How to program key for SCION TC

[@1mikeyjg]

I cut the spare key for like 5 bucks at the Locksmith, followed the steps perfectly, worked without flaw for my 2010 4dr toyota yaris. Great stuff! Saved me hundreds

What is the location of the locksmith you went to?

Last year I thought I lost my keys to my Scion TC and had a new key made by a locksmith. After finding my old key a week later, I was carrying two keys (one to lock/unlock the car remotely, one to start it). With the help of your video, I was able to program my old key to my car again so now I only need my one original key! Thanks a ton for creating this video!

[@mohammadbehi9092]

Thank you so much the procedure worked very well. I used both videos to program my new key. but ACE wanted $176 to cut the blank key. I end up paying $80 to cut the key.

[@chocolate_squiggle]

When I inherited my deceased dads car he had a plain metal key that would fit locks but wouldn't start the car (immobiliser). He had the key-remote with buttons that unlocked doors but had a broken blade, and a concierge key with no buttons that started the car but made me think the boot lock was broken for the longest time. For 6 years I've used a plain metal key, but I have to first hold the door remote (with the snapped off blade) up to the ignition barrel after insertion to disable the immobiliser. I've been meaning to buy a new blank master key and transplant the electronics from the broken one. But I'd still only have one proper key. Inspired by this video I've found a similar procedure for my Corolla - now to see if there's a similar key for sale :-) Will be nice piece of mind having two keys. Thanks for sharing.

[@rightlanehog3151]

I am so glad my factory-ordered 05 does not have power locks. I had an aftermarket alarm installed the day I got the car so I can use cheap keys forever.

[@mauriciogomez5167]

thank you, thank you, thank you... I was able to program the key right away. I am gonna have it cut probably this next saturday (1/30/21) but I am gonna go to a locksmith. I don't know if I would trust home depot to do it for me. I will let you know how the locking/unlocking programming works after that. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you...! I did purchase my key using amazon and it costed me $31.08 and it got delivered in 2 days...! My buddy told me he paid around $90.00 to go to a locksmith and have them find the right key and programmed it for him. (different vehicle though) by the way I owned a scion Tc 2007

[@hellraizer44]

OMG thank you! I lost my spare 2 years ago and the dealer said it would cost me $400 plus to get a replacement and reprogrammed.

Nice teaser at end...will keep watching regardless! Keep them coming

[@chocolate_squiggle]

That is price gouging on a whole other level. I'm aware some 3rd party keys use sub-standard metal that bend or twist easily, but come on, even the real deal shouldn't be anywhere near $200. And then trying to charge you to program it on top is utter greed. I don't begrudge a dealership workshop wanting to be profitable, but this is the reason people call them the stealership. In the past they've gotten away with this monopolistic price gouging.

Got it first try thank you! Now to just program the lock & unlock buttons!

Nice one... I have a 2000 Prado (In Australia) and it normally costs about $100AUD to get a 2nd key cut (Imobiliser only - no door unlocking button)

Please, tell us all about your Prado as it is a model name not used in our market.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

I bought a set off Amazon for my 2009 Camry. Local locksmith charged $40 programming and $5 cut. I wonder if this works for all Toyotas or just this type

[@anavan7]

Only time will tell if this programmable key will work in the long run. Some work right off the bat but then it completely doesn't work again, specifically for the door locking mechanism. Hopefully we will get an update after the following video on this.

[@ericp8345]

Worked just like you explained, thank you sir 🙏😊

[@adamn5821]

Do you know how many keys Toyota's will allow to be programmed to a single vehicle? I allready have 2, but want extras. I don't know how many my 2011 Corolla will allow.

[@lilymecham9514]

I bought the exact same key off eBay! I’m struggling now to get in programmed, I’ve tried so many times and it just won’t work. I have a 05 Scion tC, any tips and tricks? Does it not work after trying so many times?

[@naruto57able]

Great video! Very authentic stuff, I have an issues with my key “ red light flashing on the key, my door locks & unlock 4x in a row and I know that’s unusual behavior and it’s for Toyota fielder 2012. Base on this info what do you think might be the issue “ original key” your feedback is greatly appreciated sir!

[@markkarkalik6997]

I have a question... Well let me preface this question by saying that my original master key was stolen. Is there a way for me to get a new master key and make it so that the One that was stolen doesn't work for the car anymore? And is there a way to program a new key without the original master key? I suppose either option would suffice I just need to know is there a way to do any of this without the original master key?

