut different then the original. if the key is already cut what will happen when i reprogram the used key. will it then be the key that starts the vehicle and my old key will only be used to lock the doors manually ? Thanks.
if the physical key is cut differently I don't know that it will engage the immobilizer mechanically to allow it to start. The used/old reprogrammed key *should* still be able to remote unlock and open the trunk.
Hi Dave I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla and my key fob cracked and doesn’t hold the original key . I purchased a replacement fob that comes with key from the cars and remote website. Can I open the new fob and place in my original key and try to program it or do I need to get the new key it came with cut and programmed?
I think you need an original, working key to program additional keys. The ECU stores all the key information internally, and assumes a new key can be programmed if a known-good key is presented. If your only good key has failed, even with a new battery, you *might* have to use an OEM tool (like Techstream for Toyota) to rewrite/regenerate all the secret key information and program a new master key. There are some subtleties there I have not checked into myself, so be very careful when dealing with the car's key memory. If you completely erase all keys, you could be left with an unstartable car, requiring a programming tool that typically (well, supposedly) only certified locksmiths have, and in some cases require payment of a fee to the OEM to have a new "master" key code written to the computer. The AP200 is designed, I believe, to have one good key in hand. Thanks for watching!
DIY Dave thanks for the video man! I’m having the same problem. My original car key stopped working and I got the battery replaced and it still doesn’t work. It flashes red when your press the button but doesn’t unlock/lock the car. Toyota said something about getting a new chip and getting it programmed for like $600 bucks! Can you help me with something I can do. Money is kinda tight right now and I’m really trying to help my dad. Thank you
I followed every step but it’s still doesn’t program? When I hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds and let go it doesn’t do the cycle. I tried the whole thing again, and this time it worked, I hit the lock button, does the cycle again but then when I hit the unlock and the trunk button it just keeps doing the cycle. I put the key in the ignition or open the door and it all disappears and key fob isn’t programmed. Is anyone having the same issue?
@@cagada Man that's essentially the same car I did the video on. One possibility given the circumstances you're describing is that the computer already has the maximum number of keys programmed it will allow. If that's the case, you might need to "deprogram" one of the older keys, and I'm not sure the AP200 supports that.
update. today i went to cut the keys, and the surprise was that only works for lock and unlock, so i had to pay for programming because my car won't turn on ..
I can get to the programming phase but instead of my remote programming it just continues to lock and unlock twice. When I get out and test it the fob does not work
Hey Dave Ive done this several times because my key deprogrammed and doesnt work anymore, battery seems fine and the light on my key fob turns on but doesnt respond. When i enter program mode and hold the buttons instead of cycling once it cycles twice and it wont program. Key is the original
Now that *may* be a problem. Normally, you use one original/existing key to the process to more or less "authenticate" you as someone legitimately trying to add a key. But if this is an original key that no longer works, it makes me wonder if something more fundamental is at hand; keys don't normally spontaneously self-delete. It would almost seem like some prior key programming was done that affected the key database in the immobilizer, or (more drastically) perhaps at some point the car's ECU has been changed out without keys being transferred? You might be able to re-add that key by using a *different* working key first. Wish I could offer more specific help!!
Hmmm... unfortunately, there's a recurring theme that this either works perfectly (which seems to be the vast majority of times) or it stalls out at the cycle/finish process and darned if I know why. Where did you get the new key? Any chance all the key slots in the immobilizer are already taken?
@@DIYDaveOK I'm unsure as to where the key was gotten but ignition works. I tried doing the on off cycle twice incase the list of paired keys was full same result, no lock cycle to confirm it's ready to adda new remote. (Not sure what you meant by immobilizer)
The immobilizer is the computer component that records and authorizes keys. Typically, most Toyotas allow for up to (I think) five total programmed keys; the two issues by the factory and then up to three additional ones. There is the possibility that other remotes have been programmed and all slots are filled. I don't think the AP200 supports selective deletion of individual keys. If you're not sure where the extra key originated, you might consider getting one from a good source like CarAndTruckRemotes.com (not a sponsor).
Hi Cool! Unfortunately, the steps don't always apply across the board. As the software for each car changes over time and across models, the steps change as well. Thanks for watching!
Hi, the battery for my original key died so I replaced it and it lights up when I press the buttons but it doesn’t actually work. I tried this method with just that original key and the doors cycled twice at the end, I know it was a long shot for it but do you have any suggestions?
Hmmm....I'm assuming you did use the original key (as opposed to it having been stowed in a drawer somewhere). Because what you're describing sounds like the original key got deleted from the car's computer; either that or the light works but the emitter doesn't. Before jumping to any other conclusions, I would suggest carefully starting over and making sure you go through the steps one more time. Let me know what happens and I'll try to help if I can.
