I can't setup another Fob - help plz

cps_goodbuy · 03-04-2009, 08:24 AM

1999 year Rev 5 Beamsy Hardtop JDM

Trying to code another fob to it, BUT

Has remote locking, but don't know the type, thought it was TVSS IIIB but may not be, can't find any references and the ecu under the drivers seat doesn't seem to be the same as usdm mr2 systems (obviously)

There is no disernable identification marks on it.

Tried three methods now and nothing :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

to ad, current fob is 2 button, has open and lock, when you click lock twice the horn beeps once.

um, toyota fobs are supposed to be backwards compatable so the one I'm trying to synch should work, but thus far, there is no setting button on the ecu, and the process of opening closing the doors doesn't work, can anyone enlighten me :-)

bump!

Servin · 03-04-2009, 02:36 PM

Not on the MR2. The fobs are impossible to find and there is alot of difficulty getting them. Ill explain more in a few.

cps_goodbuy · 03-04-2009, 03:06 PM

Just thought to add, there are different types, especially between JDM and USDM throughout the options and revs.

Any one here whom understands the rev5 jdm system?

Eagerly awaiting the few :-)

Man if i could help i would. you got VIN number and ill try.
My car is Aussie delivery , so for me its easy just give them the vin and they will get me a new one after showing proof of ownership , rego papers.
I think that will be the hard one.
You may want to post on the audio section maybe someone has past experience

cps_goodbuy · 03-04-2009, 05:57 PM

Thanks for the comments Mandalay, very noobie question but where do I get the vin (which specific serial I mean)

thing is I sourced what I though was a compatable remote key, but maybe I've thrown away a little money :-( It was suppsoed to be a new key for my cars b-day

hehe, bought her on my b-day last year, she's a 1999, and so she'll be 10? lol

Damn remote

These JDM keys are a pain, walked on over to the other forums and it seems they really are a pain.

will post up some pics tomorrow if that may help

MANDALAY · 03-04-2009, 06:10 PM

We usually have then pop rivited in the front on the firewall

cps_goodbuy · 03-04-2009, 06:13 PM

yup, chassis serial and etc, know where that is lol

would it help if I took a pic of the ecu under the drivers seat?

puretone · 03-04-2009, 07:02 PM

try it the sure-fire way dude

cps_goodbuy · 03-05-2009, 04:26 AM

...thanks puretone

cps_goodbuy · 03-05-2009, 07:16 AM

Update!!

now none of my fobs work....

Edit: suppose I should elaborate, I have been following instructions for different and similar systems online, it was also suggested to me that i try to find the celica, mr2, and corolla guidance documents on this.
but anyhow, I took a good look at the ecu under the driver seat, unpluuged it as I needed to open the plastic box to see if there were any activation buttons ectetc, now no fobs/remotes work ....darn

I suppose a blown fuse? will check them all, can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Mandalay, do you know of any instructions for resetting the remote locking ecu?

Thanks

MANDALAY · 03-05-2009, 09:21 AM

No sorry buddy. I had my engine out , battery obviously disconnected , put my Beams in and fob just worked. Dont know any resetting. But with my vin i bought another fob as the one i use looked a bit worn , and it worked straight away ? So have no idea

Yup yup big differences and its a PITA system.

Please email my friend Akira: info@meiyuservice.com. He has hand built a handful of these systems to use in the US cars as almost none came with it here. He will most def. be able to answer any of your questions. Just tell him Servin from the OC referred you.

cps_goodbuy · 03-05-2009, 09:44 AM

Thanks Servin, will do!

If I find out a work around or a good method for working with this system I will write up a post on it.

May try disconnecting the battery, make sure all fuses are ok, and all the leads are in, then "maybe" my first remote will work again lol

cps_goodbuy · 03-06-2009, 12:07 PM

lol, for no reason at all my original fob/remote is now working?

It was suggested to me to try and find a denso type remote and finding the coding instructions. what do you guys think?
