Worked for a 1999 Avalon as well

I made the mistake, for my wife's Sequoia, we just decided to go to Walmart and purchase a transponder key and almost $70 later they had cut and programed the key for us right there in the store. Toyota also has a different jingle that you do for the newer Toyotas but it is definitely easy & possible to do it yourself. I might buy me just a spare blank key for the Sequoia and do a tutorial on that! So much worth saving the money and doing it yourself. For this Camry transponder key, I spent $8 on the blank transponder key & then $2 to cut it. Talk about nearly a $60 savings!

@@100mgd That's amazing! However, most new cars use laser cut keys... So there's that now... I used to go to Ace hardware and have extra keys cut for my 2001 Camry without a transponder and the same fkr our 2007 Kia Sportage. In fact, I believe I had 5-6 keys for the Camry... LOL!

@@midnightmystery544 well even though they may be laser-cut like the newer Chevy keys and the Lexus key, you can take it to a dealer and usually have the dealer laser cut them anywhere between $20 to $60 & still program them yourself by doing a silly little jingle. Depending on the year make and model, it should be possible to find out how to program them and save yourself from having to spend anywhere from $100 to $300 have them program it for you in just 15 minutes if it doesn't use software and only uses a jingle.

@@midnightmystery544 no such thing as too many keys, I believe with my dad's Camry, I think I have almost 20 key to that damn car. Haha

@@100mgd Heck yeah! My current Kia has push button start. I needed another key last year. It was about $600 total... Yeah. It still hurts.

Just bought another 1999 Avalon that is only going to come with one key. Hopefully it works if I only get the original SLAVE key and not the MASTER.

Hi David i have got a Toyota Camry 2000 I am looking for the same key will any locksmith cut the key.i am in Brisbane Australia cheers Peter

@@Nyjawonder Thanks, works now. :)

The more you know!

@@100mgd thanks for sharing my dude

The pleasure was all mine, mate!

If I understand correctly you have the gray one which would be a valet key, as long as your original key that you have to copy with is plastic/rubber head you should be fine but if you only have a metal one, it will not work as metal only ones are non-transponder which means that you may not even have a transponder

Did it work?

Bought the key off of eBay and you can take it to any hardware store hardware stores. Had a few troubles with mine being cut at two home hardware stores with the manual key cutter so I ended up taking it to a Walmart first who refused to cut the key because it was not one of their keys and it was just a silly liability issue making them afraid that I would go after them if they cut the key and it did not work which I would not have retaliated against them. I then went to Home Depot where they were cool and not strict like Walmart and allowed me to give them my out of store blank key to put in their Hillman automatic key cutter. After Home Depot cut it with that machine, the key worked precisely! The best part yet would be if you can't go to any hardware store that will accept to cut your key if it was purchased out of store, take it to your local Toyota dealer because they have key cutters.

100mgd awesome thanks!

Dealer

I don't know, probably take it to the Toyota dealer with your title.

Won't work. You need an original working key.

I want to know the same thing

Metoo!

Yes. I Just did it and it worked

Any local Ace or True Value Hardware Store

Did you ever find a solution?
