Looks like this is what I need to do:

ok .then the only thing else I can suggest is you try a different version of techstream. Make sure you dont have all the keys in the car at once

where was your car MADE ? Canada or Japan

first letter of your VIN NUMBER

2 = Canada

J = JAPAN

 

[eastm]

Canada, and thanks. Called locksmith and it's $70 to program a blank chip to Toyota; and so instead i'm going to buy a $8 OEM Toyota H Blank key to break it open and take the Toyota ready H chip. Insanity, for sure, but problem solved.

Did the locksmith say that would work? Doesnt your new keys have the H chip already in it? Did you try with another version of techstream.

 

[eastm]

Keys came with an H chip, or should I say blank H compatible chip (blank, uncoded). Toyota OEM H key will come H encoded, problem solved.

 

[@2011rav4]

Good luck. Let us know how it goes. It may help someone else in the future. List where and how much the blanks costs.Will you still need to use techstream

The Ebay seller below assures me that I'm on the right track, meaning that the blank H chip is the problem where the chip has to be pre-coded specifically for year/make/model and then registered into into the vehicle ECU. Pre-coded 2016 Rav4 LE H chip here is $12; or two for $18 (blanks are $1); and I'll let you guys know how this turns out:

So aggravating when someone is asked two or three or four questions in an email or thread and then only answers one of them!!

Well, I tried to get the Ebay keyfob seller to make things right. He gave me the okay to return for full credit, 2 new aftermarket keyfobs for $40, but I'm going to try and find legit transponder chips first. I can program them into the car, myself, once that's resolved.

Something else might interest you guys is that I found LED headlight kit, fanless, both sides, for $17 with shipping. Super bright blue white, 10x better than the original incandescent bulbs: THESE ARE LED (DIODES), AND SO YOU HAVE TO PLUG THEM IN CORRECT POLARITY OR THEY WONT LIGHT UP (REVERSE THE PLUG IF THEY DON'T LIGHT UP): https://www.ebay.com/itm/122958342500

PS: Hoping this'll work on the Toyota H Key...

 

[eastm]

I"m going to try and repair the old keyfob. RF meter, it sends very faint weak signal or transmission. Capacitor maybe, but it's freaking microscopic. Here's some pics:

I thought you were going to change the transponder chips in the new remotes?

 

[devthedev]

Hey, I am trying to get a new toyota rav 4 le duplicate key. Mine is made in canada too. I do have a working key, just want one more, was wondering what would you recommend for me to order?

 

[@2011rav4]

Find out what it says on the back of your remote. Or post a picture

 

[eastm]

My 2016 is the FCCID: GQ4-52T. Dealer sells it for $190+programming; and Ebay OEM Toyota starting around $60. The Ebay China knockoffs are $20 or so, and the main thing there is to make sure the transponder is programmed and not a $1 blank transponder which is what happened to me. China knockoffs are really shoddy, not worth the effort. From there, it's fairly easy to program, by either you or a locksmith. Popalock wanted $75 each and Bulbs and Batteries charges $40 to cut and program. Key wont start the car at all until key's programmed transponder is registered into the car computer.

 

[@2011rav4]

1. You're the only one I've heard about who had trouble programming the transponder. Maybe you got a bad seller? Was he the cheapest one?

 

[eastm]

Yea, I ended up ordering correct transponder chips, not yet delivered. The China knockoff doesn't work so well for the double-press to unlock (needs 4 presses). Otherwise it's okay. The Ebay OEM refurbs are around $60, or so, and that seems to be the better way to go.

Curiosity, I also ordered a $25 kit with individual remote plus transponder key, just to compare (spare).

 

[@2011rav4]

Just remember you can only have so many remotes registered at one time. I think it's 5.

When you open the keyfob does it have the right 3 button module. I read on that page you listed someone had a problem because it had a 4 button module . they just didn't put the button on yhe remote.

Seller doesn't seem like the best one around.
