98 LS400 Keyless
Okay, I'm going to keep this issue short and sweet. My keyless entry isn't working on my remote, and hasn't for over a year. I recently changed the battery, the red light flashes when I hit buttons but I cannot lock/unlock or use security features on it. It is the original key from the car. I have tried programming/repogramming on several occasions which always leads to me getting to the steps where I hit the lock/unlock simultaneously and then the lock/lock buttons by themselves, everytime I get to this step the doors cycle lock/unlock twice resembling a failure to program. Does anyone have any ideas to try before I take it to a toyota dealership and they charge me a ridiculous amount? I have done plenty of research but none has really sufficed.

Could I technically buy this and put the transponder inside of it and just use the backup key and program the transponder myself?

Clearly not, so I need to find a replacement for the master key and swap the transponder into it, get the key cut at a dealership, and have it programmed?

since my transponder was the problem, I had to buy a key WITH the buttons IN it, take it to the dealer and they cut it and flashed it and it ALL worked 100$

look and see your code on the back mine was HYQ1512.
ALSO I had tried reprogramming before and my push button lock/unlock would fail so I needed to have the dealer "flash" it because they bypass that failure with their equipment. good luck
