There's a tiny 'on off' toggle switch down there and there's a red security LED light on the row of switches just left of the steering wheel. Any ideas? I want one of those nice, streamlined key fobs too. I hate my current one. I wonder if the programming would be the same or if that fob wouldn't even work at all.

edit - reason I ask is some people have mentioned having similar setups to mine on the YT video's for programming these fobs

thanks
Any system on a model before '99 is going to be an add-on system, so the body ECU (the module with the green button to program the remote) is what you need to find. From what I've seen it's usually under the driver's seat, but could theoretically be anywhere. It could be what you're seeing behind the driver's side kick panel. I don't know what the toggle switch is, but look for a green button. That's what you're going to use for the programming steps.

The grey RS3000 fob that I linked in my previous post should work for you.

Wow, 60 bucks? At least you can confirm that they don't work, I suppose, and you can get refunds anyway. That grey RS3000 is only 35 and should be the answer to your problems.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Those prices are for 2 fobs just FYI.

I have the set I bought on eBay and the set I bought on amazon packed up for return and the return addresses are the same despite being different seller names so there is zero difference between the amazon and the eBay options...Amazon is just more expensive.

Ahhh, okay. That makes much more sense.

It's funny, sometimes Ebay seems like the cheaper, less reliable option, but it clearly has a lot of the same sellers. I guess you just have to watch out for fly-by-night companies, but the rating system actually makes that a bit easier.

Grey key fobs showed up today and they don't work either. Is it possible that I have a weird one-off alarm system? Is there one that could be installed at the dealer if it didn't come with it from the factory that uses a different key fob?

Wow, really? You got these exact ones and they aren't working?

If you found that body ECU with the green button and followed the instructions, then I'm all out of ideas.

These are all the ones I've tried. They've all come from New Jersey and come in the same exact packaging so I suspect they're all coming from the same parent company.

Yep, those are all confirmed not to work. I'm telling you, buy the one I linked. I know, it looks exactly the same, but it's not! Look at the part number.

EDIT: Wait a minute, the links have changed since I posted them! Grrrrr. The first link I posted is broken now, and the second goes to one that is no longer the same product. This happened within the last week. I checked my order history and it's the first link, which is now broken. Says the product doesn't exist. Sorry man, wish I would have gotten the 2-pack so I could just send you one!

EDIT EDIT: Okay, even though the second link I put up is a different listing, it looks like it's just a two-pack of the same part number that I got. I know it says 1998-2001, but if you have the same body ECU with the green button, then it should work for you. Here's the link again: Amazon.com: For 98-01 Toyota Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob Dealer Installed Systems RS3000 BAB237131-022, 08191-00922 - GREY - 2 PACK: Automotive Can't hurt, you've already tried everything else!

Thanks! I didn't even think to look at part numbers. Just been looking at the transmitter ID code. Just placed the order. Here's hoping!

Went the eBay route and got an old OEM one. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.
