How to program keyless entry remote for 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, tacoma, yaris & Matrix

In this video I will show you how to program a replacement keyless entry remote control for a 2005 Toyota Corolla. This should work on 2003 to 2008 Corollas. make sure you have the correct transponder model # GQ43VT14T . It is the FCC ID number but has to be same style since the same FCC ID is used for other Toyotas. I also got feedback from people watching my videos that these steps worked on their following cars Matrix / Tacoma / Yaris / Camry / Celica / Scion TC. So this may work on more models.
1. Start by sitting in the car with the key out of the ignition, Open drivers door. (step 2 and 3 has to be done within 5 seconds)
2. Insert the key into the ignition and Pull it out
3. Insert the key into the ignition and Pull it out
Perform these steps within 40 seconds. Drivers door is still open.
3. Close drivers door and open the drivers door.
4. Close drivers door and open the drivers door.
5. Insert the key into the ignition and Pull it out
6. Close drivers door and open the drivers door.
7. Close drivers door and open the drivers door.
8. Insert the key into ignition and leave it in ignition.
9. Close the drivers door.
10. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position and then to "OFF" position.
11. Pull out the key from the ignition.
** the power door locks should lock then unlock so you are in programming mode and ready to program the remotes. If this does not happen start again.
Remote programming has to be done within 40 seconds.
12 Press both the lock and unlock buttons on the remtoe for about 1 and 1/2 seconds then let go
13 Press lock button for 2 seconds and let go. The car doors should lock and unlock. If they do then you are ready to program the next remote.
14 Open drivers door to end programming mode.
Some models that this has worked on are Matrix, Tacoma, Yaris, Camry, Celica, Scion TC and model years were 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 and I think Someone had a 2010 but not sure anymore. Hope this has helped you and let me know if your car is not on this list.

I saw this video a week ago when I thought about ordering another keyless fob for my 2004 Toyota Corolla. I ordered it on eBay and it came in today. I just went out to my car turned on your video and followed your instructions exactly. Guess what? It worked perfectly. I am so happy. Very easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much! P.S. I am a 70-year-old woman. If I can do it, anybody can do it.

[@lll_cabo_624_lll3]

Before that did u have a keyless entry before programming the New one ?

[@Space_Roach]

​@@lll_cabo_624_lll3that's what I'm trying to figure out too

[@TanManFixes]

CLIFF NOTES: 1. Begin with the key out of the ignition. 2. OPEN and UNLOCK the DRIVER'S side door. CLOSE all other doors including the trunk. 3. Within 5 seconds INSERT the key into the ignition and PULL it out TWICE. 4. CLOSE then OPEN the DRIVER's side door TWICE. 5. Insert key INTO the ignition then REMOVE it. 6. CLOSE then OPEN the DRIVER's side door TWICE. 7. Insert the key INTO the ignition and LEAVE it in ignition. 8. CLOSE the DRIVER's side door. 9. Switch the ignition to ON then OFF. 10. REMOVE the key from ignition. 11. The door locks will now cycle to confirm the vehicle has successfully entered programming mode. 12. PUSH and HOLD the LOCK and UNLOCK button for 1.5 seconds on the first remote being programmed. As soon as you let go PUSH the LOCK button and HOLD it for 2 seconds.

[@funsofolorunso3497]

It worked! It worked!! Unbelievable!!! Bought two remotes on Amazon and was like what the heck, let me try one to see if the video holds water and now I've programmed both. Thanks

[@n2locarz1]

Shocked videos like this get negative reviews. Very well done! The guy explains and demonstrates it perfect.

[@valaverett9203]

I tried a couple other so-called Toyota 4runner Key fob programming, but your video is the only one that worked. Thanks...saved $30.00 bucks by not having the dealer do it.

[@jessiedeocares2591]

Thanks! It worked on the smart key I bought (from eBay) for my Toyota Corolla Verso 2007! For the step where ignition must be turned on without starting the engine, I just needed to quickly release the clutch pedal before the engine starts. Corolla Verso does not have a turnkey slot.

