Camry :: 02 LE I-4 - Having A Transponder Key?

Bought this car from a guy who but aftermarket electric locks on the car so the keys are not factory OEM. My dingy 16yr daughter has lost one of the keys and broke the plastic off (don't ask me how the heck she managed that) the top part of the loop on the only other one we have so now it can't go on a key ring.

I went to get an oil change last week and the service guy told me it WAS a transponder key. The keys the hardware cut for me don't turn the door lock or the ignition so there might be an issue with the cutting.

I checked my manual and it says my car may not have the Engine Immobilizer system. There is supposed to be a security LED light on the dash next to the A/C knob, BUT there isn't!! This makes me think I have a plain old regular key with NO transponder?!?!

I have read but have not been able to determine for sure that the Camry LE with I-4 did NOT come with the Engine Immobilizer so therefore - NO transponder key.

Camry :: How To Program Transponder Key For 2005 SE

Recently, I've been looking into making a copy of my ignition key for my 2005 Camry SE. I bought a blank on eBay, had it cut to fit my master key, and it works fine for locking and unlocking the doors. However, since it is a Transponder Key, apparently I need to program it in some way to use it for ignition.

I've been looking all over for instructions on how to do this, and have tried this commonly repeated method, with no success:

1. Simultaneously depress and release brake and accelerator pedals 1 time.

2. Insert an original Master Key into the ignition but do not turn it.

3. Within 15 seconds depress and release accelerator pedal 5 times.

4. Within 20 seconds depress and release the brake pedal 6 times and remove key.

5. Within 10 seconds insert New Key into ignition but do not turn it.

6. Within 10 seconds depress and release the accelerator pedal 1 time.

7. Now sit and wait for about one minute until the security light in the center counsel stops blinking and turns off.

8. Remove new key and depress and release brake pedal 1 time.

9. Test your key now. It should work if you followed the instructions. If not, you may want to try the following instructions:

To reiterate, these instructions have not worked for me.

Have any other 2005 Camry SE owners managed to program a key successfully? What method did you use?

Camry :: Program Another Transponder Key With The Gray Valet Key?

Bought the 04 Solara with just the Gray Valet key that has the transponder in it.

Valet key will start the car but not lock/unlock the glove box or truck lock.

Do I need a black Master key to program a new transponder key?

or can I do it with the Valet key since it has (I think) the same transponder chip?

Just started. Replace fuel pimp and bracket 8 months ago. Now, three times in two days ...freely cranks, but does not fire. It has been suggested by a key man that my ignition key "Ring Transponder(??) is failing, about a $50.00 part.

Any links to a step-by-step to where I could do this myself? ($$$). I don't know what to call it, so it makes it hard to search online. the part he referred to in under my ignition switch shroud...but that"s all I know. (I was driving when I talked to him and forgot the exact term he used (I'm old, and easily confused by anything post ignition points and condenser)

Avalon 2005-12 :: 2006 XLS Transponder Key Programming?

I have a 2006 Avalon XLS. Great car. Came with 1 cut master key and 2 remotes. I bought two blanks off amazon with the right transponder chip and had them cut for $5. Now I need to use my master to program the transponders in the two new keys. Or to get the car to recognize the two new keys to start it. They just turn and crank right now.

Any way to do this without the dealer? Mine wants $120 for programming. I do have the black master key.

I have tried the whole master key on off six times and open close drivers door five times deal. I cannot get my security light to stay on to accept new keys.

I have a 2006 Dodge Stratus and recently lost my transponder key for my ignition. I do have a spare key cut but it doesn't have a chip in it, I can only use it to unlock the doors and open the trunk.

What I want to know... is there:

➣ A way to disable/bypass the theft prevention system so I can use the non-chipped key in my ignition?
➣ a way I can modify my key to trick the theft prevention system into thinking it is a real key?

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: How To Program 2012 LE Transponder Remote Key

New owner of a used 2012 corolla. I only have one remote key. After digging through google and ebay. I brought a set of new remote keys with the known warning that I have to take it to the dealer for programming.

