Apparently programming one is easy, but finding the blank is hard. I dont even want to consider Toyota dealerships because I know it will be atleast $1000. I have found some locksmiths that have them for $800. I have checked ebay but not much luck.
Does anyone know somewhere (Prefereably US or UK) that sells the smart key blanks for a but more reasonable price ? If it helps I have that metal stamped keycode that came attached with the key (I think it helps the dealer reprogram them).
I will upload a picture of the key.

Only the Asian market gets them, so one of the Japanese auction sites is probably your best bet. I have one that was imported from Japan along with some other parts for experimentation. It is just sitting on my bench, so if you are interested, shoot me an offer for it.
