Update to why my key wouldnt crank like BlackCamSE's...it seems the locksmith cut my flip key too much. Comparing the OEM master key and the key the locksmith cut it, it was too close to the groove. But thats what the Toyota dealership told me. I dont know why it works in the doors but not the ignition. I went to parts and they told me to go to service. Went to service and they said they'll do it for $98. Give them my cut flip key and waited 1.5 hours. As I go to service to find out how much longer, the tech/mechanic and service guy was talking and thats when they told me about the key problem. The tech guy was able to program the buttons but the key he couldnt get to recognize in his computer. Luckily, they didnt charge me the $98.
I contacted the seller and he's sending me a blank key for only $6 (great customer service). I didnt want to spend another $72 just for a blank key. Found out my sisters bf who works for Honda knows someone at Toyota who can do it for me for free. So hopefully I can get this done finally.