What tools to get to have this program by myself. It just cost too much over $150 from dealer just to program a key not counting over $250 dollar for the key itself.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: EZ-Pass Transponder Mounting And Rain-sensing Wipers?

Ever since I have mounted my EZ-Pass transponder my rain-sensing wipers do not work properly. The transponder is attached to the windshield with two double-sticky pieces of velcro behind the rearview mirror. Basically the wipers now only work on the lowest setting. On medium and high they constantly run even with clean dry windshield.

Is there a known good way to mount the transponder so it doesn't affect the rain sensor?

Camry :: 2003 Camry 2.4L - Cooling / Radiator Fans Stay On All The Time

My 2003 camry LE 4 cyl cooling/radiator fans stay on all the time. As soon as I turn the ignition key both radiator fan start to spin even though the car is cold and not on. I checked all the relays and fuses. Checked the voltage on the coolant sensor harness with ignition switch on, there is no 5v or the green pin is not grounded. I am clueless where to go next.

Camry :: 2003 - Rumbling When AC Is On?

Just bought a solara at 114k and after about a week I noticed that when my AC is on that car rumbles a little more than it should and loses rpm... when i turn the AC button off the rumbling stops. Also, after a long drive with the AC on if I go to start my car the next day it may not start the first time or it idles really low at 500 RPM and then stalls and i may have to start it a few more times before it gets going... I'm going to get it checked by a mechanic soon but I wanted to know how urgent it possibly is...

Camry :: 2003 - Car Low / Rough Idle When AC Is On

Title tells the story....also it seems that sometimes it does this when the brake pedal is depressed -- since it is a manual 5-speed, tho., often the brake pedal is not depressed at stoplights, etc. So, 2003, four-cyl., as I said, manual trans.

It's my husband's. He has been gone. I am driving the car for him while he is away. The car seems to have had this rough/low idle (according to the tach) with the A/C on for at least a couple of years. Idles O.K. if the A/C is not on.

He returns tonight. And, I have to pick him up at the Portland, Oregon Airport.

Camry :: 2003 LE / Metallic Smell From AC?

I'm cleaning my mother's 91K mile 2003 Camry LE while she is out of town. The interior has a horrible and somewhat strong metallic smell that after some work I've eliminated the smell from the interior fabrics but it comes back after a while when you are driving with the AC on. It's 100 degrees here now so it's on high all the time. Then when I park the over night, no smell anymore until you use the car again and it doesn't come back immediately. I did a evap core clean with Klima-cleaner foam and used a febrese like product on the headliner, seats, carpets. I'm also using a clip on fan and some odor absorbing products while the car sits in the garage. The cabin filter has been out of the car during these processes but a new is installed now.

What can be done about this smell?

Other then that smell: The interior is in great shape and needs very little cleaning. Typical for a retired person's car.

The paint is the worst part of this car, dull and slightly oxidized but my test on the hood with my Flex Polisher and HD Uno (after washing with dawn and claying) means I won't have to make too many passes with the buffer to get it ready for a couple of coats of Duragloss sealant.

The engine looked pretty dirty but cleaned up easily to almost new looking. I changed the spark plugs, air filter and put on some Bosch ICON wipers. I'm not even sure if mom drives in the rain anymore.

The tires are 7.5 years old and dry rotting so bad you can barely read the brand and model, they are Michelin but I'm not sure which one. I'll get a new set of Michelin Premier AS's put on next Saturday.

I did order some new speaker grills for the rear deck. I had to scrape the black stuff off the inside of the edges of the glass and I conditioned all the seals with Wurth Rubber Care but I'm pretty sure that living in Texas the black on the glass is just part of Toyota life??? I don't own a Toyota myself and none of my 4 cars have this kind of issue (or the AC smell).

Camry :: 2003 V6 Won't Shift To 4th Gear

Today my camry suddenly won't shift to 4th gear, so at low speeds, up to 40 mph, rpm reads 1.7 to 2, if i try to accelerate faster, the rpm goes up until 4.5 maybe at around 70 mph, poor acceleration and the driving feels heavy and unnatural.

I replaced the engine mounts a couple of weeks ago after waiting for about a year to do that, not sure if the two things are connected.
