Replica keys
Hi. I only got one key from the toyota dealer and he wants 300 usd to fix a new one. Could i buy a non original key thats compatible with my car and then go to any toyota dealer to program? Anyone have experience from that? Thanks!

If you are talking about security key/encoded key any good
Hard ware store will have a code reader that they can copy your
Code and cut a new key 60/85 bucks just had a few made a month

Ok so i can buy a replica key on amazon and go to a hard ware store? That will probably save me about 200 usd...

#$%^& Keys
The key has a chip in it with a unique code. Some hardware stores will supply a key without the remote functions and program it with a code that matches your key. This is cloning and is the easiest way.

Next is to buy a key, get it cut and program it yourself. A lot of messing around but it can be done. Have a look at an old post of mine ---

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-ge...ml#post1497041

and search for other posts about getting a spare key.

i'd just find a used one.. they make the same key for quite a few toyotas..

here's an example of new ones for $53 for 2 uncut keys with transmitters in them. otherwise you can get the shell and buttons for roughly $5

How much did the dealership charge you to program it? I was getting quotes of about $100 to do it. Seems steep to me since it probably takes about 5-10 minutes max.

That quote seems appropriate, but I sweet talked the service manager into doing it for free. Might want to buy the software and program it yourself - I believe a lot of guys have went that route, too.
