After some struggling and few failed attempts, I finally figured out the way to do it. A few months later, was told that it is possible to program any Toyota, Scion or Lexus smart key using a special cable and software, so I started my online search.
Initially, I wanted to get a second key for a backup, but few hundred dollars price tag from the dealer made me hold off on that idea. This is about how to program a new smart key & remote fob for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion.Ī few years ago I bought my used 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited and it came with just one “Smart Key” to start the engine.
