There are two different fobs in the pic. Which one did you end up with?

I think the smaller one is just what they use as their logo or whatever. I got the bigger one pictures. It's grey in color and has a blue light when activated.
 
I guess I was lucky. I bought my factory replacement about 2 months ago here:
TOYOTA OEM 00014-S0260 SK+ REMOTE | eBay
46 sold and now they are sold out. Might be worth a call to the dealership (Fred Haas Toyota) to see if they have or can obtain any more if anyone is interested. To @JLH911, thanks for posting an option that works.
 
For $16 I figured I'd try one. Order placed.
 
Do you have a link to the programming instructions you used? ...or can you just copy/paste the instructions here? I seached a little while, and the best I found was a thread with a link to another thread that said, "For programming don't count three seconds just watch the sec[urity] led on dash. Once it is lit release green button and press remote button."

Any idea how to tell if your truck originally came with keyless? Or is it like most newer vehicles, if it came with power locks they can be programmed?
 
Here's a copy of instructions

My remote arrived today, and even came with instructions. They were effectively the same instructions posted by @JLH911 above. The remote feels solid, and appears to be good quality. No problem pairing the remote from original post eBay link. (...once I found the pairing button. It was easy to see the button when I shined a light under the driver side rail of the driver's seat.) I'm fairly excited to have a working alarm, even if it is 20 year old tech. So this is ABSOLUTELY worth the $15 to me!

On the downside, the range is almost as poor as most have reported the factory system. It may work from 50' for me. Time to research "grey wire mod" and find how to improve the antenna. Also as previously mentioned in this thread, the lock and unlock buttons both do the same thing. If the truck is locked, pressing either button unlocks it. If the truck is unlocked, either button locks it, and turns on the alarm. I tested that the alarm works because of the next thing I don't like ...unlocking with the key does not turn off the alarm. (I think that's an issue with the alarm system, and nothing to do with any remote.) Finally, I don't think 4 of the buttons on the (6 button) remote do anything on my truck.

Net opinion: I'm buying another of these remotes, to have two! Thanks for starting this thread!
 
...and so I can find it later (and so others who buy this remote can find it), here is the "grey wire mod".

Glad it worked out for you!

Thanks for posting. They had one pop back stock and I just snagged it!!

They got one back in stock, and I decided to get an OEM remote to go with the discount fobs I'd ordered. I wanted a spare. I thought the OEM remote only has two buttons. The one they shipped to me was a 3 button remote, did not say Toyota, and (most importantly) did not pair with my truck. I just sent them an email to discuss returning it. (from their eBay ad, that seems like an option they offer for the first several days)

On the chance that my LC had reached it's 4 fob limit, I cleared all pairing from my alarm by activating the security light, then pressing the pairing button again within 5 seconds. I got the double horn honk mentioned in @JLH911 's instructions on pairing. I confirmed that none of my fobs worked. I tried again to pair the "OEM" remote, and no luck. I paired one of the $15 remotes, and had no problem. I tried the OEM again, and nothing. I tried a second $15 fob and it also paired.

After clearing my alarm and re-pairing my $15 remotes, ONLY the button I pressed to pair the alarm works (but still locks/arms alarm - then unlocks/disarms). I'll soon check to see if the other "unlock" button can be paired to lock/unlock my brother's Land Cruiser. (The first set of pairing instructions say you can use one two button fob to control two TVSS alarms. One button for each.)
 
To clarify, the key fob that Fred Haas Toyota sells is for the (Audiovox securikey+) alarm system. This system was a dealer installed option at the port and is the exact 3 button key fob that came with my 97 40th anniversary.
 
Sometimes you find interesting stuff when searching the Internet. While searching to find a 2 button remote that worked (for a similar price to the $15 remote @JLH911 's top post), I found directions for changing the programming on the alarm, not just to accept the remote. RS3000 Toyota Vehicle Intrusion Protection

Now I have to see if one of the buttons on my 6-button remote will work for the programming steps. I'm hoping that the button that one of my lock/unlock buttons works as the "top" button in the instructions, and the other button works as the "bottom", despite being side by side and not the exact remote.
