How To - DIY Toyota Key Programming with the Autel AP200

We use the new Autel AP200 to program a spare ignition key for a Toyota Corolla - will it work? Check out this latest DIY video and you can save yourself literally HUNDREDS of dollars over what used to be a dealer-exclusive service. The AP200 is a bluetooth OBDII diagnostic tool with software to operate on Apple and Android platforms (sorry, no Windows version).
Used in the video:
Corolla remote/key: $49.95

I just used the Autel AP 200 and programmed a key for my 2017 Toyota Camry LE. It worked perfectly. The AP200 went through every step very easily. It Took less than 5 Minutes to complete. Thank you DIYdave for you awesome step by step instructions. I wanted to just let everybody Know that it works on Toyota's to at least 2017. This saved a lot money from having the dealer do it. They were going to charge $400 to program 1 key. This only cost $55 for the AP200, $49.95 for the key and $3.00 to have it cut. Doing it yourself is actually fun to do. Thank you DIYDave. I forgot to say that i had the physical key. No Smart key on The LE.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Awesome! Great to hear success stories!

[@TyrantPanda]

Where did you purchased your key? Not sure if I'm having a key issue or a Autel issue. I've bought many keys and returned them because I keep getting a "error key registration"

[@DIYDaveOK]

I buy all my keys at CarAndTruckRemotes.com (not a sponsor)

[@DIYDaveOK]

That error typically refers to a problem detected by the immobilizer (ECU) in the car saying it cannot register the key because it cannot *validate* that key. That normally suggests the firmware in the key has been erased or corrupted.

[@paulgill7222]

Thanks, I just bought the Ap200 and successfully programmed 2 keys for my 2011 Toyota Rav4 (got a set of two keys from eBay for $28 canadian). I followed your instructions and was pleasantly surprised when both keys started the vehicle. Thanks a million.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Fantastic!!! I had been concerned that more recent versions of the AP200 had changed, but it's great to hear of your success! Thanks for sharing!!

[@paulgill7222]

Yes Dave, I think they got rid of the immo function in the newer ones. After reading many people having problems with the recent upgrades I looked and ordered the original ap200 from ebay. They are hard to get a hold of but I managed to get an unopened one. It arrived yesterday and within 2 hours I had the app downloaded, key cut, programmed and running the vehicle. My advice for others is to look for the original ap200 if they are interested in duplicating keys. Thanks again

[@camillom.3468]

Are your keys normal or smart keys?

[@DIYDaveOK]

All these programming notions apply to smart keys as opposed to conventional mechanical or "cut" keys.

[@LeeStaff-oe3wm]

Thanks Dave... your tutorial really helped... I already had the Autel AP200 for my Renault but recently bought a 2010 Toyota Yaris that only came with one key..I was able to order a key from a company online. they cut my key from a pic and supplied it with a transponder chip. I was then able to program the key after watching your video saving me a small fortune!.. many thanks and regards from the UK...😁

Wondering how this will do on the gen 2 Priuses? Would be handy to program a second key or possibly even more awesome would be having this cost effective tool for those who've lost their key as a service. Not sure if you need to be licensed however, guessing most likely. Still, amazing the price points for what can be done with these smartphone devices. I'm impressed so far as is when using with the gen 2's and thinking I better make some videos since I don't see any using the Autel MaxiAP AP200 for Priuses and I own gen 2 and gen 3 of em. Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with that generation IMMO, so I can't say with certainty if it would work, but it might be worth a try.

[@MikeM2000]

Unfortunately, this is a little misleading Dave. All is not as it seems. You forgot to mention that you need a MASTER KEY to carry out any reprogramming functions. Wasted my money on this only to find that out when it arrived. Otherwise, the video is clear and concise and you are to be congratulated for taking the time to record it. But please let others know that it needs the MASTER KEY>

Thanks, but please understand i just have what the dealer gave me when I bought the car from the used car lot. Not even sure what "master key" might mean other than one of the two *original keys* that shipped with the car from the manufacturer.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Not sure, because each car's key programming system is different from every other's. Some put a lot more security on top of the process and not every tool knows how to get through it. You can contact Autel directly and ask them if that specific model is supported. Thanks for watching!

Hi Ralph - no, the AP200 is *not* a bi-directional scanner. And, sadly, Autel never resolved my issue. I ended up having to program another key with Techstream on my laptop. That said, I have received a firmware update for the AP200, but I have no need to program another key for it :(

[@jon44602]

You should be able to as best I can assess. Thanks for watching!

[@johnbod]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. Unfortunately it looks like Autel may have since removed the IMMO tool from the AP200 so this is no longer possible, but if anyone can double check this I would love to know. Hopefully an option like this comes up with a similarly priced product.