@@DIYDaveOK Thank you! I tried the method in the video multiple times and it does the same thing. I believe it is that the original key was deleted because the battery was dead for a while.
@@karlacampos694 Hmmm.....Normally the key even if dead would have to have it's "space" in the computer removed/deleted and unless you (or someone else ) had other keys programmed in, that's kinda unlikely. You've got one working key? If so, you might start the programming process over (from the first video) and make sure that key is actually written to the computer.
@@DIYDaveOK I just have the one original key and it’s the one that the fob doesn’t work for. I just watched the first video and I think I’ll do that, thank you again!
Idk if anyone will see this comment this many years later. I’m able to do it all and the 3 sec hold works but after that nothing else works. If I hit unlock it will cycle the doors but nothing else works on the fob. Am I missing something?
I read all the comments if I can. I've seen some comments that in some cases what you're experiencing happens, but darned if I understand why. It worked for me as demonstrated. I wish I had an answer for you, but there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for when it doesn't work.
@@DIYDaveOK thank you anyway! I think my kids deprogrammed it bc it had worked just fine prior. I’ll keep doing research and if I come across a solution that works I will send it your way for anyone else who has my problem too.
Very informative! I would like to ask sir the mhz of corolla 2008-2011, it is the model before yours, are they the same mhz? Mine wasn't working when it got chipped by the locksmith to fit it in another fob, planning to order thru online shopping.
Now that one I just don't know. I know Toyota changed remote key systems over four or five generations so I suspect it is reasonable to assume frequencies changed, but I don't know that for a fact. You could keep the same frequencies but encode different information that makes the two systems mutually exclusive.
Is there any way to turn off the wireless remote to a 2018 Toyota Corollahas somebody has gained access to the remote code and locks and unlocks it randomly
Wow, Bruno, that's a bad situation to say the least! What I think you might have to explore is the possibility of having ALL the remote keyless fobs erased from your vehicle's computer memory and having new keys programmed. Ordinarily, this requires access to the OEM's systems to have a new internal "master key" created for your vehicle, and usually that kind of access is limited to only certified locksmiths (or, of course, dealerships). There are some third-party tools that can accomplish this as well, but I have no personal experience with *complete key erasure* and ground-up reprogramming. Exercise caution and good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@therealjpoe23 Ahh, okay. I did a bit of checking on Venza keys of that year and from what I can tell they will need to be programmed with a tool like the AP200 or the ThinkDiag.
@@DIYDaveOK right. After pushing LOKC+UNLOCK the lock buttons cycle multiple times. It all stops when I open the drivers door but remote still doesnt work.
@@dho11 Hmmm this is so frustrating because I know these steps work the overwhelming majority of the time but there are still folks who, for whatever reason, have problems. I'll try to help as much as I can! Did you program this key from scratch with the AP200?
Well, you'd have to buy a copy of Techstream (or purchase a limited use license, perhaps), but you'll keep the AP200 and only pay yearly renewals for the software beyond the free model you get (or did at one point at least). I'm sure that Autel worked to reverse-engineer the key programming software and wrote it anew for their AP200.
@@DIYDaveOK there is OEM japanese usb to OBD 2 cables on amazon for the fraction of the price of the ap200. the software is easily avaible online too cracked.
@@karpashimala6927Understand that, Bandushi, and that option may work for some, but I am probably going to avoid recommending hacked software of unknown origin. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I have a 2010 Corolla and the center lock does not work in it. After I washed the interior with water, I tried all the methods and it does not work. How can I solve this problem, please help
When you mean the "center lock," could you describe a bit more what you mean? If something like a lock stopped working after water was involved, a short sure seems likely, but if you could give me a bit more detail maybe I could be more helpful
Yes, after washing it with water, the center lock became not working or working sometimes, and some of them did not work. I checked the base of the fuses that are located under the steering wheel and did not find any damage.
@@ItsNoxs_ Well, it's a little difficult to be sure, but it sure sounds to me like the washing/cleaning effort has probably caused some water to intrude into a connector controlling the affected lock. Finding the connector and opening it up to inspect for water intrusion is probably the best path I can suggest at this point. I'm still not entirely sure what you mean exactly by "center lock."
For my own (and others) reference: 1. Open drivers side door 2. Insert and remove original key into ignition twice 3. Close and open driver's door twice 4. Insert and remove good key into ignition once 5. Close and open driver's door twice again 6. Put key into ignition 7. Close drivers door 8. Turn key from off to on to off 1 time 9. remove key, locks should cycle 10. Hold the lock and unlock button for 3 seconds on the new key
Hi I followed all the steps and it worked on the spare key, BUT my original key lost the lock/unlock features..... I followed the steps again to program the original key and the keys (lock/unlock) worked again BUT unfortunately the spare key lost the features this time. What am I missing? It seems like I can only program one key at a time, how can I make both keys to work? Thanks in advance!!!
