Video tutorial

This video shows you how to program the key for a Toyota Corolla. The same procedure applies to the Auris, Yaris, and Hilux.

Ensure all doors are closed: only open the driver's door. Insert the ignition key into its slot without turning it, twice in succession.

Now, open and close the driver's door twice in succession, and insert the key into the ignition again without turning it. Repeat the sequence of opening and closing the driver's door twice, and insert the key into the ignition without turning it. Close the driver's door and insert the key into the ignition.

Turn it without starting the engine, then remove the key again.

At this point, the locks will cycle, indicating that the vehicle is in programming mode. Press the unlock and lock buttons on the remote together for 3 seconds, then release them simultaneously.

If programming is successful, the door locks will unlock; otherwise, you will need to repeat the process. Finally, open and close the driver's door to complete the operation and test the effect achieved.
