Glanza-Blitz Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Hi im new to this forum, basically i have a question about my Glanza 1997.Im the first uk owner of my Glanza, and it arrived with a plain black single button keyfob. When i press the button on the Keyfob the little red LED flashes but its really dull like it needs a new battery?At the moment the keyfob doesnt seem to lock or unlock the car however close i put it to the interior sensor. I went to the Toyota garage and they had a look at the keyfob and said they dont want to take it apart as it looks like its been glued together so it will just break. they can order me a new fob for £22 but they dont know how they can reprogame it to the car. Does anyone know how to reprograme the fob to the car?Does anyone know how to change the battery?ThanksJames Quote
Idrees Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Shouldn't the battery be pretty easy to change? Mine has a little cover at the back of the fob which pops off, but thats a Cobra alarm Quote
stu0500 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Hi mate. ive got a toyota fob too,mines got two buttons on, i also have noticed that th battry is glued in too. Quote
lobotomy Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I had a RCL keyfob on my old Glanza too -- it only worked from about 3feet away from the car tho. I was going to replace the battery but I was told to watch out because taking the battery out might reset the fob... needing it to be reprogrammed! But I didn't know how to reprogram it either sorry Quote

Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Toyota key fobs are useless..Hence why i took a hammer to mine in a slight mood swing.Get a proper alarm system installed bro.Cobras are quality and good price.As are Toads.Both brilliant systems for not alot of pennys Any alarm fitter will install a new rcl system for an all in price.Craig.

tripotico Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Hello, this is my first post, and im glad I can help with this...Recently I purchased a EP91 here in the Dominican Republic (they are getting popular around here, with left hand steering conversion). The thing is, I noticed my remote was also functioning strange, sometimes did not work at all. So I called in my rotary powertool to the rescue and with a smal disc I opened the case, and discovered that it doesnt work with RF, but with IR, then tried it again and from a distance of 6 ± 7 feet I can open the doors. The battery is held in place by a thin plate soldered to the back of it. Mine is working fine so no need to replace. I also made a hole in the front-left side of the remote so the IR LED can send the signal with ease. To put it together use Epoxy glue and with a little craftmanship you can leave it looking as "new", or at least you tried! ill post pics when I find my camera cable... Quote
