Dear Experts,
I believe I have asked this question before, but know I have to know for sure. I own a 2000 Camry LE 4 cyl. The car is loaded with features. Power sunroof, power drivers seat, factory alloy wheels, power heated mirrors, JBL sound system, etc.
However, I have wondered for the past two years why the car wasn`t equipped with keyless entry. About 1 month ago, I was in contact with my dealership and confirmed with them that the car does have the feature. They checked via VIN lookup.
Based on that, I bought a keyless remote off of Ebay for the car. I received the FOB today and tried to program it with no luck. The locks were supposed to cycle but failed to at the end of the instructions. I tried the instructions about 10 times. The instructions I received matched the ones on "programyourremote.com"
After all that, I called the dealership back and said that it may need to be tethered to a link program at the dealership to activate. Is this true. It will cost me $45.00 just to program it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
