If you’re asking whether the ZN039 (or ZN039‑2) Toyota Transponder Emulator by Abrites can be used on a 2007 Toyota Corolla S without the original key, here’s what you need to know:
🔐 What the ZN039 Emulator Does
-
The emulator mimics a master key, enabling key learning and emergency start procedures for Toyota vehicles with smart systems and DST‑AES smart keys up to 2018.
-
It is explicitly designed for All Keys Lost (AKL) situations, letting you emulate a master key even if you have no working keys.
🔧 Does It Work on Your 2007 Corolla S?
-
The ZN039 is targeted at Toyota smart key systems using DST‑AES technology.
-
The 2007 Corolla S uses a traditional mechanical key with a 4D‑67 transponder chip, not a smart key ignition system.
-
Therefore, this emulator is not compatible with your vehicle’s key system—it is meant for a different technology.
🧾 Toyota Key Facts (2007 Corolla S)
-
Your car uses a 4D‑67 chip type transponder key, requiring proper programming to the immobilizer system.
-
You can program a new key using Techstream software with a Mini VCI or similar diagnostic cable, following a sequence to register the new key.
-
If all you have is a valet key (non-master key), it cannot be used to program new keys. You’ll need a master key or dealer/locksmith intervention for reseeding.
