In this case, the key is just a dumb key (I had it checked at Home Depot) where the remote just unlocks and locks the doors. It's the two-button remote as shown in this pictu http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7287633keyfob.jpg The FCC ID is exactly the same, but it doesn't have any related P/N: https://northcoastkeyless.com/shop/m...a-pn-mr587983/ If the three-button remote works too, that would be a godsend: http://www.keylessride.com/order/quo...&frid=1A174E90 The reason is that the trunk won't open from the outside, as the key doesn't open it and the fob doesn't have a button for it. The trunk only opens right now from the inside of the cabin. I think that's how we will go, thanks to your suggestions! 1. Buy a handful of 3-button remotes 2. Program them Seems simple enough thanks to you! (I have no experience with these things.) |

Yup. My bimmer has that per-key "seat memory" too. |

I was looking for something else and I found this post, from a month ago, so you probably won't see my answer, and if you do, I probaably won't see yours. But my email address is good if you remove NONONO. I too, with a 2005 Toyotal Solara had a problem that it only opened with the fob or the lever on the floor. Now I had 2 good fobs, but because it's a convertible, I had to disable the lever on the floor. I guess the alarm would have gone off if they climbed over the door or the back and opened the trunk, but the alarm stops after a short time. So if I'm out and the fob battery fails, no way to get into the trunk. So I put in an electric switch, on the dash, that shoud have been there in the first place. It wasn't that easy. Couuldn't find the wire -- well maybe I could see it but I couldn't reach it -- without removing the left kickpanel and cutting into two different sheaths, looking for a white wire. There were two of them so I had to test which one worked. And I connected a push-button switch to that one and the cig lighter that is hot when the ignition is on. I'm really glad I did this. |
