    Question

    Why is my AUTEK IKEY820 not working for a 2013 Toyota Yaris with all keys lost?

    Answer

    If your AUTEK IKEY820 is not working for a 2013 Toyota Yaris in an "all keys lost" situation, please check the following requirements based on the official manual:

    • Authorization: Certain vehicle makes, specifically including Toyota, may require an additional authorization license to function. Check if your device has the necessary Toyota authorization active.
    • Software Update: Ensure your device is running the latest software. You can update it by downloading the Autek Ikey 820 Update Tool from autektools.com and following the update steps in the manual.
    • Tokens: Verify that your device has enough tokens. You can check this by going to the ABOUT menu on the device. If tokens are at zero, you must use the update tool to activate more.

    Note: "All Keys Lost" scenarios on Toyota vehicles often require specific procedures or bypass cables depending on the immobilizer system. If the software is updated and authorized but still fails, the specific 2013 G-chip system may require a specialized adapter or a different menu selection within the KEY PROGRAM interface.

    Question

    Where can I find a link to pay for a one-year subscription or activation code for the AUTEK IKEY820?

    Answer

    The official manual for the AUTEK IKEY820 does not provide a direct payment link for subscription codes. However, it outlines the process for obtaining authorization and activation codes:

    • Authorization: For specific car makes (like GM, Ford, Toyota), the manual states that users must pay extra for updates. These license numbers are typically provided to customers via email to avoid shipping costs for a physical card.
    • Activation (Tokens): If you need to add tokens, you must use the AUTEK IKEY 820 Update Tool on your PC to generate a REQ CODE, which is then used to obtain an ANS CODE.
    • Official Contact: To purchase codes or subscriptions, you should contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor. The manual identifies the official website as www.autektools.com.

    We recommend checking the "How To Buy" section on their website or contacting their support email (often listed as sales@autektools.com in their documentation) for the specific one-year payment link.
