2013 Tacoma key fob program

Can i program my 2013 Tacoma prerunner 4 door crew cab key fob myself of do i have to take it to the dealer? I see on youtube that you can do it for 2013 but some sites say it has to go to the dealer, which cost to much. I have instructions on opening the door so many times insert key so many times and so forth. Can this be done by me or does a dealer have to hook it jp to a computer? Has anyone self programed their 2013?

 

I have a 2013, I'm curious why are you programming a key fob, did you loose one???

 

@b.prall you had a video on this didn't you brother??

 

When i bought it, it only came with one key and no key fobs. Dealer says i have keyless entree, but cant pay what they want to program a remote.

 

If it's a Toyota dealer, they should have given you the key fobs, set up and ready to go before you bought the truck...the truck is keyless entry, so they should have provided you with the key fobs...

 

I bought it used from dealer and they only had one key and no key fob. I paid to have another key made feom dealer $140. Cant pay then that again if i can self program one that i can buy off ebay. Has anyone done this on their 2013?

 

@AR15xAR10 you just programmed the one I gave you right? Where was that how to video???

 

Sorry, but even at a used dealer, they still should have provided you with a key fob...

It takes like 3minutes

 

You can get them for about $50-60 online and then use the video i just linked to program it.

I'd take the one back to the dealer and get that $140 lol

 

+1 to all of this. I just programmed a new fob for my 2013 using this process, which is demonstrated in the video.

Note that programming a fob and programming an immobilizer chip key are two different things. Techstream software and an ODBII cable are required to register immobilizer chips with the ECU.

 

Update, yes, you can self program a 2013 tacoma with these instructions, i got my key fob today and it works. Dont know why some ebay sellers and dealers claim that 2011 and newer has to go to dealer and cant be programed, i did mine and it works fine. $10 dollars off ebay and works like a charm.

 

This is one advantage of having 11 year old technology in our trucks.
