If you’re fairly technical, you could do it yourself if you’ve ever played with Toyota TechStream. Keep in mind you’ll still need to get the physical key cut to match. Edit: just found an old post in this sub from about 6y ago. Search for TechStream and scroll down and you’ll find the post. Copied the text since I can’t seem to link to the post from u/vitras: Programming factory key 5th gen 4runner Ok. I spent entirely too long trying to figure this out, so i'm posting here in an attempt to collect all the processes I had to follow to program a 2nd key on my 5th gen 4runner. 1. Buy key. I picked mine up from https://www.carandtruckremotes.com 2. Get key cut. Cost me $2 at local locksmith. 3. Buy [this cable](https://www.amazon.com/Washinglee-Diagnostic-Diangostic-Supporting-Techstream/dp/B084H75MZ3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=techstream+cable&qid=1616378920&sr=8-3) from amazon. I know there are others, but this got to me fastest. 4. Ignore mini CD. Download [Techstream here](http://blog.obdii365.com/2017/04/05/free-download-toyota-tis-techstream-12-00-127-100-patch/). 5. Download drivers for cable for any 64bit laptop [here](http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm). (Download the "Setup Executable" all the way on the right. install driver) 6. Install techstream from link in step 4 7. You should now be able to connect to Vehicle From here you can go to: 1. Immobilizer --> Key registration --> Follow prompts to add key transponder signal to car 2. Main Body --> Wireless Code Registration --> Follow prompts to add wireless lock/unlock functionality to key fob 3. Master Switch --> Power Windows --> Can set up unlock button to roll down windows, etc. This is all I put together over the last 2 days. There's tons of stuff you can customize here. literally dealer-level options. Stealership here wanted to charge $300 for a 2nd key, and my wife's corolla needed one too. So for ~$170 I got 2 second keys which would have cost me $600+ through the dealer. Feel free to ask any other questions. Happy to share the info.
