    I lost one of my keys around my house somewhere. I have a total of 3 remotes since I have a remote start system so I only need a key

    My main question is what would be the cheapest way I can get a key purchased, programmed and cut?
    Would I be better off buying an uncut key on ebay and having toyota cut and program it or just program it or should I just go there and purchase it all through them?
    Looking for the cheapest way out...depending how cheap I wouldn't mind having 3 so all my remotes have a key but is there a limit to how many keys I can have programmed? Is there a way to unprogram the one I lost? Or can I have all 4 keys in case the one turns up?

    @Roman may have the answers I need...?

    I think a locksmith might be able to program your key too? I wonder if it can be done with Tech stream?

    Yeah, you can get it on Amazon. Just be sure to get one that works with the operating system of your computer.

    Solely dependent on the dealer. We do it here because we like to help our customers, but I have heard of some dealerships being jerks about it and requiring the key be purchased from them.

    What year is yours?

    We have Ace Hardware stores here in Colorado that can cut/program specific keys for a fraction of dealer costs, haven’t verified for a Toyota yet, but they cut/programmed a spare for my Jeep GC key for like $30 last year.

    Ace here charges about double that. I took a Toyota key to them and they screwed it up when cutting it. Not sure how I have had other keys cut there. I did not immediately ask them for reimbursement but I should have. I bought the key blank on Amazon.
