5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
I am currently waiting on one that I got on ebay($40). I will have to get the key portion recut and then have it reprogrammed. The dealer said they would reprogram the key for about $100 or so.
Does anyone know if there is any other place that can reprogram the key?

Thanks. Be sure to post if you find another way to do it rather than taking it to the dealer. I know when I had my last car, I was able to find instructions online for programiming the older keychain keyless entry remote, but haven't seen anything about this one.
$258 is dealer retail for the key. Our dealership doesn't charge to cut keys, however programming a key can cost an hour of labor if it requires a reflash of the ECU (i know the prius is this way...). If it doesn't require an ECU flash I'm pretty sure Toyota has the programming how to in the repair manual (search for orst.edu... GO BEAVERS!) or on a TSB you can get through Tundra Solutions. It's basically a series of open door, turn key, roll up window, grab ankles, count to three, pray it worked to get it programmed.

My dealer said if i wanted a extra it was 100 bucks with programming. Idk if that refers to the SE or not. They gave me 2 main keys though, maybe it depends on the dealer. cause the dealer i went to I got alot of free stuff, ex: 3 free maintance checks, and 3 free inspections.
But you should be able to get the keys cheaper. These keys are not diamond cut right? kinda hard to see a key costing so much unless its one of them chip ones where only a key with a chip can start it.

I couldn't find anything on how to program a key do you have a link?
I was just looking at that part of the manual. Before that, I never even thought about having to have a factory key to start the car. I better be more careful with these keys than I was on my last car. The manual says that for the cylinder ignition, there can only be 4 keys, and they all have to be factory made.
i went to the local hardware store and for $5 they made a copy of my key . it opens the doors . i keep it just in case i lock the camry key inside the car ... hmm ... not sure if i can lock the camry key inside the car

I do the same thing. I keep an all-metal key that only unlocks the doors in my wallet. My wife keeps one in her purse. We keep the valet key in the center consul. If either one of us loses our main key we can open the door and get to the valet key in the consul and at least drive the car home. Then hope we find the original key.