[@nfsamaan]

This also works for matrix. Mechanic confirmed.

[@ziapride]

what year matrix and dose your Glass Hatch button work

[@Goldise]

Honestly I’m impressed. Worked in first go! Just saved me 145€ to get a new key. Regards man

[@LatinoMilosc]

It worked for me. It takes less than two minutes to program it. I only paid $12 dollars on Ebay with shipping included for a used original Toyota control remote. Thank you.

[@arch420]

I thought this was a hilarious joke....but it worked. haha

[@terence73]

i was saying the same thing lol

[@ApexMotovlogs88]

Lmfao!!

[@saifal-jumaili2820]

Same 😂😂

[@STATIKLYFE]

😂😂😂

[@STATIKLYFE]

I just ordered them !! Hopefully I like it

[@yyib]

Thank you it worked after holding just the lock button for 3 secs after the car was ready video was helpful

[@MissJessica820]

Thank you so much for posting this video I recently bought a 2004 Toyota Corolla and the remote was no longer working so I bought a replacement remote on eBay which I got today and following all the steps in this video I got it to work.

[@SpiritualMinefield]

Your video was awesome...saved me some money. The way you did it was simple and easy. I took my phone to my car with your video playing and did everything you did and it worked. Thank you very much.

[@bahhaziz]

Thanks a lot. Did same exact steps on my 2003 Corolla replacement remote from eBay, and it worked 😎

[@uchennanneke]

Does your remote have the trunk opening key? Mine entered into programming mode but did not recognize the remote as lock and unlock was held simultaneously

[@bahhaziz]

​@@uchennannekemine doesn't have trunk button

[@musharrofhossain4735]

I saw this video yesterday .It was awesome. The way you explained was simple and easy. Your below description step by step was fantastic which give me more confident as well . I did program two car today Toyota 2007. Thanks a lot for making this video .

[@AdamBedz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@billbarron4862]

thank's Adam, i now have a new remote for my scion xb, so much easier to follow your narrative instead of reading.......the instructions

[@sethpin67]

Some progress - I got the doors to lock and unlock using a remote I'd just bought from a wrecker, but it won't get past the immobilizer. I'll keep looking and won't rule out a fault with the ignition transponder... thanks for uploading.

[@americansheepdog]

Hi Adam, I believe I figured it out, seems the red Security light is supposed to flash when the car is parked, its a security feature, to discourage someone from breaking in. So I can relax, it doesn't drain the battery and it is very noticeable and probably serves a good purpose. Thanks for helping us fix problems.

[@mustbthemusic]

Worked as described for me. Bought two off of Amazon for my 2004 Corolla. 5 minutes for two remotes. Many thanks.

[@sharkbait42010]

Oh My God!! It was so easy the way you showed. I cannot believe what the dealership wanted to charge for the exact same thing! Thank you soooo much!!!!

[@mydaddy5393]

Works for a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD. Doesn't work by doing the way other videos show by locking and unlocking the door 5 times in 2 cycles. Thank you!

[@jeepman012]

Great Video, shows the easiest way to program Toyota remote fob's, a lot better than the instructions on the web,, well done.

[@AdamBedz]

thanks for the feedback and for watching.

[@daviddelavega7554]

hi, i have two cars, a 2004 corolla le and a 2005 corolla ce. on the first one your instructions worked perfectly but on the second never reach the programming mode. any idea??? would really help me a lot!!!

[@bosschyck1981]

You are wonderful! I actually have a Scion TC 2006 and tried what the guy said on the Scion Tc video and he left out the step for leaving the key in and closing the door, before you switch it to the on position. I am so glad I tried this even though it was for the Toyota Camry. Thanks!

