Immobilizer Hacking Lost or New Keys for Lexus Toyota | ECU Replacement Immobilizer Hack

[@SkillCollectors]

If you don't have 4 keys to program, you can exit the auto programming mode by pumping the brake pedal 5 times. Then the security light will start functioning like normal.

[@shagytrsc2]

I was gonna give you a thumbs up, but, when I went to hit the button I realized that I had done that ALREADY, thank You

[@jmr302]

Binh, thanks so much for making this video. You really, really helped me. I was able to take notes from your video and Dr. Shock's and successfully programmed 4 keys. In my particular case it was on a 2001 Lexus LX470 but it had the same 16-bit eprom (IC900 on the board) and everything worked the same way. The trick was getting the USB driver to work on laptop and making sure the clip was making proper contact with the chip (R/W light on the CH341A).

[@TunerwithKids]

Glad you understood it all. Many people are in over their heads with this stuff.

[@gary6361]

Great video. Online forums just tell you that the ECU is bad and needs replacing! I’ve just purchased an 1999 Lexus GS300. It only came with one aftermarket key and now it’s won’t start. Security light is blinking red. So think I’ll try this to clear all the previous keys coded in.

[@joshuawood6588]

Turn the key on and off 5 times turns off the auto registration mode.

[@reverseperstalsis]

I tried this and it doesnt work, do you have more detailed instructions?

[@miekolock4060]

That’s for 4d chips not 4c, to turn of the light it needs four keys. With that said it won’t hurt anything with it blinking. But to turn it off you could use any glass 4c chip even if your friend has the same car you can stick it into the ignition and it will save it and not mess his key/car starting his car.

[@ThePspivan]

For some reason I couldn’t get the programmer to read the chips. I was just switching from auto to manual I just desoldered the chips and switched them and worked out for me.

[@paulguzyk2978]

FYI; Some Toyota's from early 2000's will exit the (virgin ECU) automatic registration/programming mode after pressing brake pedal 5 times within 15 seconds.

[@wannabegamer919]

Hey Binh, I've been following your channel for 2 years now and you've been a great help on piecing together my w58 MK3 Manual swap in my 2002 IS300. I needed to ask you if a 2004-2005 manual ecu will work with a 2002 IS300. I know their are slight differences in the part numbers but I'm assuming 02-05 manual ecu should all work because the harness is the same. If you could give me a for sure answer that would awesome, because I plan on picking up the 2004 manaul ecu as my last part of the swap for only $100 without keys!

[@TunerwithKids]

Any 02-05 works.

Hi Binh. Thanks again for a great video. Love the channel. So I got a 2008 is250 a few weeks back, and it only came with one key. I’d like to use this eeprom method to Virginise the relevant ECU so I can add a used key I got my hands on. My question is, are you aware of how to do this same virginise process in an is250? I suspect it may not be the ECU that needs to be worked on, but the “smart box”, which I think is in the boot. Any thoughts?

[@TunerwithKids]

If you have a key. Just order a new key and program it. Order something like this amzn.to/3DmLFqH

Thanks, Binh - great video! Learned a lot from watching your HEX analysis of the keys. You mentioned something in this video about another video you made regarding the CH341A Programmer and some things you had to do to it (or your system) to make it work. I scoured the videos on your channel but must confess I was unable to find the video that discusses the programmer. Can you point me in the direction of that video, please? Thanks!

[@markoknezevic7614]

Would this process work on 2006 is250? This car has a separate immobiliser module (ID Code Box) that has an eeprom, so could you do the same on there instead of the ECU, and then perform the OBD pin short "handshake"?

Ultimately he got a key to turn on the dash, but couldn't unlock the immobiliser and actually start the car. I just wondered, after watching your video, if maybe we'd found a better - less expensive - solution. Thanks anyway. I'll keep digging.

[@motabikeboy]

hmmb interesting. Im in a situation where I only have a valet key programmed to the car, and I have a master key that is cut but not programmed to the car. and from what I know and have experienced is that you can only program new keys to a lexus using the pedal dance method when using a master key as the host key. the pedal dance method doesnt work with a valet key. I watched this video but im just not quite familiar or up to scratch with some of the terminology mentioned.

[@TunerwithKids]

This is next level stuff. You are hacking the EEPROM to wipe it and telling the ECU it’s brand new and accept the fist three keys it sees as master and 4th as valet on the IS300. Probably same for most Lexus of this era.

Is the only thing that prevents another ECU from working in your vehicle is the immobilizer function and whether it will allow keys to work in the ignition? IOW, after this is done, the new ECU will work perfectly in the vehicle, right? Nothing else is necessary, right? I have an all keys lost situation on a USA Lexus RX300 and I'm going to see if an XTool D7 will program a new key without swapping out the ECU. If it doesn't work, I might be following this path.

