so i found this info on How-To program your extra "new" key.

"get in the car
shut the doors
press and release the brake and gas pedal once
insert your master key into the ignition switch
press and release the gas pedal 5 times
press and release the brake pedal 6 times
remove master key
insert new key
press and release the brake and gas pedal once
wait 80 seconds
remove new key
press brake "

has any one done this before?

You will be free from the tyranny of immobilizer servitude! Any key blank will do, you will be free I say, FREE! A new and happy future of excess horsepower and immobilizer freedom awaits you.

So, my wife lost a key and fob to my 2003. I finally picked up replacements from Ebay.

I figured I'd take the key to a "reputable" locksmith to cut it.

Key guy: I will not cut a "cheap" Ebay key. Besides, you need it programmed.

Me: I'll program it, I just want it cut.

Key guy: You can't program this key.

Me: Yes I can.

Him: You need to access the computer, you can't do that.

Me: Yes I can. Will you cut it or not.

Him: WHATEVER! I'll cut and program the one you buy from me.

Me: How much?

Him: $170.....

Me: :lol: :lol: :lol: As I walk out the door.

Walk into Lowe's. Ask if the guy will cut my key. He says sure. You know it needs programming, right? Yep, I'm all over it I tell him. He cuts my key. I ask how much? He says.... nothing, have a nice day.

I get home, program the key and fob with the directions in this thread and I am golden!

Thanks for the help... :)

I just read this today and I was having a hard time figuring out why I was able to start my MR2 this morning. Background story. I basically lost my OEM toyota mr2 spyder key this weekend but I actually had a corner Key/locksmith guy make me a spare key just to open my car in case I get my OEM key locked inside. So last night I was desperate because I couldnt find my original key so I said "i know my spare key wont work but at least let me unlock the steering wheel with it". I accidentally turned the engine on and VOILA my car's running. I was all weirded out but this thread made me realize that an all metal key will do just fine if I have a 2ZZ Celica ECU. :lol: Thanks for the info.
