Programming the new 2024 Tacoma Slim Credit Card Key Fob to a 2024 Tundra

I can confirm this works, had my 2024 Tundra TRD Pro programmed to the key card today. Virgin factory OEM keycard purchased direct from a dealership is my recommendation. I purchased an “brand new OEM” keycard on eBay with a free emergency uncut key. The keycard wouldn’t program. They tried 2x, the assistant foreman and the foreman. My advisor offered to order me a new card, and let me return it if they couldn’t program it. Went back today and the dealership ordered keycard was a successfully programmed. Also they had difficulty with cutting the “free” emergency key, they said it wouldn’t align in the machine properly. It’s doesn’t even fit in the glovebox. Thankfully seller has a return policy. A dealership ordered keycard doesn’t come with the blank emergency key, that has to be ordered separately, which I didn’t know.

 

I meant to respond with my experience as well. I tried programming my fleBay key yesterday and also was a no-go.

There’s something different about that key even though it’s the same frequency and all.

I’m going to wait until next week around the 4th to see if there are any sales going on for the key part number. I’ve got the process down with my version of Techstream just need the virgin OEM key card.

I’ll do a how-to for others who want to program it themselves when I order the new key and get it done.

 

I read back through your post and the notes Toyota wrote. You've got a great dealership. I highly doubt if I brought my fleBay key in to my dealer and asked them to program not only would they not do it, even if they did, they'd for sure charge for the programming fail of that one and the new key and to program it again. I haven't tried but just some of the experiences I've come across with my dealer I wouldn't be surprised if they did that.

 

My dealer here in Richmond refused to order me one and if I brought one in from eBay or another dealer they flat out told me they wouldn't program it. I called Toyota Care to complain and they said the same thing, it couldn't be done.

I guess eventually they'll do one and then loosen up and start allowing it.

 

I bought from the same eBay seller you did. I assumed that they unlocked it/revirginized the key. This is not the case. I received my key today. I cut the insert key and tried to program it using my smartpro programmer. It failed so I tried to unlock the card using a smart unlock feature through another programmer but it wouldn't fit inside the loop to allow me to unlock it. I would have just ordered the key from my key suppliers but they don't offer the card. I have bought hundreds of unlocked grade A refurbished Toyota & Lexus prox keys from my suppliers and never had an issue. It should also work on '25 models since the FCC on the OE prox key hasn't changed at all. I'll order one from the dealership and hopefully it programs without any issues the next time around.

 

Let us know how it goes. I’ll chime back in too after I get my key ordered from a dealership. I’ll probably get it from Ourisman in the next week or 2 unless someone else has a good sell for the holiday.
