Problem:
Attempted to generate a smart key for a 2021 Toyota Corolla using the Autel KM100 (KM100E) and an Autel Toyota iKey. The tool displayed an error: "Incorrect key type. Use a non-Toyota universal key."
Is it normal for the Autel Toyota iKey not to work in this case?


Solution:
Yes, this is expected. The 2021 Corolla uses a 4A chip, which is not compatible with the Autel Toyota iKey (designed for 8A and 4D types).
To program a key for this vehicle, use a universal iKey instead of the Toyota-specific version.
