Do you think the dealer would do something like that for free (car is still under warranty) or i would have to pay a lot?

You'll have to pay. You're adding a key, nothing about that is under warranty.

It'll pop just as it would if you were standing behind it and using your hand to disengage the lock on it.

If you want it to pop and fully open on its own then you're looking into actuators and more

More money than if you did it yourself using the instructions you essentially posted on the 1st page.

You're not reading what he is saying, you shouldn't need to cut the transmitter out

1. Order key fob
2. Went to Lowes to get it cut and they cut it for free since I brought my own key...Home Depot wouldn't cut it...they were afraid of messing something up.
3. Came home and programmed the lock/unlock function

I didn't have to remove a chip but you would or you can go to the dealer and have the chip in the switchblade programmed.

Its 49.99 to program a key at the dealer, just called them. He sounded ____ed when i told him all i wanted to do is cut and program a blank key. Probably because a new key cost 213 hahahaha

I said what I mean and I mean what I said. I don't have to get keys programmed.

DIY all the way, $49.99 is almost as much as the blank itself. I would only get it programmed if you need the other key s a spare, otherwise cut the chip out of it and replace it in the new switchblade

There is no difference between this and the key you have now besides it being black and a toyota symbol on the back. Switchblade all the way.

WTF......stop asking me am I sure. You say you read it all but still find it necessary to ask the same question I already answered. There are no difference in the keys from an 05+, buy a key, get it cut, program the transponder.

I wouldn't have gave you guys the link if I had not done it and it did not work.
The features work fine. You program it using the directions that it comes with it isn't hard. I can't hold your hand every step of the way, its a key for goodness sake.

There are four different modes you can use to program remote door lock functions.

Confirmation mode allows you to check the number of transmitters recorded.
Add mode allows you to add a transmitter without disturbing existing transmitters.
Rewrite mode allows you to replace all existing transmitters with new ones.
Prohibition mode erases all transmitters and turns off the remote door lock function.


Confirmation mode. To check for the number of remotes programmed into the car:

Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.

1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF three times, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves at about 2 second intervals. The number of times that the doors lock is the number of remotes that are programmed into the car. If the car locks/unlocks 5 times, there are no codes registered.


Add mode. To add a remote without disturbing existing remotes:

Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.

1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves once.

7. Within 40 seconds, press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time and release.
8. Within 3 seconds, press either switch and release.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves once if the registration was successful. They will lock and unlock twice if the registration failed.

9. If you have other remotes to program, go back to step 7 within 40 seconds.
10. Insert the key in the ignition or open a door to complete registration.


Rewrite mode: To erase all remotes and add new ones:

Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.

1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF twice, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves twice, indicating that you are in rewrite mode.

7. Within 40 seconds, press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time and release.
8. Within 3 seconds, press either switch and release.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves once if the registration was successful. They will lock and unlock twice if the registration failed.

9. If you have other remotes to program, go back to step 7 within 40 seconds.
10. Insert the key in the ignition or open a door to complete registration.



Prohibition mode: To erase all codes and disable wireless door lock function:

Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.

1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF five times, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.

The doors will lock and unlock themselves 5 times at about 1 second intervals.