Hi Binh, Finally the guy and video I've been looking for on KZbin. I understand what you were doing but I still have a couple of questions you might be able to help me with. I own a 2018 Camry. I have the two original keys and they work fine. I bought a third blank key from a place in Florida name Locksmith Keyless. I own a LAUNCH X.431 scanner which has the ability to program keys. I cut the new key and inserted it into the car's ignition. I used the scanner to program the new key. Now I can use the buttons on the key to open and close the doors and the trunk as well as the alarm. What I can't do with this key is start the car. It will crank ok but won't start. I see from the scanner that I can only have three (3) keys programed. Question. should I still be able to try to reprogram the third key or do I have to erase all the keys in order to reprogram the last one as well as the two originals? From your video it looks like the car reads the key and writes the code it get from the key into the IC900. If this is the case there is nothing in the key that has to be erased but rather the ECU clears the memory and writes the key codes into those memory locations? I this correct? You mentioned that you found or have some technical information about how the immobilizer system works can you share this information or tell me where to get it? Sorry for the long message but I want to give you enough information so you might be able to help me with this problem key, i.e. why it wont start the engine yet still allows the LOCK and UNLOCK etc to work after programming. Thanks David

[@TunerwithKids]

Your best bet is to get techstream to program keys. If they are regular remote keys, it’s two processes to program. 1. Remote (easy), 2. Immobilizer (tricky). I have a video for 2012 Camry. If smart key, i have video for Avalon, probably same process for 2018 Camry.

Honda and Dodge keys from there failed practically every time... I lost out on several jobs where I traveled 50 miles or more from home and the keys I cut would not program.. I Paid the price for an ILCO from a near by locksmith in the next town and they programed perfectly each and every time... Just Saying...

Should work, the key immobilizer is a “4c” chip used by many cars and brands. The remote portion is different computer and programs differently. Most all Toyota use the same frequency and chips.

[@moe1278]

Will it work if i remove that chip completely? On the ecu

[@TunerwithKids]

No. To disable immobilizer, need ECU reprogrammed.

[@johnnychang7082]

Sir can ask some questions what software use off immo?

[@moulayediag3873]

thnks so much

[@keaganlarson1765]

I’ve gotten to the programming step but I cannot get any key to store. Is there any way that I can troubleshoot further?

[@TunerwithKids]

Is the key correct chip? They make different variations of the immobilizer keys (H, D, etc)

[@xushenxin]

My car is 2003 Chrysler Concorde, how do I find out the EEPROM chips? the number?

[@TunerwithKids]

Idk.

[@mr.cangieter8758]

Wonder if this would work for JDM tototas.🤔

[@TunerwithKids]

Should work if they have same immobilizer system. I don’t see them making any different since it’s the same engineering.

Hello, could you please help me with a Lexus Is350 2006 that turns on the immobilizer and I cannot use it, I am already frustrated because I have spent a lot of money on mechanics trying to solve the problem, the last time it only worked for 2 months and now I have the same problem .

[@TunerwithKids]

Did your ECU have damage? Does it randomly not start? Immobilizer only prevents starting once it’s on it goes until you turn off.

[@IRaaz0r]

@@TunerwithKids I replaced the ECU but the problem persists, with the new ECU it only worked for two months, the person who inspected my vehicle told me that the problem is not the ECU, it even worked with the old ECU

Ok I need help a imposter locksmith stole my ECU and key to 1998 Avalon XLS can I got to scrap yard and get a 98 ECU and the transponder key immobilized and ignition ring and then reprogram or …..help me please thanks it’s my only car right now

[@TunerwithKids]

Should be similar immobilizer setup.

[@jeancarloirias8883]

Hello I have is 200 that I am swapping into a 280z if I don’t have the key how can I bypass it or make it turn on with out the key

[@TunerwithKids]

Need to reset the immobilizer and program a new chip.

[@jeancarloirias8883]

@@TunerwithKids I don’t have a key or the Infiniti on switch

[@TunerwithKids]

You have to check with an ECU expert and see what they offer for disable. Quantum Auto does Lexus ECU.

[@IGOTNOSBOI]

Hey for my is300 would you know which is the data chip is has the same board as yours

[@TunerwithKids]

This is an is300 ecu

[@IGOTNOSBOI]

@@TunerwithKids thanks for replying! Ik that’s great I just wanted to know what number I know the immobilizer is ic900 just wanted to know which number the data chip was

[@kerrywoodall1029]

Can you remove the chip and start the car

[@TunerwithKids]

Nope. Would need to have someone reprogram ECU to have it removed, if even possible.

[@IGOTNOSBOI]

Btw quick question does your fuel pump make an engaging noise when you turn the key because mine doesn’t

[@DsfOnline]

i’m wondering this myself

[@IGOTNOSBOI]

@@DsfOnline it only primes when you turn the key

[@DsfOnline]

my issue wound up being cel B2796 bad communication with the Key /immobilizer . apparently my key didn’t work and the security light stayed on flashing. next day all of a sudden it started working again 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can you make a video on how to get pincode from immobilizer dump

[@TunerwithKids]

Pin code? You mean the Techstream ECU flash unlock code?

[@alain.r]

do you need to swap vin when changing to another ecu? More specifically on a 99 gs300

[@TunerwithKids]

Nope

[@alain.r]

@@TunerwithKidsthanks, i got my car running again

[@Bustedkuhnuckles]

@@alain.rso did you do what he did to program new key? I’m in same boat have ecu but no key for it. Gotta program transponder and get key made

[@alain.r]

@@Bustedkuhnuckles​​⁠Yes, I did what he did. A new key was $30, cost to build the programmer was $25. Is your car a 98-05 gs300? I have the reset file for the chip, if you need it. The hardest part for me was building the programmer. If you have any more questions let me know. Also, I would be willing to reset your ecu if you have the same car (at a cost).

[@jakevannoy]

Has anyone just tried to remove the ic900 and start the car? Curious the results.

[@4NDR01D5]

Im pretty sure theres a way
