09 corolla LE keyless entry programming

[abenguyen]

does anybody know how to program an 09 remote keyless entry to the 09 corolla LE? I have the key with the 4 functions all in one (everything is on the one key)

any help is appreciated as it would save me anywhere from $40 at a local locksmith to $105 at the dealership to program it X(

a search on this would show several threads. I do not believe you can do it

not 100% sure but don't beleive you can do it yourself....special software and computer harness are needed to get the code from the car itself...

yea I've been reading the same thing, and from what the locksmiths tell me they need the computer too. at least the locksmith will save me $60 compared to the dealership

i went to a local shop today to program my alarm and key and everything, they took out a computer to change my settings and everything so im sure we arent able to unless theres a secret procedure to do.

Just wanted to share that the instructions for programing just the keyless entry can be found on the thread below, again this will program just the keyless entry on a key that is already program with the imobilizer system:

How to program a remote control for a 2009 Toyota Corolla

I didn't see the above thread until I had already programed my keyless remote built into my key but I found similar steps that worked for me on a different website but I'll share them here just in case it might help anyone else.

To program the remote part of the key you do the following:
-Open driver door only with no key inserted
-insert key (don't turn) and remove 5 times ending with key out
-close door and open back up 2 times, then insert key and remove it
-close door and open back up 2 times, insert key and close door with key inserted
-turn the key to the "on" position (not start, just on) and then all the way back to off/lock position
-now press and hold BOTH the lock and unlock buttons at the same time on the new remote key for 2 seconds, release and then hold just the lock button for 1 second.
-You should see the locks cycle one time to confirm programming, it will cycle 2 times if it failed
-note this is timesensitive and frustrating, try to do this procedure rather quickly without pausing, you may need to try several times
-turn the key to the off position to close programming mode. If you mess up any step just wait 30 seconds and start from the begining.
This will activate your remote function of the key. Note that this key also has a immobilizer starter system, for the new key to start the car you must have the dealer do this with the sccan tool, there is no procedure you can do on this, it MUST be done with the techstream scan tool.
