2006 Toyota Avalon Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2006 Toyota Avalon supports onboard programming for keyless entry remotes. Precise timing is essential. Up to four remotes can be programmed during a single session.

Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle Remove the key from the ignition. Open the driver’s door and leave it open. Ensure all other doors are closed. Confirm the driver’s door is unlocked.
  • Step 2: Insert and Remove the Key Twice (Within 5 Seconds) A. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn), then remove it. B. Repeat: Insert the key again (do not turn), then remove it.
  • Step 3: Door Cycle and Key Insertion (Within 40 Seconds) A. Close, then open the driver’s door. B. Close, then open the driver’s door again. C. Insert the key into the ignition (do not turn), then remove it.

Immediately press and hold the lock button alone for 2 seconds, then release. C. The door locks should cycle once, confirming successful programming.