You must buy the fob that is associated with the specific year and model of your vehicle. That is the only way to ensure the car and fob are transmitting/receiving on the correct frequency and using the right signals.
Hmmm... Not quite sure on that, Joy. My first thought (well, guess) is that perhaps you're not holding the button long enough. Let me do a little thinking and see if I can come up with a better idea.
Places like Home Depot and Ace Hardware typically won't cut keys you don't buy there with their "system." You'll need to go to a private local locksmith, at least that's my experience.
How can we unlock just the drivers door 1st on 1st click. Then all 3 other door on 2nd click. For safety reasons of a lone driver running to car and a chaser trying to beat them to the car on passenger side. Is their a way to program the key to open only the drivers side 1st on 1st click? If i cant have the 2nd click to opem passengers sides. I hopeing at least i can get to drivers side and just unlock them from inside car. I'm talking women getting off work heading to car and a stranger approaching her from the otherside as she is walking to her car alone at night. She'd want just the driver side to open to get in lock her side, start it and go. Thank you i appreciate your knowledge sir.
That kind of unlock customization isn't controlled by the key fob; it would be something that a system called the Body Control Module would have to be programmed to do. Now on the other Toyota products I own, the unlock behavior you describe is the default, so I'm surprised you are experiencing different behavior.
Here is a step-by-step list of instructions for this model year from CarAndTruckRemotes.com (not a sponsor):

good morning, please I lost all my Toyota sensor keys, how can I start my car
I have followed this step-by-step in our 2013 Corolla with no luck
Sorry Johnny, is this with a new spare key?
@@DIYDaveOK no, original key for our 2013 Corolla. I guess it’s 80bit key encryption, not 40 and requires a dealership ?
Ugh, it usually isn't a matter of encryption length. If your original key won't start it, and you have no spare, you may have to go to a dealer or locksmith to program a new master key, and for that you typically have to have the manufacturer master four-digit PIN that was assigned to the vehicle when it was manufactured. That normally comes on a small rectangular plate with all the original sale paperwork or is taped to the original manuals. It frequently gets lost., or the selling dealer conveniently "forgets" to give it to the original buyers this forcing the to the dealer if all keys are lost. You can erase all keys from the immobilizer with some tools, but you typically cannot program a new *initial* (first) key without the PIN. I suppose if you have no way of starting the car right now you have nothing to lose by trying, but understand the risks if you go in to the IMMO menu, find an option to erase all keys, then cannot (for some or any reason) program a new one.
Thanks! Worked perfectly for my Corolla 2013.
Great to hear!
Got to say thanks to Dave. I bought a 2009 Corolla that came with a working key fob and a spare fob did not have the module but the key part was perfect. Bought a matching key fob from someone in EBay, took the module and put it in my spare fob shell. then I followed these steps and programmed my spare key fob without a problem. I now have two working key fobs for my car. Have to say that pushing the light switch by the door jamb, instead of opening and closing the door, made it easier for me. Once again thanks for the tutorial.
For those who have tried and did not work, just try it again.
@@chipservin2843 Awesome!!
This worked on my 2016 corolla. My key and spare were not working. I assumed the battery died so I changed it. I assumed the spare died from not being used for years. I got one key to be reprogrammed. The other one I assume the battery is dead. Thank you Dave you saved me a ton of money at the dealership.
That's fantastic! Thanks so much for letting us know.
You're a lifesaver! My 2015 Toyota Corolla never cycled the door lock during the entire process, but I followed the instructions all the way through and it still worked!
Awesome!! So glad it worked for you!!
I tried doing it on my 2015 corolla, somehow it's not working, I'm not sure if it's the key (not oem) or I'm doing it wrong.
It's possible the steps vary slightly for a 2015, not 100% sure.
Same, I'm having the same issue with my 2010.
I feel like it might be an app issue.
I was able to program a OEM key though
@@matthewbelviz8230
Is there anything you did different it’s not working for my 2015 Corolla
Dave, thanks for the excellent step by step tutorial. I just bought a used Corolla with a dead FOB battery and this reprogramming worked perfect!
Fantastic and thanks for the kind words!
After I had changed the battery for my car key, it wasn’t working. I did this procedure and it is back to normal. Thank you for posting this! 🎉🤩
Awesome. Worked exactly as you said. I was able to put the fob parts into the old key!! Works like it came from the factory!!
Fantastic!!!
Your explanation to program the Toyota Corolla key fob worked as promised. Easy and quick. Thanks for sharing the the information.
My pleasure!! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Dave.