[@adeyemoazeez7296]

I try to program my Toyota corolla 2005 but the remote didn't program

[@Vizjaktar24]

Thank you so much! Never thought I would need this information, but I slowly lost my keys one by one 😅

[@hismusicnme]

I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix and the programming set up worked!... but as suspected, the old FOB is dead I think. I went through the process as instructed and the doors automatically locking and unlocking to indicate the program pairing mode was activated, but sadly my FOB would not respond. I think it’s the FOB. It hasn’t worked in a long while and I was hoping that maybe it just had become unpaired. Nope. That wasn’t it. Thanks for this useful info though! I’ll be using this when I buy a new FOB for sure.

[@yogighetto]

Thanks , it work for my scion XA. After trying other videos and instructions that did not work at all. Thank your a life saver the dealer would have charged me about 130.00 just to do this.thanks again.

[@whiskeyandashes]

This worked perfectly for my 2003 Toyota Camry LE, the remote that came with it and an old 2005 Toyota Corolla remote. Many thanks!

[@doors60]

Adam we are glad it worked too. My husband took his cell phone to the car and watched the video while following your steps. :)

[@doors60]

Hi thank you so much for this video. We followed your steps today and it worked!! Dealership wanted $180.00 for a new remote or if a new computer was needed 500.00 to 600.00. WE are back in business thanks to you :) :) :)

[@AdamBedz]

Wow that's kinda outrageous to even ask that much to do this. Glad to hear it worked.

[@dadomonte888]

This worked on my 2006 Toyota Yaris, European model. Thanks for uploading this video, it is easy to follow and there is no chance you could make a mistake. Thanks!

[@alucard7713]

Dude, you are AWESOME!!!! The dealer wanted to charge me $150 bocks.

[@AdamBedz]

glad to help and thanks for watching.

[@kristensoulfire3245]

Totally worked! 2004 Toyota Tacoma with 2 remotes purchased on eBay from "keylessking" for $30 with free shipping. I'm a happy gal!

[@prestontaylor517]

Putting it in programming mode is working but I can’t get the key fob to program

[@Southbaychief]

Wow! It worked! Thank you so much. I followed your directions just like you did and it worked like a charm. Big thumbs up to you and your video sir 👍

[@isaaczuniga5056]

hello, I've done what you have asked like 20 times! I made sure to follow each instruction precisely. I am having no luck with my 2006 taco. please someone, I really need some help.

[@aiden.hobbs77]

I have an xA and can’t get the car into programming mode…

[@twiggory]

worked perfectly on my 04 Corolla! Thank you!

[@mikecull7329]

You're awesome. Never would have figured the instructions out without this video.

[@Maianekane]

I have a 2006 toyota solara it worked perfectly . thank you so much .

[@EZEKIEL690]

This is awesome, worked on my 2007 Corolla. Thank you

[@bigrican4013]

This was a great video thank you you went slow so I actually followed along everyone else's videos we're way too fast and complicated thanks again👍🏼

[@asifkan2]

Hi thanks for the video its very helpful, i did try the procedures it worked fine BUT when i lock the door with the remote after almost 1 minute the car starts beeping , do you know how to reset it?

[@michaelomwoyo8785]

You're the man. Tried it and it worked like magic. Very impressed!!!

[@naragon07]

Best vid. Only one that has worked with my 2005 Tundra. Thanx!!!

[@classicclinic]

I followed your instructions exactly and it worked. Nice work & no B.S.. Thanks for the post !

[@tinystarsinuniverse]

Thank you very much for your posting. It worked right at the first try for my Toyota Corolla 2007.

[@tinystarsinuniverse]

Today my after market remote control arrived. I followed the video and it worked right away.

[@kaitkeesee2745]

I just bought the same exact fob and I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris I have tried so many different instructions including this video and for some reason my locks don’t confirm it on their own after I’ve completed the whole sequence

[@AdamBedz]

Check to make sure that your model has keyless entry. Not every version will have keyless. If it does, then make sure the fcc id is correct and then check keyfob battery. But first check with Toyota to make sure its got keyless entry.

[@henrya.espinoza1895]

It worked for 2006 Scion XB. Thanks man! I got them also of eBay!

