I have a '97 MR2 mk2, last night one of the key fobs has lost synchronisation with the car it would seem. Changed the battery over this morning still no good. Red light flashes on the key fob.
I've heard there might be a sequence of removing the battery / pressing buttons required to resynchronise ?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Key Fob Sync
I believe you have to stand close to the car and hold both buttons on the fob for 20 seconds (assuming it's a factory alarm on a UK car).

Factory Fit, UK car. Is that with the car already unlocked or locked?
(My other fob works fine)

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Key Fob Sync
the toyota owners manual says in case the system has lost synchronisation, press both buttons of the remote simultaneously for 2 seconds hope this helps

Hi,
Just bought a spare fob from ebay.
Does anyone know how to reprogram a new fob?
I have a TVSS III alarm on a 98 UK MR2, on the back of the fob it reads RTT/D/X 1123 and the part no. is 08191-00880.

You could try the fob reset not sure if its going to do anything unless its programmed.
Take battery out of fob.
Get well away from car.
Press down both fob buttons for 30 seconds
Re-assemble fob.
Go to car press unlock twice.
This corrects fobs that have become unsynced with the car, not sure if it will do anything but worth a try.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Key Fob Sync
Nfortubately this only works if the fob has been programmer to that specific ecu in the past.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Key Fob Sync
i have a couple of fobs that ill be selling soon (prob sold to a mate) would it be better to sell them with the ecu from that car and the alarm control boxes?

occasionally mine stops working i fix by pressing both buttons on the fob together for a few seconds then pres unlock twice it works for me (same part number)
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Key Fob Sync
Thanks for the reply, I think I am going to get 2 fobs from ebay as one is taped up to stop things dropping out and the other the battery moves about inside as one of the ridges that keeps it in one place is broken.
Hopefully I can take the boards out of mine and put them in the better condition ones.
