World-First: Toyota Mechanical Key Programming (2019-2026) via OBD with Abrites TN024
Modern Toyota mechanical key systems have been a massive roadblock for independent workshops. When a customer loses all keys to a 2019–2026 Toyota(Texas AES) , the standard industry answer has always been heavy module disassembly or a tow to the dealer.
The Abrites TN024 license completely changes the game.
This is officially the world’s first and only solution that allows you to program mechanical keys for these vehicles directly via OBD and zn067. No other aftermarket tool on the planet can do this without pulling and opening the immobilizer module.
Let’s look at the financial reality.
Dealerships routinely quote customers around 1,600€ to resolve an All Keys Lost (AKL) situation on these models, largely due to the factory protocol of replacing the immobilizer hardware entirely. With the TN024, you bypass that hardware lockout. You keep the vehicle in your bay, protect the factory hardware seals, and deliver a highly profitable service while saving the customer serious money and downtime.
We built this to be a direct, empirical solution, but executing it requires understanding the physical connections. You won’t be desoldering anything on a PCB, but you will be using the Abrites ZN067 cable to properly bridge the vehicle’s network.
Here is the exact hardware routing required for the procedure:
- Disconnect the key-in switch and plug the ZN067 directly into the connector.
- Establish a connection to the ECU fuse.
- Establish a connection to the battery fuse.
Once that physical bridge is secure, the AVDI software handles the heavy lifting. The workflow itself is incredibly simple, though technicians should expect the calculation process to take some time to complete while it securely handshakes with Toyota’s architecture. If the vehicle is parked in a difficult location or you prefer a controlled environment, the entire procedure can also be executed on the bench directly with the immobilizer module.
Core Capabilities of the TN024 License:
- All Keys Lost (AKL): Program entirely new mechanical keys when absolutely zero working keys are available, without replacing the immobilizer.
- Add Spare Key: Efficiently program additional mechanical keys for fleet vehicles or standard customer duplicates.
- Remote Control Programming: Sync the remote locking functions with just a few clicks within the software.
- Remote Control Deletion
- Remove all but the current remote and transponder
- Complete Range Coverage: Total support for all Toyota models utilizing mechanical keys from model year 2019 through 2026.
Integrating the TN024 license into your AVDI ecosystem makes your workshop the exclusive provider in your region capable of conquering this specific generation of Toyota security via OBD.
It is the only tool engineered to bypass the 1,600€ dealership trap and get the job done directly on the car.
And the best part is – the procedure is completely un invasive and 100% safe with “0” module renewal.
Until next week,
