2005 toyota matrix. lost the remote. have a new one. manual does not instruct how to program. can anyone help me please?
Thanks, Ron, you're a life saver. Complicated - surprised you don't have to jump twice over the hood!Google is your friend.
Read this.
Then print it.
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.
13. The door locks will cycle to confirm successful programming of the remote.
(If you have any additional remotes to program repeat step 12 if you have no additional remotes proceed to step 14.)
14. OPEN the DRIVER'S side door. Programming is now complete.

Most are that way. I thought my GMC truck was bad till I saw the above. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right but normally if you go through it and get it right they work.Thanks, Ron, you're a life saver. Complicated - surprised you don't have to jump twice over the hood!
If you think that Toyota's are bad, you should check out the manual process for adding a Subaru remote.My GOD! All that to program a remote?
That's the dumbest crap I ever heard of. I'm surprised that they didn't add the trunk opening and closing after you first close it somewhere in there.

Yea I hear that often. I do a lot of specialty stuff that is very expensive even tho my prices are on low side in market. People will curse me out for a good five minutes, call me all kind of names and hang up on me. Most end up calling back a week or two later because either no one else can do the job or the few who can are twice as expensive. Mostly what I do is not a choice of convince but a necessity in the car being up and running.I would not pay $350-$400 to program a remote!
You would need a remote start for this not a keyless entry.The only reason I can think of that a remote would be totally necessary is if it's freezing outside and you could use the remote start the car.
The toyota security lights are purely just indicators. Its actually the the key buzzer switch inside the ignition cylinder. This switch when activated sends a lo signal to the ecu to sense when the key is inserted. With out this you can not trigger the manual programming sequence which is all the brake/gas pedal, door & lock actions.The brake pedal and security light is used.
Most GM models are manual programming for the years TechII was in service. This is an old tool and was mostly phased out around 2008 being replaced with the new device called "MDI". Tho the MDI still uses a tech2 emulator for early models.A Chevrolet you program through the radio or the Tech II. Programming deletes all the other remotes.
All that is to prevent accidental reprogramming. That AND another way to soak hundreds of dollars out of you for a small transmitter.My GOD! All that to program a remote?
