Programming Process

Programming a key fob for a 2007 Toyota Camry requires a specific sequence of steps. Here's a detailed guide to help you through the process:

1. Start with the key out of the ignition, driver's door open, and all other doors closed.

2. Within 5 seconds, insert and remove the key from the ignition twice without turning it.

3. Within 40 seconds, perform these actions:

- Close and open the driver's door twice

- Insert the key into the ignition and remove it once

4. Again within 40 seconds:

- Close and open the driver's door twice

- Insert the key into the ignition and leave it there

- Close the driver's door

- Turn the ignition to ON (without starting the engine), then back to OFF

- Remove the key

5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle, indicating entry into programming mode.

6. Within 40 seconds:

- Press the lock and unlock buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1.5 seconds

- Immediately after, press and hold the lock button for 2 seconds

7. The door locks should cycle once to confirm successful programming.

8. To exit programming mode, open the driver's door.

Important Considerations

Timing is crucial in this process. If you miss a step or exceed the time limits, you'll need to start over from the beginning. Some 2007 Camry models might not be compatible with this method and may require professional programming.

Maintaining Your Key Fob

To keep your newly programmed key fob functioning properly:

  • Replace the battery when it shows signs of weakness
