Program a new Key Fob 2007 RX350

[ws6chad]

Hello.. I am trying to program a 2nd key fob.

I found the instructions to insert an already programmed key into ignition... Leave the ignition off..  press the gas 5 times, then press the brake 6 times....etc..

but it is not working..  

So, does a 2007 RX350 require Techstream?  Or can I do it manually?    If manually, what is the process?

thanks in advance!

I got the Immobilizer on the new fob programmed into the vehicle and it starts the car.. But still looking for the programming procedure for the remote.  I have tried 2 of the processes and neither one works.  The RX350 does not respond by flipping the door locks and neither process works.. bummer!

Hello, Chad. From which vendor/company did you buy the new fob?

I bought this one.. but I think the shell is not oem.  The only thing interchangeable is the electronics inside..  which is all I needed.  I am 100% certain but I think the metal key on the oem fob and the aftermarket ones, seem to be fastened really hard to the back of the Fob.  So, I could not figure out a way to move my metal key to the new fob.  So I had to use my older oem fob.  And I thought about using just the front part of the fob with the back of the oem fober (which has the metal key attached) BUT they didnt seem to mate up very well.  So, I just only used the electronics in the device and the old fob shell (front and back)  

btw, I may have to get Techstream or another handheld unit to program the "remote" portion on this 2007 RX350.

I just recently bought a key fob cover and easily swapped over the damaged one's internals. However, the original owner of my MX5 attempted to get a second fob to work and had no luck, The dealership told him that the aftermarket fob could not be programmed. It looks like the one you have is OEM so you should be able to get it working with the right tool.

yup.  the right software tool...  or the right process, but so far I do not see a manual process for the remote portion.