[@DIYDaveOK]

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, it seems that Autel has changed the AP200 and has at a minimum may have moved IMMO functions into a separate subscription product. I have not needed to program a key recently, but I will be looking at whether the functionality of *my* AP200 has changed, and whether another tool, like ThinkDiag, can accomplish the same thing. Thanks for watching! *Edit* The AP200 advertised on Amazon still *appears* to advertise IMMO capability. I'll have to see if mine still offers it after the latest firmware upgrades. Thanks for the heads up!

If you have a 2013 Toyota with a smart key (i.e. push button start) and a 2019 Lexus with a smart key, can you program the Toyota's key to the Lexus's immobilizer so that you can start either car with just one key? I hate having to carry both keys with me.

[@DIYDaveOK]

I honestly don't know, AK. My guess is that it might be possible, but there's also a strong possibility the emitters for the different lines operate a different frequencies and thus won't be interchangeable. Great idea to try, though!!

For the process I undertook, you had to have one original key.

[@adrianirons9942]

Hello, Nice video.. Can you provide the exact model number so I can go ahead and purchase it from Amazon. Appreciate it 👍

[@miscgloryofficial4527]

Question 🙋: if we make a copy as the video, or, if we have a master key and make a duplicate of the transponder via brake pedal method etc, will this effectively make “another” master key transponder ? So that if that original was lost and this copy was all that was left it would still enable a new copy thereafter ?

[@miscgloryofficial4527]

Does that heart ❤️ mean yes?

[@DIYDaveOK]

My best understanding is the process here doesn't *copy* a key, but simply adds *another* key to the IMMO list of *valid* keys. I further believe you could use a key created with this process as the base for *another* key based on my experience with a different Toyota product not in this video. Thanks for watching!

You also get a decent OBD2 Scanner as well. also the price can drop as low as $35 at time of this comment. The only question I have is does it also program the remote unlock/lock function or just the immobilizer ignition lock?

[@DIYDaveOK]

To be honest, the AP200 has changed so much since I got mine I'm not sure what they offer any more. They put a lot of features behind a subscription paywall, I think.

[@UniVerseBlend47]

Sir with your instructions I am able to enter safe mood but my car keeps locking and unlocking when I press and hold lock and unlock.

[@jjrock5]

Will the AP200 also program the lock/unlock buttons on the new key? Thanks.

[@DIYDaveOK]

You typically don't have to use a separate to for that. I can't swear this is true for all models, but you should at least look for *fob* programming sequences for your cars lock/unlock functions that don't require an OBD tool.

[@DIYDaveOK]

No. The AP200 does not have that capability. Wish it did!!

[@stephenmorton6674]

Are there different versions or ap200 available ? Autelstore.co.uk state that it does not support key programming or injector programming. Please help.

[@DIYDaveOK]

A couple of things come to mind, Stephen. First, I believe Autel has changed the AP200 since I made this video, so it's entirely possible some functions have changed. Also, I believe I have seen that some features may only be available with separate payments, which is very different from the situation on *my* AP200. Lastly, there may also be hardware and/or software changes or differences for models sold in the UK. I hope that helps!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Tedybear315]

Side bar notes for some of the questions: The dodge garage wanted $55 to program all the keys for the ones I purchased. The newer systems when you go to a dealership will overwrite (this is for Dodge, not sure about other brands). The newer cars once connected to the dealership tool(s) will over write the current 4 PIN code that came with the car/truck. It will then give a 24hr unlimited use 4 digit pin code for setting up new keys/fobs. This really sucks as a DIY'er I like to have that option if we lost a key or had a generic one fail. (as a side: I use KeylessCanada for keys and fobs..Personal preference) A decent locksmith can retrieve the 4 digit pin code out of the immobilizer and not reprogram it with a 24hr code. Our local locksmith charges $50 + tax to pull the 4 digit code. At the same time he programmed 1 KEY only! The guy was super cool to deal with, and he stated "Sense I"m already pulling the PIN for your car? I'll do the 1 key as a courtesy". I had him cut the door key on one of the fob's ($9.00) He did us a solid, and he deleted all the key's for the car and setup the factory key and 1 replacement. We have an idiot a few cities over that still has a working key...or he HAD a working key! Long story short, I have the factory 4 digit pin code to use with the Autel/Walmart scan tool. It will not reset or turn into a 24hr code like the dealership was going to do. I was amazed when the dealership stated it's now a 24hr code if they do it! I asked "Come on, what's the first thing a buyer will toss out or lose within a few days of buying a car? It's always the PIN/Key Code and the stupid code for the Radio!" This tool is decent. I wish it had bi-directional controls, that would have put it over the top. But it can read the modules in the car and that's 100% better then the generic eOBD/OBD tools that sell for either the same amount or MORE! Quite a few dealerships will refuse to work with a customer using generic key's. It's decent to get the pin code for DIY'ers sense the generic fobs/keys have a limited lifespan. (Usually about 3 years. But then you do get what you pay for! Factory Dodge Key programmed would be about $350-$400 bucks--and will last the life of the car/truck....Having the pin code and this tool? I can simply go back into the eBay store and buy another one for under $20 bucks and program it myself.