This was a very clear video with instructions clearly laid out and very easy to follow.
Thanks for watching, Peter!
It worked,I can’t believe it,I feel very happy like a child…Thank you DIYDAVID
Thank you!
At the end, I had to step out of the vehicle and used the key fob, and it’s works ❤
Awesome! Great to hear a success story!!
I couldnt get my 2009 Corolla to get into programming mode, I followed all steps as followed and still had no results
The security light just keeps flashing. Door locks never cycled. Any help is appreciated!
Hmmm if that security light is flashing thats a sign something else may be going on, like a problem with one of your existing keys, or perhaps all the slots for new keys are already taken. I'd give it a fresh try from scratch once more.
how would i go about resetting the slots for previous keys? I believe there were multiple fobs before I became the new owner.
I also went to a locksmith today and cut the new key, I was asked if I wanted to program it for $100 and kindly declined lol.@@DIYDaveOK
I believe that's highly dependent on the model. I think I'm some cases the tool (like a ThinkDiag) will tell you how many "slots" are occupied, but not sure about giving you the ability to delete anything. You must be sure NOT to delete the master key or you WILL run a risk of *bricking the car*. I don't think ThinkDiag or the older AP200's can handle a master key reprogram, as that may take the vehicle PIN that it may or may not be able to find if you don't have it on hand. Wish I had more concise news for you. Exercise caution with any key deletions if that's your problem .
Hey my key fob stopped being able to lock and unlock my corolla 2008 i have tried multiple of these videod and none of them work i am very confused
Well, if you had a working fob and it suddenly stopped working, and no work relating to keys has been done to the car, I'd have to infer a problem with the transponder in the key fob...about the best I could suggest
Thank you so much I watched this video 20 times Doing every action as you did them on a 2017 Corolla getting frustrated because the locks wouldn’t cycle and it wasn’t working . Then I paused the video and tried to remember all the steps and I’m pretty sure I did them incorrectly but somehow the locks cycled I press the lock and unlock button and the key worked 😃.
Awesome!!
How exactly did you do it?
@@UnknownSrt27 I think the one step that I did that wasn’t in the video is I started the car I think it is assumed that when you go to program the car you drove it in somewhere not that it has been sitting in the driveway not running
Woohooo!!! Just did it. Your door technique was the trick. Much love sir!!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Very clear, great instructions! It took me a longer time watching the video than it did reprograming the clicker.
For some reason when I do these exact steps perfectly, I’m still unable to get the car to give the “success lock”. Not sure if that means there’s an underlying issue or what.
Hmmm it's hard to say, unfortunately. Same year/make, etc? If the computer is already filled with the codes for other fobs, that might be one explanation.
Thanks Dave! Tried a few sequences that other Tubers posted with no luck. Your's did the trick!! (Note: my 2012 Camry did NOT audibly cycle mid-program and I had to run through the steps twice but it did successfully program the remote. Go figure🤷♀️)
Awesome!! Glad it worked for you!!!
Hi Dave, in your instructions; it is bestt if you only turn off and on ONCE. Twice will remove any other remotes that were installed, while one will allow you to keep existing remotes
Really?
it did the cycle thing but if i try to test if the key paired, the locks just start cycling again…. so idk what’s going wrong
I am going to replace the door control receiver on my friends 2011 Camry and hope this works to reprogram her FOB's. However I don't see your steps that you said would be listed below the video. Thanks in advance.
Hi Buddie, thanks for watching. Here is a link to the steps from CarAndTruckRemotes.com: blog.carandtruckremotes.com/2015/11/05/2009-2010-2011-2012-and-2013-toyota-corolla-free-programming-instructions-for-remote-head-key-keyless-entry-remote-fob-alarm/
Try to do these steps before you replace the door control receiver. Got one from the junkyard for a 2010 corolla, installed it, programmed it and it worked. Put the old one in programmed it and old one worked too. Parts was 13 bucks so not that expensive. Have a back up receiver now.
Hi DIY Dave
At 3:55 your camera cut to a different time when locking with the new fob didnt work. What did you do to finish the programming?
Nothing was taken out or changed, if you see a cut it was unintentional. I did this video about five years ago so I can only assume it was a cut for a couple of seconds of dead/pointless activity. No secret magic or deception.
Cool, thanks DIY Dave
Thank you!! I just programmed a key for a 2012 Scion XB. The steps worked!!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

Hey Dave! Good video. I’m trying these steps on my 2013 Corolla and get to the last steps. The locks cycle “lock/unlock”, but when I press the remote to test, it cycles “lock/unlock/lock/unlock”, and ends up not working. I’ve tried multiple times and each time end with the same result. Any suggestions??

When your turn the car ignition on, instead of doing it once. Do it twice. This worked for me.
