Mobile Prado programming — spare keys, remotes & lost keys

Toyota Prado systems vary by year and model. Some older variants support manual remote pairing, while newer systems commonly require diagnostic programming — especially for immobiliser keys and push-to-start proximity keys.

We can help with Prado:
  • Remote/fob programming (manual or diagnostic where supported)
  • Spare keys (transponder/immobiliser programming where supported)
  • Push-to-start proximity keys (many models, compatibility dependent)
  • All keys lost solutions (model dependent)
  • Fault-finding when DIY remote pairing doesn’t work

Common reasons Prado programming fails

  • Remote frequency / part number mismatch
  • Low vehicle battery voltage
  • Aftermarket alarm/immobiliser interference
  • Door/ignition switches not being detected correctly
  • Some variants require diagnostics (manual mode not supported)

Tip: When you call, tell us the Prado year, whether it’s turn-key or push-to-start, and whether you have any working keys/remotes.

Service area

We’re mobile across the Gold Coast and Tweed Coast. We can attend your home, workplace, or roadside location (where safe).

Pricing

Pricing depends on the Prado year/variant, what you have now (working key/remote or none), and whether you need supply + program or diagnostic work.

  • Program only: you already have a compatible remote/key
  • Supply + program: we supply a compatible remote/key and program it
  • All keys lost: additional steps may be required (model dependent)

Prado key programming FAQ

Do you program Toyota Prado keys as well as remotes?

Yes, where supported. Remote locking programming is different to immobiliser (transponder) key programming. What’s possible depends on the Prado year/variant and whether you have an existing working key.

Can you program push-to-start Prado proximity keys?

Yes — for many Prado proximity systems we can program spare keys and assist in lost-key situations. Compatibility depends on model, year and immobiliser system.

Can you help if I’ve lost all keys to my Prado?

Often, yes (model dependent). All-keys-lost work may require diagnostic programming and additional steps. Call with your Prado year and whether it’s turn-key or push-to-start and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

Can you come to me on the Gold Coast or Tweed Coast?

Yes. Need Car Keys is a mobile service across the Gold Coast & Tweed Coast.
