I had to buy a new remote key fob and I am having trouble reprogramming my car to accept the new remote.

I searched and found two different sequences to adding a new remote. One is for the 3200 and the other for the 3200+ alarm. I have tried both and have not had luck with either.

How do I determine which alarm system I have?

My 2002 4Runner is an SR5. Thank you for any help

 

anybody?

Also, you need to make sure you have a BLACK remote. Not a dark gray one. The gray ones will not work! I've done this and it is pretty straightforward.

 

I don't have any factory security system installled,
but I've tried this on my rig, & it works.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Start with the following conditions: you are in the vehicle

a. Key is out of the ignition
b. Drive door is open ( all other doors are closed)
c. Driver door is unlocked (other door locks don't matter)

2. Insert the key into the ignition (don't turn it) and pull it out.

3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Cycle the power locks 5 times. Use an even pace and try
to go relatively fast.

b. Close, then open the drivers door.

4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Cycle the power locks 5 times (same as before).
b. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF.
c. Turn the ignition to ON then back to OFF.
d. Remove the key from the ignition.

5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle (automatically)
indicating successful entry into programming mode. Return to step 1
if the locks do not cycle at this point.

6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:

a. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter
simultaneously for 1 second.

b. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons,
press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds.
Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle ( LOCK then
UNLOCK) once-- indicating successful programming. If
the door locks don't cycle, or cycle twice. Repeat steps
6a and 6b--this remote has not been accepted.

c. Repeat steps 6a and 6b for EACH transmitter that will
operate the vehicle. Including any old transmitters.

7. Close the driver door.

 

+1 Make sure the number on the back of the remote matches exactly as well. I kept trying and trying, and looked real close, and the number was off by one... got a matching number and it worked on the first try.
