2006 Camry Remote Control Programming doesn't save for more than a day

Question

I tried to program my 2006 camry remote controls. After completing the programming, it will stay for a day and remotes doesn't work again. Any idea what's wrong? I have brand new batteries in remotes (so, thats not the issue). Toyota dealer said 79.99 for diagnosing and extra to fix or reprogram.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA

   Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.
