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:
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
