This service is for reprogramming the immobilizer system of your 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 Toyota Corolla or Toyota Matrix, either with automatic or manual transmission. FREE programming of your car’s VIN is included in this service.
This service is needed if:
- You lost all of your keys and need the ECM to accept a new key or keys.
- If your original ECM is defective and was replaced by a used ECM and you tried the sync process without success.
As part of this service:
1. If for any reason, the immobilizer memory chip is defective or damaged (this happens sometimes), then we will proceed to replace it for you and reprogram it at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
2. If your ECM software version is not up to date we will update it with the latest software (calibration) for your specific model, available directly from Toyota.
3. (Optional) For the VIN, we will use the same VIN found in the memory of the ECM. Should you require the programming of a different VIN for any reason, it can be optionally entered at checkout in a form provided for that purpose. So simply, if a VIN is provided, it will be used. Otherwise, we will use the VIN already existing in the ECM’s memory.
This service applies to the 2005-2008 Crolla or Matrix, with the following ECM part numbers. Since there could be models not listed, if you do not see your ECM part number in the table below, please contact us with your ECM part number (“89661-xxxxx”) so we can inform you if it is covered by this service.

In case you don’t know about the “Sync Process” for Toyota, which is something you can do yourself to synchronize the immobilizer of a used ECM to the immobilizer system of your car, the information about it can be found in the article in the link below. This DOES NOT work if you lost all the keys:

OTHER NOTES ABOUT THIS SERVICE:
1. This solution is done by reprogramming a memory chip inside the ECM. No parts are removed and no modifications are done to the circuit. Your ECM is safe with us. This is a clean programming procedure. The only replacement that could be involved in this process is in the event of a defective memory chip. In that case, it will be replaced for FREE by an original part.
2. The ECMs that we receive are assumed to be in good working conditions. The scope of this service is the immobilizer circuit only and does not include repairing any defects of the ECM, except in the case where the immobilizer memory chip needs replacement.
3. The job will be done in just one business day and it will be shipped back to you the next business day.
4. When the ECM is returned to you, you just reinstall it in your car and it will be ready to use.
5. If entering the VIN in the order, please be accurate. The VIN must have 17 alphanumeric characters. If you provide a wrong or mistaken VIN, please contact us with the correct number within 24 hours after the order is placed. Otherwise, we cannot be held liable for programming the ECM with an incorrect VIN.
6. We understand that mistakes do happen. If you send the wrong VIN or if you require a different VIN and forget inform us in the provided form at checkout, you may send back the ECM and let us know the VIN so we can enter it. In this case, the service WILL NOT be charged, but we will need to charge the exact shipping expenses determined by USPS or FedEx (your choice). We DO NOT profit from shipping charges. Any discount offered by USPS or FedEx is passed directly to the customer.
7. The VIN form at checkout is optional. You do not have to provide it and can leave it blank if you do not require a change of VIN.

