Ebay is a real pain in some instances. I have this Honda Pilot part that's been sold and returned to me twice already, me eating the postage. Same thing with a cell phone. In the long run, it's well worth the occasional issue. May not be the case once China economic warfare kicks in. We'll likely end up making everything here (homeland security). On another note, I'm looking further into the auto-lock feature on the car, just for peace of mind. All of the customization between me and locksmiths may have interefered with settings. I had deleted trouble codes, may have messed with other settings. The radio appears to have many adjustments there.

For the record, Auto relock feature:
found this here on another thread:

"The car is NOT that smart, not yet lol!
If I understand it correctly, this is how it works:
1) You unlock the door/s
2) Never open the door/s
3) Car will auto lock itself after certain time"

I dont know if the 4.4 has auto locking but the 4.3 doesn't. I had to get an adapter for them to lock after 10mph.

Successfully programmed both $20 China keyfobs after correcting transponder chips. The bare key and separate remote should arrive another week or so (China). I'm thinking the failed OEM remote has a bad capacitor, as I always use the double click to unlock everything 4 times daily. Will now try and find farad value on the fat one: https://fccid.io/GQ4-52T/Internal-Photos/internal-photos-1643332

Hopefully you gave the ebay seller a NEGATIVE REVIEW for selling you JUNK and letting others know not to buy from him! I never buy the cheapest of anything unless its a brand name I know of and trust the seller!

Bad thing about negative reviews is that what goes around comes around. Only way to make that work is to do it on the very last hour of the 90 day feedback limit so that he can't hit me back.

How can he hit you back when he sold you something that wasn't as advertised? Anyway its up to you what you want to do.
Sex, lies, and videotape: Best thing to do is to always try and work things out through him and/or Ebay. When I was new to Ebay, 1990s, I left neg review and was threatened with lawsuit. I ended up getting Ebay to retract it.
 
Hey how do you know you key is GQ4-52T? My key does not have any number on its back. I have a 2017 Rav 4 le which was manufactured in Canada. It does have an H stamped on the key. I am trying to figure the key fob number to order such wanted to be sure before I order.
 
Open up the remote. It might be on the inside cover


Open keyfob

Like i said it's your money. If you don't mind getting ripped off then it on you.

Typically you two can always work things out; whole or partial refund, or exchange. One example was the Toyota mvci cable that came with techstream cd, seller refunded 100% and told me to keep the merchandise simply because the v11 included didn't work at all with the 2016. Still ended up losing about three days work until I finally discovered the v10 trick. I've got a new issue where a China buyer was booted just after I had paid for a different Toyota key trick kit that I no longer need. Will wait a few weeks to see if merchandise arrives. If not then Ebay will refund (one phone call). I will soon have 5 working keyfobs (spent around $100 for the 4 additional). regards....
 
if you use the " TS LOADER" on your current working Techstream version you can download V14.20.019 here and it works. I THINK ITS THE LATEST VERSION


 
Hey what cable would you recommend me to buy? This is the cheapest I could find that gave me the latest version and the cable along with the key.



I also ordered 2 sets of key
One from amazon
One from Ebay

I'll be recieving everything by this monday and would be trying to program the same.The flip key has arrived and it looks cool.
I have a 2017 rav 4 LE
