There are videos on YouTube that show how to program the immobilizer key by the following sequence:
Start with doors closed
Insert/remove a good key in ignition 5 times
Insert key 6th time and leave key in ignition
Open/close doors 6 times
Remove key. Security light should come on and stays lit
Insert new key. Security light starts blinking
After about 60 seconds light goes out. Key is programmed.
I tried this sequence on my 2007 and 2009 RAV4s. Nothing. The videos I've found were for Scions and Siennas.
Should this work on the RAV4? Or is there another dance for this?
The fob programming sequence shown for the Scions and Siennas worked on the 2009. (Didn't try the 2007).
Start with driver door open.
Insert/remove key twice
Close/Open door twice
Insert key, close door
turn key to "On", but don't start car. Turn back to off, remove key
At this point, if you did it right, the locks will cycle.
On the NEW fob you're trying to program, push lock and unlock AT THE SAME TIME. Hold for two seconds, then release. Press lock button for about 3 seconds. Door locks will cycle. You're done.
