Replacing Keyless Entry Remote 96 1996 Es300

[J Random User]

I finally got an owners manual and the FCC ID is HYQ1512A. However, it isn't available anywhere at a decent price.

So, can I use HYQ1512P (from next-gen ES300) or GQ43VT7T (from the Camry and Avalon of the same era) instead? They are much cheaper and more widely available.

The only one to say for sure would be the vendor/manufacturer who sells the remote for your application.

My mother purchased a used car 3 years ago and the remote buttons were so worn she couldn't read the icons to know which one to use for what. I found a vendor online who sold a replacement remote for her model and year, with the proper coding instructions, and guaranteed that it would work for her factory keyless entry system.

As I recall with shipping it was around $50 CDN and once programmed to match her car, worked like a charm. And, no, I don't recall who the vendor was, as my mother's car has since been sold, as she no longer can drive. Good luck.
