How to Program a Toyota Key Fob

Replacing your Toyota key fob? If you drive a Toyota model with power locks and doors, any replacement keys will require reprogramming in order to work with your vehicle.

Fortunately, the process is fairly quick and easy. Don’t get stranded in Evergreen Park without a working key!
