Important Notice: The 2024 Toyota Highlander does not support onboard programming of smart key remote fobs. The programming requires specialized diagnostic equipment and should be performed by a qualified professional.

Programming Steps:

  • Step 1: Locate a Qualified Professional Find a certified professional who specializes in smart key programming. Ensure they have experience with the 2024 Toyota Highlander model to guarantee accurate and efficient programming.
  • Step 2: Consider Transportation Options If your Highlander is operational, consider driving to the professional's location. This may be more economical than paying for a mobile service where the professional comes to you.
  • Step 3: Verify Professional Credentials Confirm that the professional has the necessary qualifications and the latest diagnostic tools required for programming Toyota smart key systems.
  • Step 4: Schedule an Appointment Arrange a suitable time for the programming, ensuring the professional is prepared with all necessary equipment for your specific vehicle model.
  • Step 5: Attend the Programming Session During the appointment, the professional will connect specialized computer equipment to your vehicle's diagnostic system to program the smart key remote fob.
  • Step 6: Supervise the Programming Process Stay present during the programming to ensure that all steps are properly executed. This oversight helps ensure the integrity of the programming.
  • Step 7: Test the Smart Key Functions After programming, thoroughly test the smart key remote fob to ensure all functionalities (such as locking, unlocking, trunk release, and engine start) are working correctly.
  • Step 8: Program Additional Remotes If you have more than one remote, it is advisable to program all during the same session to ensure they all function properly with your vehicle’s system.
  • Step 9: Final Verification Make sure the vehicle recognizes the new smart key without any issues, and confirm there are no warning lights or error messages displayed on the dashboard.
