Question: Can Xhorse Toyota XM38 smart key be programmed by Toyota Techstream software for a smart keyless entry A433 chip?

Answer:

Yes you can. But you need to generate first.
These type of keys work exactly like the OE remote does.

You will need to generate it as the correct key type with a vvdi device first, then you can program it with any device.

Open your OEM remote and you will find the board number. 271451-0500 use the last 4 (0500) digit to search in the Xhorse tool. Generate it with Xhorse and you can add with Techstream.
Using techstream is just OEM software, and to use OEM software to program keys you need a lsid/vsp, if you are not in the US, you can’t get a lsid/vsp.
The PIN code is for security, you have to deal with it either way.

Problem:

I’m trying to add a Xhorse XM38 smart key to a 2020 RAV4 using vvdi Key tool plus. I was able to backup eeprom data and program the key, but the only way to start the vehicle was by holding down the power button with the remote key. The remote wasn’t working either but I modified the frequency and got it to work. Does anyone know if I’m supposed to modify anything else in order to get the key to start the vehicle without having to push start with the key in button?  I tried 315 and it didn’t work. 312.11 and 314.35 worked.

Possible Solutions:

1).

The frequency is still not right, that’s why, try modify it.

Just changed frequency like original remote.

2). 

Another possibility is change the prox power settings.

Proximity power setting- last line on modifying Toyota Smart key is signal strength.
The lower the number, stronger the signal.
0 being most strongest and 6 being the weakest.

Some people changed the signal strength after that it will work good.

3).

You gotta add another key use another universal smart key to add a second key you can always reuse key again.

Question: Xhorse Toyota XM38 remote, cannot get TOY48 blank (i.e. 2012 Highlander or 2010 style Prius prox key) to insert into case. It only goes as far as photo. Is there a trick?

Here are tricks from customers:

1. Cut off the openings and shave off a bit at the root of the toy48 blade. Do both and it will be fine. Extra 10 min. Don’t cut your hand.

2. Shave off the inside of the case.

3. shorten blade to minimum length eg. the old one, then edit case

4.
Your putting in the wrong slot. If you move the key to the edge of case it will slide straight in.

5. Plastic tab on the inside, break tab, insert Toy48, get paid.

Problem:

Toyota Rav4 2020 USA market 8A 312/314mhz tested 3 listed remotes don’t work on Xhorse xm28 and xm38.
Car accepts only the original key in the procedure.
Original key is batch no: 14FBC in Vvdi mini key tool app software doesn’t find that key. Any idea is welcome.

Solution:

Best option is the OEM key.

Xhorse xm38 works as well. Here is the tip.

Use this one, works great. All Rav4 work with xhorse.
You’ll find it under Lexus, or use the search function.

If the frequency is not the same as this option. You have to adjust the frequency after you program it.

Go to VVDI Remote Function->Smart key customization