[@TheLongSidewalk]

I have a scion Xb 2006 wonder if it will work with mine?

[@jimmynguyen6484]

Cool, I got a 2004 Corolla that took me awhile for programming but it worked, Thank you very much......................

[@raulgmo]

worked like a charm for my corolla 06 thanks

[@munaustralia]

Hi, I couldn't enter programming mode? My Toyota Corolla Ascent 2003 is in Australia, so I tried the driver's door (front right) and passenger door (front left). Maybe there's a different code outside of America?

[@HA_HA1990]

Did you solve the problem becaz I have the same as yours Plz give me answer if you solve it

[@Mysonichiban]

Me too! Can't get in!

[@TheLoneWolfForge]

This worked on my 2003 Toyota Highlander. Thank you!

[@SuperSriram1234]

Thanks a lot friend. It worked perfectly. I just followed the same directions and programmed successfully.

[@marlonramos8634]

Thank you, thank you....worked like a charm. I had to revamp the end part and held the lock and unlock for about 10 Seconds.. :) thanks again.

[@KillSwitch80]

Thanks for the video. Worked on my 2005 Toyota 4Runner 👌

[@henryford1962]

Great! My Toyota Yaris 2008 works like a charm. Much appreciated !

[@DwightCastillo]

I own a 2007 Toyota Corolla S. I go step by step and when the "Lock Cycle" should me there, there's nothing happens, I've even followed synchronized with the video and nothing happens, there's something I could do?

[@Funmsx95]

Dwight Castillo I have the same exact issue with the same car... did you ever find a solution?

[@DwightCastillo]

I have tried all tutorials over the internet and nothing works so far

[@alexandero.4496]

+Dwight Castillo Is it possible to program 2007 Toyota Corolla yourself or the only way to do it is at a dealer?

[@sergehivrenko]

Check behind the rear pillar cover on passenger side, if there is any module?! If you don't have it, you have no chance. Go online and buy some "after market" remote

[@gameondude3617]

[@hitch19070]

Hi Adam, I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla CE, I got it used and without a remote and I haven't bought the remote yet because I wanted to make sure that my car has keyless system first. I tried following your tutorial and couldn't get to the programming mode. Does the remote need to be inside the car to get to the programming mode?

Worked for me!!! Needed to replace missing key fobs.

Worked perfectly. Got it on my first try.

[@cquevedo2009]

Does have to be a remote inside the car or I can reset the car without it? I tried the first 11 step and didn't work (my door didn't lock and unlock). Please let me know.

My lock button does not work on my remote but the remaining buttons work just fine. Tried resetting with your technique andit locked and then unlocked after i pressed the lock button the first time. The lock button still doesnt work, any help?

Thx mate, will try later. But do I need to press any button on existing remote after successful in programming mode?

Thanks for the video. When you first start, the driver's door is open and unlocked. All the other doors are closed. Are the other doors locked or unlocked?

[@progamer-gq3uu]

Does this work for toyota corolla 2006 ce ? I try but I couldnt I followed all steps but no

[@hiblendmedia]

The 2006 CE doesn't have power locks, so this will not work unless you have them installed.

[@chuyi2165]

Hi Adam, your video is of great help! I successfully programmed the remote for my 2007 corolla. However, the remote also has a button to open the trunk. How can I program to make that button work?

[@ikexplore8462]

I still can't get it right. Does all doors need to be UNLOCKED while doing this? Or just driver's seat is unlocked?

Everything worked fine until the end when I went to push lock nothing happens. Unlock works but my blinkers both blink and lights as well. I have a 2003 Pontiac vibe and was told it's the same as a matrix. What am I doing wrong?

I have the 08 LE and I want to enable the beep on lock/unlock - how do I do this?

Hi there. So my remote used to work in the beginning but then it stopped working, so I figured it was the battery that went out. When I press the buttons, the green light comes on, but it does not lock/unlock/panic. I tried this tutorial but still no success. any suggestions?