1. COVERAGE
a. The included service warranty term (stated at the top of every product page) covers the service job done and any parts replaced.
b. The basic shipping insurance for the unit when shipped is $100. If the customer desires higher-value insurance, please let us know before ordering so we can send an invoice for the extra insurance.
c. In the extremely rare occasion that the serviced product fails (related to the service), showing either the same or similar problems as before, we will consult the customer first and if we determine the problem is related to the service done, the unit will be taken back for revision at no cost to the customer for the new job or new parts to be replaced. If on the other hand, the customer decides to get a refund because of this, we will issue a refund after revising the unit. If we do not revise the unit (the customer does not send it back), we. unfortunately, won’t be able to issue a refund.
2. SHIPPING COVERAGE IN WARRANTY CLAIMS
a. In cases described in the above paragraph, inbound and outbound shipping costs coverage will depend on the case, as described below.
b. Warranty cases where shipping IS covered:
If a warranty claim is filed anytime within the warranty period and the problem is caused by something we did wrong (any error in the service process), we will cover shipping both ways if the warranty is claimed within the first 30 days after the customer receives the serviced unit. This applies to shipments within the USA and USA Territories. Inbound shipments are not covered in warranty claims for any service done to an international location. However, outbound shipments will be covered in these first 30 days.
c. If a warranty is claimed after 30 days of the customer receiving the serviced unit, we will only cover outbound (return) shipping. This applies to shipments within the USA and USA Territories. Inbound or outbound shipments are not covered after 30 days of any warranty claim for any service done to an international location.
d. Warranty cases where shipping is NOT covered:
If a warranty claim is filed within the warranty period, but after 30 days or more after the customer receives the serviced unit, we will still cover the service and parts but the customer must cover shipping both ways.
3. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE CASES
a. The warranty for this service is limited and has an expiration date, as stated at the top of this information page. No warranty will be covered after the expiration date.
b. If a warranty is claimed within the warranty term, coverage will be subject to our warranty-accepting conditions defined in our Terms and Conditions page, in section five, “D”. An example is, if the warranty seal is removed, the warranty will be voided, among other rules. We recommend checking the previously mentioned section for all the conditions.
4. PROGRAMMING SERVICES
a. The service warranty described on this page also applies to programming services. In these cases, the coverage is for the programming job only, except in cases where parts needed to be replaced. In those latter cases, parts will be covered under this warranty too.
These programming services are offered and done assuming that the ECM or unit you send for programming is in good working condition. We always do some minor tests and check for corrosion, broken areas, broken or missing parts, etc., and do a complete visual inspection to have a certain assurance that the ECM is good, but no full tests are done in programming services. The tests done are to ensure that the programming was done correctly. We are not liable if the unit you sent is not in good working order before the service.
b. In the extremely rare event that the programmed unit fails (related to the programming service done), we will consult the customer first. If programming is suspected or determined to be the culprit, the unit will be taken back for revision and reprogramming if needed, at no cost to the customer for the new job. Shipping will work the same as in section #2 above.
Finally, if the serviced unit fails (except for programming services), and the issue is not related to what we did previously, we always stand by our customers and we can take a look at it in good faith and repair or correct the problem if possible, at no charge to the customer for the job and/or parts. In these cases, shipping must be covered by the customer.
The shipping fee charged for the services is for “return shipping”. That is, to cover the expenses of returning the serviced unit to the customer. Shipping the unit to be serviced to our location must be done by the customer once he or she receives the address where to send the unit to be serviced.
Once we receive your unit to be serviced, we will notify you, either through email, text, or both. When your unit is completed, usually the next business day, the unit will be returned and we will notify you and provide the details and the tracking number.
You may also receive a text (SMS) message with the same information as an alternative way of ensuring that the sent message reaches you. For this, it is optional but recommended, that you enter a mobile phone number when ordering.
SHIPPING TO THE USA
There is a FREE shipping option (through USPS Priority Mail) for locations in the USA and USA Territories. This covers the USA’s 48 contiguous States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
Delivery time for the offered free shipping option to USA locations will be 3 to 5 business days. On the other hand, the faster (paid) USPS and FedEx options for USA locations will deliver the next business day for FedEx Priority, or 1-3 business days for USPS Express and FedEx Economy.
PO (Post Office box) and APO (Army Post Office box) addresses are accepted but only for the USPS shipping services.
INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS (OUT OF THE USA)
We ship to international locations covered by FedEx and in some selected cases, by USPS Express. Transit times vary with the location. For most locations served by FedEx, transit time is from 3 to 10 business days. USPS to selected international locations is less expensive but may take from 6 to 15 business days but it is not as secure as FedEx due to the way the package is handled. Once USPS brings the package to the destination country, the package is then handled by that country from that point on.
Import Customs clearance in the destination country may add one or more days to the delivery time when shipping to international locations.

We DO NOT profit from shipping. Any rate shown by the provided calculator is passed to you directly from USPS and FedEx through our connection with both companies.
We accept PayPal. You can pay your order with credit or debit cards through PayPal and have the strong PayPal’s buyer protection.
Once you complete your checkout, you will be automatically redirected to PayPal for completing the payment. Once the payment is completed, PayPal will send you back to our website to the payment and order confirmation section.
