Step-by-Step Programming Instructions for Your 2008 Camry Key Fob
Follow these instructions carefully to program your 2008 Toyota Camry key fob. Ensure you have all necessary remotes you wish to program before starting, as you will need to program all of them in one session.
-
Preparation is Key: Begin with your 2008 Camry completely off, the key removed from the ignition. Make sure the driver’s side door is open, and all other doors are closed and locked. Importantly, ensure the driver’s door is unlocked.
-
Quick Key Insertion (Twice): Within 5 seconds, perform the following actions:
A. Insert your key into the ignition switch, and immediately pull it out. Do not turn the key on.
B. Repeat this action once more. Insert the key into the ignition, and immediately pull it out again. This must be done within 5 seconds of the first insertion. -
Door Cycling and Key Insertion (Within 40 Seconds): Now, within 40 seconds of step 2, proceed with these steps:
A. Close the driver’s side door, then open it again.
B. Repeat this door cycle one more time. Close the driver’s side door, then open it again.
C. Insert the key into the ignition switch (again, do not turn it on) and pull it out. -
Another Door Cycle and Ignition Sequence (Within 40 Seconds): Within another 40 seconds, follow these steps precisely:
A. Close the driver’s side door, then open it.
B. Close the driver’s side door, then open it again.
C. Insert the key into the ignition and this time, leave it in the ignition switch.
D. Close the driver’s door.
E. Turn the ignition to the ‘ON’ position (just before starting the engine), then immediately turn it back to the ‘OFF’ position.
F. Remove the key from the ignition. -
Confirmation of Programming Mode: Within 3 seconds of removing the key in step 4F, listen for the power door locks to cycle. They should automatically lock and then unlock. This lock cycle indicates that your 2008 Toyota Camry has successfully entered programming mode. If you do not hear the locks cycle, return to step 1 and repeat the process carefully.
-
Remote Programming (Within 40 Seconds): Now, to program your key fob remote(s), act quickly within 40 seconds:
A. On the first remote, press and hold both the ‘lock’ and ‘unlock’ buttons simultaneously for about 1.5 seconds.
B. Immediately after releasing both buttons, press and hold only the ‘lock’ button for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle once (lock then unlock) to confirm successful programming of that remote. If the door locks cycle twice, it indicates the remote was not accepted. In this case, repeat steps 6A and 6B for that specific remote.
C. If you have additional remotes to program, repeat steps 6A and 6B for each new remote. Remember to do this within the 40-second window. -
Final Step – Open Driver’s Door: Open the driver’s side door to conclude the programming sequence.
Congratulations! You have now programmed your 2008 Toyota Camry key fob. Test each remote to ensure they are functioning correctly, locking and unlocking your doors as expected.
