Here is the exact item I bought. It ships from Hong Kong so give it a few weeks. No fancy packaging but it is protected.
ALin1 SWITCHBLADE KEY REMOTE FOR TOYOTA HYQ12BBX CHIP DOT RFID KEYLESS ENTRY FOB | eBay
Before you go try to get the key cut remove the pin and pull the blade. The pin is located right by the 90. Look closely at the key and you will see that it is actually two pieces of metal. I used a very small punch to get it out but a picture nail will work as well. Pop the pin out and you will be able to remove the key blank. Just take the blank it goes in all key machines.
There are two processes you have to do with the flip style key. The first is for the key itself and the second is for the fob.
Key programming. YOU MUST HAVE A MASTER KEY. If your key opens the glove box and trunk.....it is a master.
1. Take the new key and one master key that can start your 4runner(old key) into the 4runner with you and close the driver's door.(immobilizer light should be blinking)
2. Insert old key, remove old key, Insert old key, remove old key,
Insert old key, remove old key, Insert old key, remove old key,
Insert old key (immobilizer light should be off from the first insertion)
3. open and close driver's door six times (immobilizer light should be off)
Step 2 and 3 need to be done in less than 35 seconds(pdf says 35 seconds)
4.remove the old key. (immobilizer light should come on(steady on, not blinking))
5. insert the new key(immobilizer light should be blinking)
Then just sit there and wait, after about one minute the blinking immobilizer light should go off and you're done.
For the fob: This does not require a master fyi.
