Question: Is it possible to program a 2026 Toyota Tacoma in an All Keys Lost (AKL) situation using the Autel KM100?
Answer: Yes – but with some important caveats and workarounds.
What Worked
A locksmith successfully completed this job using the following setup:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | 2026 Toyota Tacoma |
| Tool | Autel KM100 |
| Bypass Cable | Toyota 30-pin cable (required to bypass the gateway) |
| Keys Used | 2 × Xhorse XM38 keys |
The Process & Challenges
1. IMMO Data Backup Failed
The KM100 was unable to back up the immobilizer (IMMO) data directly. This is a known limitation on newer Toyota models.
2. PIN Code Workaround Required
Instead of relying on IMMO backup, the technician had to request rolling PIN codes through a third-party service provider. A total of 3 PIN codes were used:
| Step | Action | PIN Codes Used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reset the system | 1st PIN |
| 2 | Add the first key | 2nd PIN |
| 3 | Add the second key | 3rd PIN |
3. Timing
-
First key (AKL): ~16 minutes
-
Second key (additional): Much quicker
And just as a side note: you’ll need to sync the steering box and it requires another PIN code. So he decided to add another key and then sync the steering box for both of them, but after adding the second key, both fobs worked perfectly and didn’t need to sync it.
The Autel KM100 can handle a 2026 Toyota Tacoma AKL job – but you’ll need the Toyota 30-pin bypass cable and rolling PIN codes from a third-party provider. The IMMO backup function on the KM100 will not work for this vehicle, so plan accordingly.