Keeps unlocking and locking unlocking after trying to program it. How’d u get it to work?
@@lifeschoice6235 Unfortunately I have seen reports here that people experience what you're describing, and I don't have a magic fix. The way the video shows it is how I did it, along with the pinned instructions in the comments. Same year Corolla? Could all the keyslots be taken in the computer? I honestly wish I could nail down why for a subset of people this gives them trouble. I may have to program another key for my daughter (it's her car) and we will revisit this. I'd try the same steps at least once more because they can be very finicky.
Awesome video. Will try this tomorrow morning can't wait. Just had a question I broke my original key. The black alarm part fell off but the key part I still have will this be enough for me to cut the new key fob blank I purchased and then follow these instructions?
For cutting the key, it depends on whether your key shop can secure what you have in the machine to use it as a template. Hard to say for sure. Thanks for the kind words, and for watching! Let us know how it turns out.
Just did it right now and it worked! I'm so happy thank you so much. I have to figure out something else out the check engine snf the Trac off sign is showing for some reason
What if you don't have a original factory key fob?
Programming a new key in this way all but requires one existing good key if I'm not mistaken.
My son bought a couple off Amazon for his car and they do not work I was able to program my my key from my car to his car yeah 1 key fob 2 cars 😑 he has contacted the Amazon seller and are awaiting reply. So in short I found out no you do not need a original key fob to program a new key fob. Thank you for the quick response 👍🏼.
I was able to program the immobliser par of my key for my 2011. But I just can't get the remote part of the key to take on it. I ways able to program my wifes remote and immobiliser on her 2013 on the first try. I have tried umpteen times on my 2011 for the remote part, but it just won't work. I am doing it the same as I did my wifes 2013. Any ideas?
Dang, makes me wonder if the max number have keys are already in the immobilizer already....would be worth checking..think the max is five
@@DIYDaveOK but the immobiliser part of key programmed fine. It is only the remote part of the key I can't get to program. Also, how would I check how many keys are programmed?
Sorry, my misunderstanding. Man, I'm not sure quite what to think since you clearly understand the process...beginning to grasp at straws a bit, but wonder if the battery in the fob is weak?
@@DIYDaveOK I thought that too, so I went and got a new battery for it. The light comes on and everything when a button is pressed. When I do the fob program part of it. My car cycles the locks 3 or 4 times after I push the lock button for the final time. Idk why it isn't working. I thought I heard somewhere or saw somewhere thst if it does that it means the car is telling you it didn't work. But I can't remember now.
@@adamn5821 Man that's frustrating. Here's a direct link to the Car And Truck Remote website with step by step for those same years and they should be identical to the video. blog.carandtruckremotes.com/2015/11/05/2009-2010-2011-2012-and-2013-toyota-corolla-free-programming-instructions-for-remote-head-key-keyless-entry-remote-fob-alarm/
Hey dave, thank you for the video! I successfully programmed two key fobs for my car, but the only problem I have is that after performing the remote programming, my key fob only locks the door, but does not unlock or open the trunk. I don't think is the key fob because it's new new, so I'm not sure what it could be.
You know, you're the second or third commenter in the last few days (weeks) that had had a problem with the second part of the programming. Do you have another key that does, in fact, unlock the trunk remotely? (Purely making sure we're not overlooking a problem with the lock actuator). I'm wondering if something has changed in the way the key gets written into the IMMO database that prevents the second part of the programming from working. I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I wish I had a better answer for you.
Tried 5 times and only cycled the doors.
Opened and clean the black rubery cover then it worked perfectly, 🤔 why, Who knows🤷🏻♂️!
But it worked 💫🥳
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know and for watching!

Im using a corolla 2.0, 2011, do I need to get a specific frequency for FOB remote of this model?
I came across there were two types of frequencies one is 315mhz and the other is 433mhz for Toyota Corolla, or does the receiver of this model able to receive any response from any of these frequency?
I think the model year and make would be sufficient guarantee the proper type of fob.
Hi, what could be causing the registration to fail? goes through to end but then locks unlocks twice indicating failed. )-:
The first thing I would speculate is that you've reached the max number of keys in the immobilizer. Purely a guess at this point.
@@DIYDaveOK Thanks Dave! Sounds logical. Do you know the maximum for the 2012 Corolla. We only have two in use now but some were lost or broken a few years ago and we had the new one added. So if that’s the case would I need to ‘somehow’ wipe the memory and then reprogram each existing key? Is that a risky or safe easy DIY project? Would hate to royally screw it up. Any additional insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks !
@@jerryr574 I won't swear to this, but I think it is five.
@@DIYDaveOK aha.. so I’ll need to clear the system and restore the two I have. Do you have that info or a link to where I can learn how to do that ?
