2008 Toyota Camry Smart Key & Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2008 Toyota Camry does not support onboard programming for smart keys or remote head keys. Programming requires the use of specialized diagnostic equipment and must be performed by a qualified automotive technician.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Identify the Key Type Determine the key configuration your Camry uses: Smart Key with Push-Button Start If the circuit board inside the fob is labeled 0140, it requires a specific programming approach. If labeled 3370, a different method and equipment will be necessary. Standard Chip Key or Remote Head Key (includes a mechanical blade integrated with the remote)
• Step 2: Contact a Qualified Technician Find an automotive technician or service provider who is experienced with Toyota’s electronic key systems and has access to the appropriate diagnostic tools for your key type.
• Step 3: Consider Driving the Vehicle to the Technician If your vehicle is still operational, taking it to the service provider may help reduce service charges associated with mobile appointments.
• Step 4: Bring All Existing Keys or Remotes Some Toyota systems require that all keys be present during reprogramming. Any keys not included may be removed from the vehicle’s memory during the procedure.
• Step 5: Technician Performs Programming Once connected to the vehicle’s onboard system, the technician will access the key registration module, initiate the programming sequence, and pair the new key fob or remote.
• Step 6: Test Functionality After programming, the technician will verify that all key features are working correctly—including lock/unlock, trunk release, panic, and push-button start (if applicable).

Additional Considerations:

• Circuit board numbers (0140 vs. 3370) inside smart keys determine the required programming method. Proof of ownership may be required if all keys are lost. Always work with a technician familiar with Toyota’s immobilizer and smart key systems for accurate results.
