How do I program a keyless entry remote on a TOYOTA?

Question

I own a 2001 Toyota Camry LE with a factory installed keyless entry system. My remote no longer works and replacing the battery didn't help. I have a new remote but it needs to be programmed. I was told this is fairly easy and can be done at home. When I googled it, all I found was the instructions on how to program a Honda remote. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

I was a service manager for Toyota for about 3 years...2001 being one of those years..

timing is everything on that remote...it may take you several attempts but it does work.

2001 Camry Keyless Remote Programming
1. Start with
a. No key in ignition
b. Driver's door unlocked
c. All other doors locked
d. Driver's door open
2. Insert key into ignition and remove
3. Press lock, pause, unlock (2 second total cycle) 5 times
4. Close, then open driver's door
5. Repeat lock, pause, unlock cycle 5 additional times
6. Insert key into ignition and turn from lock to "on" two
times (pause in
each location 1 second). (note: "ON" not accessory position)
7. Remove key from ignition
Locks should cycle twice. If not, start over.
8. Press lock and unlock buttons on transmitter
simultaneously for 1-2
seconds then release
9. Press lock and unlock buttons on transmitter again
simultaneously
for 1-2 seconds then release
10.Press lock alone for 1 second, then release
Locks should cycle once
11. Close Driver's door to exit program mode.
If you want to program more than one remote, repeat steps 8 - 10 with the second remote before finishing with #11.

Go slower on each step rather than faster and you
will have
better luck.

Answer 2

Its not real easy
you have to get the car into a program mode
its like insert the key 2 times , open and close the door 2 times the the key thing again and then the door , its a night mare and the timing has to be just right , you can try but even with detailed instruction i have seen techs that cant do it . you have to get the timing just right . good luck but it will be easier to just pay a dealer to do it don't let them charge you over 1/2 hour labor that's all we charge.about 40 dollars.