Unfortunately, clearing out ALL keys erases the *master* key established by the factory. I don't think the AP200 can regenerate a new master key or selective replace a "slot" in key memory.
Can u recomend a good place i can buy a remote for my Corolla 2011? Thank u!

Hi Dave, i got my fob lock & unlock setting working. but the immobiliser not learning yet. can u kindly advise if i need to redo again? or is there a special way to sync with immobiliser? Thank u
I would always advise just going through the steps once again. The process can be very finicky!
Where can I find instructions to do the same for a 2014 Camry SE? I purchased a blank FOB (type G). Once that's working, I'll move on to the next steps: getting the key cut and attempting the AUTEL 200 (from your other video) for getting the key to start the vehicle.
Each generation's instructions seem to vary just a bit from prior and later versions. I don't have instructions handy for a '14 Camry, but the programming steps in the Autel should match up to that vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Im stuck in program mode. After i cycle on and off in the ignition the locks cycle. I press and gold lock and unlock and the locks cycle again. I press any button the locks continue to cycle. If i open door or enter ignition program mode ends and the key doesnt sync
That's really strange; I'm wondering if maybe there is some sightly different step required on your particular vehicle. I wish I had better information for you! ☹️ That's for watching!
The same thing is happening to my car after all these steps. were you able to figure it out and make it work?
Mine is just staying in "programming mode" . They lock and unlock three times, and when I hold both lock and unlock on the FOB for 3 seconds, the car just continues to stay in programming mode. locking and unlocking three times and never actually programming. Any help or tips for this?
Hmmm I wish I had a brilliant answer for you. What year/model vehicle?
Hey DIY Dave, So I have 2 fobs when I program 1 the other 1 disables and vice verse, how do i get them both to work or program both of them? Thanks Greg
Hmmm...sounds to me like you may have the maximum number of fobs programmed to the car, and when you program the last one the previous one gets displaced. That's my first guess at least!
My master key stop opening and closing remotely my car few days ago ...I tried this but no luck ...anyone got any help?
Yikes. If your master key no longer works, that may be a problem internal to the computer/Immobilizer system.

Are you reprograming this key because a new battery was put it?...I just put in new CR2025 battery and my key still not working so I am going to try reprogram.
No this was a new secondary key. We bought the car used and it only had one key, so we needed a spare. Thanks for watching!
Hey Dave, i have a 2010 corolla and found a used key fob from a different corolla between the years of 09-13 but it’s cut different then the original. if the key is already cut what will happen when i reprogram the used key. will it then be the key that starts the vehicle and my old key will only be used to lock the doors manually ?
Thanks.
if the physical key is cut differently I don't know that it will engage the immobilizer mechanically to allow it to start. The used/old reprogrammed key *should* still be able to remote unlock and open the trunk.
Can I know what is the frequency of the remote control key?
I wish I knew you tell you😥, but I don't.
This worked for me, super easy instructions and clearly given.
Thanks Tomz!!
Hi Dave I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla and my key fob cracked and doesn’t hold the original key . I purchased a replacement fob that comes with key from the cars and remote website.

I think I would just program the new key and get it cut.

@@gisellerox8372 My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Will this work to reprogram my original key? I already switched the battery remote key and my original key still doesn’t open or lock my car?
Did you try it ? Same thing happened to me.
I think you need an original, working key to program additional keys. The ECU stores all the key information internally, and assumes a new key can be programmed if a known-good key is presented. If your only good key has failed, even with a new battery, you *might* have to use an OEM tool (like Techstream for Toyota) to rewrite/regenerate all the secret key information and program a new master key. There are some subtleties there I have not checked into myself, so be very careful when dealing with the car's key memory. If you completely erase all keys, you could be left with an unstartable car, requiring a programming tool that typically (well, supposedly) only certified locksmiths have, and in some cases require payment of a fee to the OEM to have a new "master" key code written to the computer. The AP200 is designed, I believe, to have one good key in hand. Thanks for watching!
DIY Dave thanks for the video man! I’m having the same problem. My original car key stopped working and I got the battery replaced and it still doesn’t work. It flashes red when your press the button but doesn’t unlock/lock the car. Toyota said something about getting a new chip and getting it programmed for like $600 bucks!

Thanks for the video. Worked for me the Service manual for the 2010 corolla on how to do this was not that clear.
So you need both keys? That wasn’t clear. Can you program with one key?
Just need one.
I followed every step but it’s still doesn’t program? When I hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds and let go it doesn’t do the cycle. I tried the whole thing again, and this time it worked, I hit the lock button, does the cycle again but then when I hit the unlock and the trunk button it just keeps doing the cycle. I put the key in the ignition or open the door and it all disappears and key fob isn’t programmed. Is anyone having the same issue?
