Can I program the smart entry key of a toyota Prius to a corolla?

I have 2 spare toyota prius smart entry keys. It is possible to re-program them for my corolla-ultima? Is there any cross compatibility between toyota prius and toyota corolla's smary entry keys? If so how do I need to re program those keys for my corolla?|||Hi,





the first question I have is what vehicle the two spare Smart Keys were intended for, if any. Were they originally linked to a Prius?





Changing the Smart Key's coding is not something you can do at home or at an aftermarket/independent shop. They simply won't have the programming equipment.





You have to use a Toyota dealership to reprogram the Smart Keys, however you will run into a much bigger issue.





Smart Keys are linked to a specific vehicle's transponder/receiver system with coding through a specialty progamming computer.





To explain this, if you somehow lost both of your original, already-programmed Smart Keys for any Toyota/Lexus, you would not only have to buy new Smart Keys, but you would also have to replace the internal Smart Key transponder computer inside the vehicle itself.





It is a linked and internally-locked system and it will not accept new Smart Keys made without one of the original Smart Keys present to verify the original codes. One will not work without the other.





So, unless the Smart Keys you have have never been programmed to a Prius and are completely blank, you will not be able to link them to another vehicle, even if that vehicle has a Smart Key system. It doesn't matter if it is a Corolla or any other vehicle.|||No you cannot. It is like two separate streams running which never meet. Furthermore, just to programme a key you need a very sophisticated chip making equipment which costs around 拢6000 from China and Japan, so forget it, do not think too much of this possibility. Oh, one thing I forgot to tell you, do not believe these ebay advertisers who lure for programming techniques, they are just nonsense just to grab money.|||No, the frequencies are different. Now, a lesson for the professor...


Automotive locksmiths have the capability to reflash Toyota modules without replacement. We've been able to do this for several years now.
