mwilkinson Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I did, but it didn't work. This appears to be a problem. I've had a look through the translated JDM electrical manual and cant find anything either. There was a chap on the Australian owners club who had the kit new from Toyota. This had instructions. I was never able to contact him as I couldn't get access to the Australian site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The US Supras were programmable, with a red pairing button on the module that is located behind the steering column on their cars. The JDM c/l under seat unit isn't programmable. From what I read each unit shipped from Denso with two blank two button keys that were factory paired. So, it seems, anyone wanting new key fobs needs to buy a new c/l module and have the blank key blades cut or have the old keys along with a second hand module and fit new blades (if that's possible) so they can then be cut to work in the recipient car locks. So, a second hand c/l module on its own isn't going to be much use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I can't believe there wasn't / isn't a way for dealers to have replacement keys programmed to a pre-installed c/l unit. Do you recall where you read this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I spent quite a few days trawling maybe 100 what if sites and threads and all drew a blank or dead end on JDM fresh keys. I was thinking of going to see the people who did a Range Rover key for me that was supposed to be impossible for anyone but a main dealer but I haven't got around to that seeing they are a good drive from home. Here is one of the threads that goes on about this. No idea if Toyota still sell the modules. Its not listed as a stock item at Amayama. I'd guess most people would look to wire in a new universal c/l module that costs £10 anyway if a new one is needed. The Denso units were well over £200 from Toyota.

mwilkinson Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Amayama still show the units as available. But at £168 before vat and duty, I think aftermarket is the way to go. You're quite right though. Seems it's not possible to retrospectively use a spare key and c/l unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