[@DIYDaveOK]

The best I can honestly offer is it *might*. I'm going to make an educated guess that it is more likely to work than not since the Toyota IMMO function is very similar within lines. Autel markets the AP200 under the "Maxi" name, but do be aware some have reported that later versions of the AP200 don't have the key programming function anymore.

@@DIYDaveOK I did not know the existence of this device even I've been in the business for 36 years ..... as I already lost a system that was taken be one of my employees that never returned then I had to rebuy a new system before my insurance would reinvest me then insurance going up .... just trying to find a more affordable tools that I can provide my employees just incase they walk away too.

SWITCH ON!! Not start the car. Switch on means turn it to the 2nd position

How did you pair the remote?

[@DIYDaveOK]

The pairing happens when you first plug in the AP200 and then fire up the app the first time. You have the app scan for the VCI interface (look in the upper-right corner of the app screen), and when it scans, eventually it will find it and tell you it's paired. A green check mark will appear in the "VCI" box. Thanks for watching! Hope this helps!

@@DIYDaveOK HI there, thank you for taking out time to reply to my query, but I think you misunderstood my query. My query was how do you program car remote to lock and unlock the car using AP200!

[@DIYDaveOK]

@@funksobravo1 My apologies! For the Corolla I used in the demo, I didn't have to use the AP200. I used a manual programming sequence in the "Part II" portion of the video. In general, remotes that unlock doors or open the trunk but don't start the car can be programmed without a special tool. Remote start (keyless) fobs and keys themselves are generally going to need to be programmed with a tool like the AP200 via the IMMO function. If you have a remote keyless entry that does require programming, the IMMO function is the first place I would check/try!

[@funksobravo1]

@@DIYDaveOK I bought AP200 to program my VW Polo 2013 key, but then it won't work! It says the function is not supported, whereas the autel vehicle support webpage stated that it does support immo function for my car!

[@DIYDaveOK]

@@funksobravo1 Man that is SO frustrating!! I had the same situation because the AP 200 would not program a keyless start fob for my 2015 Lexus ES 350. I opened up a support case back to Autel for it, and they agreed it should work, but it wouldn't, and they never could give me a reason why, assuming a bug in the firmware. That's why I mentioned in the video it didn't always work. I also tried using the SAS reset in the AP200 on my '08 Sienna, but it wouldn't work on a car of that age. You can turn on the logging function while trying to program the key, you can send that to Autel - and I certainly would at least contact the vendor or Autel and ensure the function should be supported, and have them find out why! If it's not, consider returning it. I am thinking about doing a separate overview video on the AP200 pointing out these strengths and flaws. It's a good tool, but has gaps and issues! Let me know what you find out! *Edit* I do think some VW vehicles have special issues about key programming. If I find out more detail on this I will definitely let you know!!

[@kguemraoui998]

The key started the car before you program it 🤔

[@DIYDaveOK]

Well, no, it didn't...it was a blank key.

[@RetroComplex]

Sadly it asking for a pin

[@DIYDaveOK]

That is normally associated with programming an *initial* key into the system. For Toyotas, they imprint that PIN on a small metal punch out with one of the two original keys shipped with the car, which are supposed to be delivered to the retail purchaser. Sometimes the dealer conveniently "forgets" and you have to wheedle them to give it to you. For normal spare programming, a PIN shouldn't be needed. What kind of car is this?

[@DIYDaveOK]

@@RetroComplex Ugh unfortunately I have no information at all on any Jeep products, but asking for a PIN is *almost* certainly associated with master key programming. If you are the original owner or have any of the original documents, the PIN might be buried therein. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

[@DIYDaveOK]

A Jeep dealer could provide you with the PIN provided you offer the VIN and proof of ownership.

Where were you 2 weeks ago?? Tortures of the damned after losing my second key to my 2012 Rav4. Got an Amazon for 20 bucks, Ace cut it without charge or comment, paid a shop $125 to get it working with a Snap On scanner. Still trying the various dances to get the buttons to work, no success thus far.

Sorry, wish I could have been there for ya 😁!! Heck if you paid a shop to program it for you and it doesn't work, I'd be talking to them for sure!!