[@hbond296]

You could try to swap the core, the one in the master key with one just programmed ( swapping the fob plastic cases) to ensure it did program well ( starting/running the engine) before doing the key cut.

[@D1I.]

Is the new key a master or valet key?

[@gopalagarwal4075]

[@MindsetMastery75]

You are very lucky because my local Ace Hardware won't cut it unless you buy the key from them. Also my local key cutting place wants 30.00 to just cut the key!!!

Does it matter if it has a hole on the back side of key.? Hole doesn't go through the whole key though, I noticed the keys they sell doesn't have it. Thanks in advance!

He left out the part where you shout out "Toyoda" on repeated opening of the door. Listen carefully, it was muted out.

Press on the brake pedal to reset the programming. Sometimes it's take me 3 or four tries before a new key will program. If nothing else take the car for a spin around the block. That will make sure the ECU is ready to program a new key.

[@thekeyman2372]

I am hoping you can help. I can not get 06 Scion tC to go into programming mode. I believe the previous owner bought and lost 4 key fobs from the dealer ship. The “master key” I have does not have keyless entry. It’s just a plain key. I tried the inserting/removing key 6 times and opening the door 7 times to erase all other keys and the light still will not stay on. Do you have any ideas? Other than going and paying the dealer a fortune? Thanks for any help!!

[@chocolate_squiggle]

TL;DR ---> It sounds like you have a 'concierge' key and not a master key. Long version: I have a NZ 2002 Corolla (always referred to as 2003-2008 in the US for some reason) - the master key with the door buttons does everything - ignition, doors, and rear boot (trunk). But I have a second key like you describe, grey not black, no buttons at all. It's a rather large, permanently moulded one-piece grip around a metal blade. It has the proximity electrics inside that disables the immobiliser and allows the car to start, and the blade will manually open the drivers door too. But it will NOT unlock the rear boot. The owners manual refers to this as the 'concierge' key. It's a bit dumb because there is a boot opening latch in the drivers footwell that any concierge could use anyway - I don't know what they were thinking. But my point is that this key, which I think you have, does not have any buttons for keyless entry, and does not take any battery to operate the transmitter that would be required for keyless entry. So I don't think it's a master key capable of being used for programming other keys for keyless entry, and that's likely your problem. I don't have a Scion or I'd try enter programming mode with both types keys for you. Check your owners manual, or try to look one up online for your exact car - mine has a whole section on keys. And believe me I needed it :-)

[@thekeyman2372]

@@chocolate_squiggle I finally solved my issue. I had a valet key. Also, the previous owner had lost so many sets of keys the immobilizer wouldn’t allow any more to be programmed. So I had to erase immobilizer (all keys lost) and start fresh. However this is best thing that could have happened. It has gotten me into automotive locksmithing and in process of starting a business! So thanks lady who can’t keep up with her keys lol

[@powayimports4175]

People please don’t be fooled that a 14.00 key will always work as well as factory part. I’m not saying it can’t work but we deal with so many aftermarket key issues that we gave up on them. For a professional shop to say this is a normal way of doing things is just plain wrong. And if you do enough volume it will bite you in the rear. Just read the reviews on amazon and you will see all the stories...

[@jeff5279]

Those several hundred dollar keys that the dealer sell you are less than $20 in materials. Dealer's are THIEVES so telling me that I have to, enter that den of thieves and, take out a second mortgage on my house to buy a replacement for the key the tow-truck driver lost is unconscionable. Btw, you can call Toyota and get a customer service technician to walk you thru this very procedure. This shop owner didn't just pull this procedure out of his ass. I'll trust this guy any day before I'll trust a new or used car dealer. Oh, and regarding reviews on Amazon here's just one of my Amazon review stories. My wife bought me a smoker off of Amazon. Nice unit, well made. I read every single review of that smoker. One guy from New York complained vehemently about how he had to use some sort of high temperature seal to keep the smoke from leaking out. For the record, if the smoke doesn't escape it will displace all of the oxygen inside the grill/smoker/firebox and choke out your fire. You can't cook without heat so choking out your fire will leave you with raw meat. My point, and his isn't the only absurd review that I have read on Amazon, is that there are a lot of peope who buy from Amazon. It seems that more than a few of them are dumbasses who follow their purchase up with reviews that shine an embarassing light on their own stupidity. So, Amazon reviews isn't always a good barometer of the quality of a product. As always, do your own research and make an informed decision.
