The dealer wanted to charge me $300 for a new key and programming, so I bought an after-market chip key from Amazon for $20 and found someone at ACE who cut it for me for free (although they are not supposed to cut keys that are not theirs). Finding a place to cut your key is the hardest part. Other places wanted to charge me $30-$80 to cut and or program my own key.

Optional: Erase the existing keys
Something that you may want to do, if you do not know how many keys are already programmed, is erase the existing keys and start over. It is very similar to programming your keys. Using the previous instructions as a template:
1. Using a master key (original key), insert (and remove) it from the ignition 6 times. On the 6th time, leave it in the ignition, then:
2. Open and close the driver's door 7 times.
3. The security light should now stay lit red. When you remove the master key, this will be the only key that is still programmed.
After this, you should be able to add your keys. Toyotas will allow 4 or 5 master keys, and 3 valet keys to be programmed.
