How to Know if a Remote Will Work For Your Vehicle
I see a lot of postsĀ around the internet of people wondering which remotes will work for their vehicles. For example, can you use a remote from a different year model if it’s for the same vehicle? I am going to give you a near fool proof method for determining this.
On the back of every OEM remote will be an FCC id number such as “GQ43VT11T”. FCC numbers are issued by the government as proof that the device complies with their rules and regulations. If the remote in question has an identical FCC id number to your original, you can be 99% sure that it will work.

I purchased a keyless remote for ’06 toyota sequioa. The programming didnt’ work, so the seller sent me a different model remote. It didn’t work either. The first one has all of the same numbers on the back of it that I keep finding online, but it still will not work with the instructions given. Please help!
