Default Programming keyless entry for an 05 tC

Has anyone programmed a keyless remote for an 05 tC? I just got a RKE from OriginalKeyless.com and can't get it to work. Here are the instructions they gave me:

1. Start with the following conditions: You are in the drivers seat-
a. Key is out of the ignition
b. Driver door is open (all other doors closed)
c. Driver door is unlocked (other doors don't matter)
2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition twice within 5 seconds
3. Close and open the drivers door twice within 40 seconds
4. Insert the key into the ignition and remove it.
5. Close and open the drivers door twice within 40 seconds
6. Insert the key into the ignition
7. Close the door
8. Turn the key in the ignition on and then off.
9. Remove the key from the ignition
10. The power locks should automatically cycle once to indicate that you have successfully entered program mode.
11. Within 40 seconds of the entering program mode:
a. Press both transmitter lock and unlock buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY for a duration of from 1 to 1.5 seconds.
b. Within 3 seconds, press the transmitter lock button for more than 1 second and release.
c. If the transmitter has been successfully programmed, the power locks will automatically cycle once. If they cycle twice, the remote has not been accepted.
d. If multiple remotes are to be programmed, repeat steps A-C
12. Open drivers door
I can get the car to cycle the locks on step 10, but the steps after that do nothing. My guess is that the keyless has dead batteries, but how can I check? There are no screws I can see. Do you just pry the thing apart?

fyi, I bought the car used about a month ago and it didn't come with a RKE.

I asked originalkeyless these same questions but haven't heard back...

Thanks for your help!!

does the light turn on the RKE when a button is pressed...?

you know the RKE is built into the tC keys correct? if you just got a fob... then i'm thinking you didn't get the right one.

There is no light on the RKE. It is separate from the key, like the xAs.

I thought that 05 tCs were separate and not the key itself like the newer ones. I even asked the dealership around here (Ed Morse Toyota) before I tried the programming and they confirmed it.

If not then there is some buuuuuuuuulll____ going on and originalkeyless needs to stop selling this ish.

Here is the link I bought the RKE from: http://www.originalkeyless.com/produ...productId=1905

yea.. you got scammed...
that's for the xA and 1st gen xB

the FCC ID# and IC number are NOT for the tC

and yes, the RKE is inside the oem tC master keys.

FCC ID #: MOZB41TG
IC: 2584A-B41TG

hope you can get a refund
