VIP RS3000 (1996-2002)

If you don't see any stickers, maybe if the previous owner(s) peeled it off, there is another obvious way to tell, and that is the status indicator/glass breakage sensor:

If you don't see a "TOYOTA SECURITY" status indicator anywhere inside the interior of the car, then you don't have the system.

However, if you do at least see the status indicator, then you're off to a good start. It will be very likely that you don't have the remotes. However, if you do have them, they look like this:

Before we even try to erase old remotes or program new ones, we'll need to locate the main security ECU. This is typically located under the driver's seat, and it looks like this: 

There should be a green button somewhere on the side of it. We'll need to use this to program new remotes and/or erase old remotes. Have a straightened paper clip handy.

ERASING old remote codes:

1. Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position; do NOT START the car.

2. Press and hold in the green button for 3 seconds.

3. The status indicator LED lights up for 5 seconds.

4. Within 5 seconds, press and hold in the green button for 2 more seconds.

5. The status indicator LED turns off, the piezo buzzer "chirps" three times, and the parking lights flash three times. 

6. You are now finished erasing all old remote codes.

ADDING NEW remotes:

1. Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position; do NOT START the car.

2. Press and hold in the green button for 3 seconds.

3. The status indicator LED lights up for 5 seconds.

4. Within 5 seconds, press the TOP button on the remote once.

5. The status indicator LED turns off, the piezo buzzer "chirps" once, and the parking lights flash once. 

6. You have finished programming the new remote.

7. To program more remotes, repeat steps 1-4.

8. Remove the key from the ignition to test the remote(s).