That's a really strange behavior!! Are you doing this on a Corolla or other vehicle?
@@DIYDaveOK On a 2013 Toyota Corolla S
@@cagada Man that's essentially the same car I did the video on. One possibility given the circumstances you're describing is that the computer already has the maximum number of keys programmed it will allow. If that's the case, you might need to "deprogram" one of the older keys, and I'm not sure the AP200 supports that.

Fantastic!! Thanks for letting me know!
update. today i went to cut the keys, and the surprise was that only works for lock and unlock, so i had to pay for programming because my car won't turn on ..
I can get to the programming phase but instead of my remote programming it just continues to lock and unlock twice. When I get out and test it the fob does not work
Hard to say with certainty, obviously, but offhand it sounds to me like you might not actually be getting into the programming mode.
Hey Dave Ive done this several times because my key deprogrammed and doesnt work anymore, battery seems fine and the light on my key fob turns on but doesnt respond. When i enter program mode and hold the buttons instead of cycling once it cycles twice and it wont program. Key is the original
Now that *may* be a problem. Normally, you use one original/existing key to the process to more or less "authenticate" you as someone legitimately trying to add a key. But if this is an original key that no longer works, it makes me wonder if something more fundamental is at hand; keys don't normally spontaneously self-delete. It would almost seem like some prior key programming was done that affected the key database in the immobilizer, or (more drastically) perhaps at some point the car's ECU has been changed out without keys being transferred? You might be able to re-add that key by using a *different* working key first. Wish I could offer more specific help!!
2010 toyota corolla 1.8L. Worked perfectly!
Awesome!!! Thanks for giving it a try and letting us know it worked!!
Hi I'm trying on a 2010 corlla S but it doesn't cycle
Hmmm... unfortunately, there's a recurring theme that this either works perfectly (which seems to be the vast majority of times) or it stalls out at the cycle/finish process and darned if I know why. Where did you get the new key? Any chance all the key slots in the immobilizer are already taken?
@@DIYDaveOK I'm unsure as to where the key was gotten but ignition works. I tried doing the on off cycle twice incase the list of paired keys was full same result, no lock cycle to confirm it's ready to adda new remote.
(Not sure what you meant by immobilizer)
The immobilizer is the computer component that records and authorizes keys. Typically, most Toyotas allow for up to (I think) five total programmed keys; the two issues by the factory and then up to three additional ones. There is the possibility that other remotes have been programmed and all slots are filled. I don't think the AP200 supports selective deletion of individual keys. If you're not sure where the extra key originated, you might consider getting one from a good source like CarAndTruckRemotes.com (not a sponsor).
Sir may i ask if this steps of programing the key remote is applicable to all model of toyota?

Hi, the battery for my original key died so I replaced it and it lights up when I press the buttons but it doesn’t actually work. I tried this method with just that original key and the doors cycled twice at the end, I know it was a long shot for it but do you have any suggestions?
Hmmm....I'm assuming you did use the original key (as opposed to it having been stowed in a drawer somewhere). Because what you're describing sounds like the original key got deleted from the car's computer; either that or the light works but the emitter doesn't. Before jumping to any other conclusions, I would suggest carefully starting over and making sure you go through the steps one more time. Let me know what happens and I'll try to help if I can.
@@DIYDaveOK Thank you! I tried the method in the video multiple times and it does the same thing. I believe it is that the original key was deleted because the battery was dead for a while.
@@karlacampos694 Hmmm.....Normally the key even if dead would have to have it's "space" in the computer removed/deleted and unless you (or someone else ) had other keys programmed in, that's kinda unlikely.

Very informative! I would like to ask sir the mhz of corolla 2008-2011, it is the model before yours, are they the same mhz? Mine wasn't working when it got chipped by the locksmith to fit it in another fob, planning to order thru online shopping.
Now that one I just don't know. I know Toyota changed remote key systems over four or five generations so I suspect it is reasonable to assume frequencies changed, but I don't know that for a fact. You could keep the same frequencies but encode different information that makes the two systems mutually exclusive.
Is there any way to turn off the wireless remote to a 2018 Toyota Corollahas somebody has gained access to the remote code and locks and unlocks it randomly
Wow, Bruno, that's a bad situation to say the least! What I think you might have to explore is the possibility of having ALL the remote keyless fobs erased from your vehicle's computer memory and having new keys programmed. Ordinarily, this requires access to the OEM's systems to have a new internal "master key" created for your vehicle, and usually that kind of access is limited to only certified locksmiths (or, of course, dealerships). There are some third-party tools that can accomplish this as well, but I have no personal experience with *complete key erasure* and ground-up reprogramming. Exercise caution and good luck!

