🔑 Can I Program Toyota Keys with a Scan Tool?
Technically, yes, you can program Toyota keys using a professional scan tool — but in most cases, it’s not the most effective option.
🧰 What You Need to Know
Whether you use a scan tool or Toyota’s OEM software (GTS+), you’ll need specific security ID codes as part of the key programming process.
These ID codes are not freely available and require an active subscription to Toyota’s security portal.
📉 Why a Scan Tool Isn’t Always the Best Choice
Even if your scan tool supports Toyota key programming, you’ll still need:
-
A Toyota Techstream/GTS+ subscription
-
Access to seed/key or immobilizer codes
So once you’ve already subscribed, you’re better off using Toyota's GTS+ software to handle the programming directly — it’s more accurate, better supported, and designed specifically for their vehicles.
