Hi,

I  had my handbag stolen. In the bag are a master transponder key, a remote keyless control, and my driver license with current home address.

Since the thief knows my home address, I went to the dealer to re-program the transponder key so that the thief cannot use the stolen key to start the engine.

Now I have one reprogrammed master transponder key, one reprogrammed valet key, and one keyless remote control. My question is: Can I re-program the remote keyless control (I did not ask the dealer to to it) so that the stolen remote control is disabled and the thief cannot use it to open the door? Do I need to replace all the locks for the doors, trunk and ignition? The dealer asked for over $700 for all the locks. It is very expensive. My car is a 2006 Toyota Corolla LE.

Thanks!

Hi Sally,

Yes you can reprogram the remote. Since all of the remotes have to be present during programming the one that you lost will cease to work anymore. Here is the program procedure for an 06 Corolla >>

1. Make sure the key is out of the ignition, drivers door is open and unlocked.

2. Insert the key all the way into the ignition, pull the key out. Repeat. (2x)

3. Close the drivers door, open it. Repeat (2x)

4. Insert the key all the way into the ignition, pull the key out.

5. Close the drivers door, open it. Repeat (2x)

6. Close the drivers door.

7. Insert the key into the ignition, turn to on (do not start the engine), turn to off, remove key.

8. The door locks should cycle to indicate program mode.

9. Press and hold the LOCK button on the key fob, press and hold the UNLOCK button, release both buttons, press LOCK again.

The door locks should cycle one time if the programming was successful, if they cycle twice you'll have to repeat the previous step as the programming didn't take.

As for the locks, that is really up to you. They do not actually have to be replaced, a Locksmith could rekey them for you but then you would have to use a seperate key for your doors. You could go all out and have the igniton rekeyed as well but then you're looking at new (chip) keys and that's even more $$$.

I think you'll be just fine having the key and remote reprogrammed, yeah the thief who stole your keys could possibly still open the doors to your car but it's impossible for the ignition to start. If it really bothers you though, do check with a Locksmith. You can have those locks rekeyed for much less than $700.

Hope that helps!

Sergio,

Give this a try >>

1. Sit inside the vehicle and close all the doors.

2. Place ignition in the OFF position.

3. Open the driver's door and leave open during programming procedure.

4. Move the mechanical door lock lever to the Lock position.

5. Turn ignition to the RUN Position.

6. Aim the transmitter at the Keyless Entry receiver and press Lock Button.

7. Hold for five seconds until the door locks cycle.

8. Turn ignition OFF within 20 seconds.

9. Check receiver memory by cycling the door locks using the transmitter.

The jist of it is, a dealer will need to do the programming..

Good Luck,

Holly,

Try the Chevy Avalanche keyless programming instructions. It is the same procedure for your Yukon.
