How do you unlock a Toyota Corolla?

I bought a 2015 Toyota Corolla and I love it so far. The only issue I’m having is with unlocking it. I don’t know if it’s the key fob or something else. How can I unlock my Toyota Corolla?

Fortunately, on 2015 models, there should be an actual key attached to the key fob. So, to unlock your
Toyota Corolla
, simply put the physical key in the lock on the front driver’s side door and turn it to the right.
However, if you’re talking about the unlock button on the key fob not working, you may have to replace the battery—or the entire key. Start by replacing the battery, as this is a cheap fix and the most likely culprit.
To replace the battery on your Toyota Corolla key fob, follow these instructions:
  • Use another key or a flathead screwdriver to pry apart the key fob at the top.
  • Remove the circuitry and battery housing. You can pry this open with a flathead screwdriver or a butter knife. A penny can also work if your supplies are limited.
  • Replace the old battery with a new CR2016 battery. These usually cost about $3 for a two-pack that you can buy at any pharmacy, hardware store, or general store.
  • Snap the battery housing back together, place it in the key fob housing, and snap the key fob housing back together.
With any luck, this will take care of the issue. If a new battery still doesn’t work, you will have to replace the key fob. The cost for a new key fob for a 2015 Toyota Corolla is between $40 and $80.
