I want to apologize beforehand if there has been a group that relates to my problem, but I'm having difficulties finding the right place for the correct answer. I would appreciate any help or if someone can point me to the right direction. I recently bought a corolla from a private dealer, unfortunately it didn't come with a remote entry control. I purchased one online with included programming instructions. I have succesfully placed the car in programming mode but afterwards while simultaneously pressing both the lock and unlock buttons the car does not responds. Any advice or suggestiosn would be very helpful, anything in order to avoid expensive dealer fees and wasting time. Thanks again...
I tried the instructions you gave me but I had the same problem, I can get the car in programming mode (step 5) but I can't register the actual control (step 6). I replaced the battery, still didn't work. I'm curious about the remote that I bought because there are two types of remotes, on the pages you linked me, the programming instructions was referring to remote w/ fcc id: GQ43VT14T, but I received one w/ fcc id: BAB237131-056. (Its strange that eventhough they were different ids the instructions still worked) I emailed the vendor before buying asking them about this and they said it was based on the security light in my car. Is it possible that I have the incorrect remote or is it simply another fcc id that is compatible? Thanks for your help.
I tried the programming instructions you forwarded me but I still encountered the same problem. I could get the car in programming mode (step 5) but I couldn't actually register the control (step 6). I also changed the battery on the remote but it still didn't work. I'm curious about the remote id. In the link you sent me, the programming instructions referred to a remote w/ fcc id: GQ43VT14T but I actually have a remote w/ fcc id: BAB237131-056. (Strangely, the instructiosn still worked) I contacted the vendor regarding this issue before the purchase and they told me that the fcc id depended on the security light in my car. Is it possible that I have an incompatible remote or is it simply another model that is still compatible? Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, it is possible that you have the incorrect remote, and another FCC ID is probably incompatible.
There is another possibility, and that is that the remote is a Securikey system installed by Southeast Toyota Distributors of Gulf States Toyota Distributors. If that is the case, try this:
This set of instructions came from the internet, so its accuracy is unknown. This is for the "Sekuri-Key" system found in the Gulf States and "South East Toyota". This is not a factory Toyota unit, but it may be port installed in your car/truck from these regions.
PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL or REPLACEMENT TRANSMITTERS
Each SECURIKEY+ system can be operated by up to four (4) different SECURIKEY+ transmitters. The system is supplied from the factory with two (2) transmitters included, and additional transmitters are available through parts distribution. Any new or replacement transmitters will need to be programmed to the main control module before they will activate the system. The SECURIKEY+ main control module uses a six (6) channel radio frequency receiver; each channel controlling a different function of the SECURIKEY+ system. Each transmitter button can be programmed to only one of the receiver channels (e.g., the GREEN button cannot be programmed to operate the headlight feature and remote start option; it can operate only one or the other feature). The following is a list of each receiver channel, and the function of each channel.
CHANNEL # FEATURE CONTROLLED BY THIS CHANNEL
1 Lock
2 Unlock
3 Trunk Release (optional kit required; not available on all models)
4 30 second headlight activation (only if required by GREEN button)
5 Remote panic (only if required by GREEN button instead of LOCK button)
6 Remote start (optional kit required; not available on all models)
To program new or additional transmitters, or when adding options to existing SECURIKEY+ transmitters, follow the step by step programming instructions found below. When programming, it is important to complete each step of the procedure within 15 seconds, or the system will terminate the programming mode. If this happens, simply start again.
Be sure that the SECURIKEY+ system is disarmed, and the lighted valet switch is in the off (out) position before you begin. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the on position.

After the LOCK button on all transmitters have been programmed, press and release the L.E.D. valet switch 2 times to advance to the next receiver channel.
CHANNEL 2: UNLOCK Feature Horn Chirps 2 Times L.E.D. Flashes 2 Times To program the UNLOCK button on the transmitter, press and hold the UNLOCK button until the vehicle's horn sounds one loud chirp.