Hello, I have a 2010 Corolla and the center lock does not work in it. After I washed the interior with water, I tried all the methods and it does not work. How can I solve this problem, please help
When you mean the "center lock," could you describe a bit more what you mean? If something like a lock stopped working after water was involved, a short sure seems likely, but if you could give me a bit more detail maybe I could be more helpful
Yes, after washing it with water, the center lock became not working or working sometimes, and some of them did not work. I checked the base of the fuses that are located under the steering wheel and did not find any damage.
In addition to the security lamp that is located under the radio recorder is working
@@ItsNoxs_ Well, it's a little difficult to be sure, but it sure sounds to me like the washing/cleaning effort has probably caused some water to intrude into a connector controlling the affected lock. Finding the connector and opening it up to inspect for water intrusion is probably the best path I can suggest at this point. I'm still not entirely sure what you mean exactly by "center lock."
@@DIYDaveOK I mean the control remote or a security in the car and when i find the connecter
For my own (and others) reference:
1. Open drivers side door
2. Insert and remove original key into ignition twice
3. Close and open driver's door twice
4. Insert and remove good key into ignition once
5. Close and open driver's door twice again
6. Put key into ignition
7. Close drivers door
8. Turn key from off to on to off 1 time
9. remove key, locks should cycle
10. Hold the lock and unlock button for 3 seconds on the new key
It would be great if the directions referred to good key and new key...do you ever put the new key into the ignition?
Hi
I followed all the steps and it worked on the spare key, BUT my original key lost the lock/unlock features..... I followed the steps again to program the original key and the keys (lock/unlock) worked again BUT unfortunately the spare key lost the features this time.
What am I missing? It seems like I can only program one key at a time, how can I make both keys to work?
Thanks in advance!!!
Hey I have the same issue rightt now, did you end up finding a fix to make both work?
I have a fix for this issue. Instead of turning off and on twice , only do it once. doing it twice wipes the other remotes from the registry.
Is this only to open and close but not to turn on the car? I am sorry lol I'm confused!!
Hi Lucero! This part of the video is for programming the buttons on the fob.
Does it matter what key fob you purchase?
You must buy the fob that is associated with the specific year and model of your vehicle. That is the only way to ensure the car and fob are transmitting/receiving on the correct frequency and using the right signals.
Hey good day dave i got my fob to a cycle but it still doesnt work to lock and unlock
Hi Johnny! The steps can be *very* finicky in some cases. What year/type of vehicle are you working with? Thanks for watching!
Is there any secrets using the key fob? On other cars holding down a certain button can bring the windows down?
Everything works until I get to the 11th step & once I hold down the lock & unlock button for 3 seconds it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Hmmm... Not quite sure on that, Joy. My first thought (well, guess) is that perhaps you're not holding the button long enough. Let me do a little thinking and see if I can come up with a better idea.
Where do u get the car cut can u buy a blank key then go to homedepo and give them the key to just cut it
Places like Home Depot and Ace Hardware typically won't cut keys you don't buy there with their "system." You'll need to go to a private local locksmith, at least that's my experience.
May I have the link to the 1st part, please?
Great video, instructions are clear. Was able to program my dads 09 Corolla in a few minutes.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Did you need a lock smith to program the key?
Hey Kevin sosa I also have a 09 Corolla what key fob did you use ?
@@lucero3900 sorry just saw this. No I was able to do it myself.
I did it , it did unlocked the doors but it won’t start the car what did I do wrong ?
🤣🤣🤣 why does this seem like we're just putting on a crazy show for our neighbors! But.... im going to try it...
WOWWWWW THANKSSSSSSSSS I FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTION I WATCH YOUR VIDEO AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY THANK YOU VERY MUCH 👋 FROM PUERTO RICO🇵🇷🌴
Awesome!! So glad it helped you! Thanks for watching!
How can we unlock just the drivers door 1st on 1st click. Then all 3 other door on 2nd click. For safety reasons of a lone driver running to car and a chaser trying to beat them to the car on passenger side. Is their a way to program the key to open only the drivers side 1st on 1st click? If i cant have the 2nd click to opem passengers sides. I hopeing at least i can get to drivers side and just unlock them from inside car. I'm talking women getting off work heading to car and a stranger approaching her from the otherside as she is walking to her car alone at night. She'd want just the driver side to open to get in lock her side, start it and go.
Thank you i appreciate your knowledge sir.
That kind of unlock customization isn't controlled by the key fob; it would be something that a system called the Body Control Module would have to be programmed to do. Now on the other Toyota products I own, the unlock behavior you describe is the default, so I'm surprised you are experiencing different behavior.
What could the issue be if it cycled 3 times and didn’t work???
First times the charm. Thanks!!!
