What do I do if doesn't accept the programming? I went through the whole process five times. No matter how many times I go through step 6, it cycles through LOCK-UNLOCK twice and rejects the remote.

I need it for 2009 toyota matrix

[@santhinathan4951]

Is it possible the car is not made to have programming mode? 2005 matrix Trd, lock won’t cycle to show it has entered programming mode

[@PYR-Auto]

It may not have the factory keyless entry option. You can verify that by calling a Toyota Dealership's Part's Department with your VIN number. They can look up the original build sheet for the vehicle to see what options it has

[@MotuDaaduBhai]

Works out for 2009 as well

[@elchelevalladares5039]

Thamks i did it!

[@PYR-Auto]

Great!

[@Ed-d888]

Thank you, I was able to programmed my 2 FOB keys at the same time. I do have one question, I am able to unlock and lock all doors from my two new FOBs, but It won’t let me start the ignition with the new keys. Any ideas?

[@PYR-Auto]

This procedure only programs the remotes not the keys - the keys will require a locksmith or automotive dealership to be programmed.

[@akhtarkamal9255]

Hi, this method works for Toyota Matrix 2012?

[@PYR-Auto]

No - unfortunately there is no manual way to program a fob for a 2012 matrix

[@patresaplus3274]

Does this work even if i dont have a remote already programmed?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes - but the vehicle needs to have the factory remote option

[@lynndesaire8723]

You mean "close & open the door" door is already open.

[@dantemonsalve3357]

Can you program a matrix control to a different Toyota car?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yeah - if the other vehicle uses the same remote

[@sonsabiscuiteaters5913]

So i successfully complete the reprogramming sequence, however my lock button still won't respond otherwise. Everything else is fine and it responds during programming, but not after sequence is over. What might be my issue?

[@PYR-Auto]

I can't say for sure but it sounds like the remote itself might be your issue.

[@sonsabiscuiteaters5913]

Ahh you have to make sure all doors are completely closed. I walked around to the passenger side to grab my sockets to disconnect the battery, noticed the passenger door was slightly cracked open. It worked as soon as I shut the door lol

[@PYR-Auto]

Cool, glad you got it figured out

[@sonsabiscuiteaters5913]

Yeah thanks for the help man!

[@dangeroustoys6980]

Will this work on a 2010 Matrix? Wife just lost a key and our local dealer wants $400+ to replace the key!

[@PYR-Auto]

No, unfortunately there is no manual procedure for a 2010 Matrix. Its still going to be expensive, but an automotive locksmith should be cheaper than the dealership

[@luengorodrigo]

It works for a Toyota Matrix 2009? Thanks!!!
