How do you program a 2009 Toyota Corolla key?
My son dropped my old key fob, and it stopped unlocking my car door. We bought a new one, but it hasn’t been set up. What’s the best way to program my Toyota Corolla remote?

Remote entry systems
were once a neat luxury, but now they come standard on many cars. While some modern key fobs need to be programmed by a dealer, older ones can likely be set up manually.Follow these steps to program your 2009 Toyota Corolla key fob:
- Get in the driver’s seat and leave your driver’s side door open and unlocked.
- Put your key in the ignition (don’t turn the ignition on). Pull it out. Then, repeat the process once more.
- Close and open the driver’s side door twice.
- Insert your key in the ignition and pull it out.
- Close and open the driver’s side door twice more.
- Put your key in the ignition—leave it in this time.
- Close the driver’s side door—leave it shut.
- Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine, and then switch it back off.
- Remove the key from the ignition—your locks should cycle to signify you’re in programming mode.
- Hold the lock and unlock buttons on your new key fob for two seconds, then release.
- Repeat for two seconds, then release again.
- The vehicle should cycle its locks to show your remote is programmed.
- Exit programming mode by opening your door. Then, test the key fob!
This process may seem long and convoluted, but it should only take a few minutes. That said, you can always bring your car and new key to a dealer if you’d rather not program it yourself.
