Lets hope you have the RIGHT key currently. There are 2 ways a key can be programmed, one will allow for other keys to be programmed and the other won't. Look at that blinking red "Security" light next to the rear window switch... if you put the key in and that goes out IMMEDIATELY, you have the right key and no worries. If it blinks for another second or two (might go solid, I forget) ~ you're SOL.... sorry. The "fix" is a $1000 body ECU from Toyota (though my dealer shows it at $675 for online order), or lucking into the Right locksmith with the Right tools to reflash the chip on the board.
It can be DIY, but you'll have to search for that info yourself (searching is the easiest part, it gets substantially more complicated from there).
