After having paid a million dollars for a key with a gold Toyota logo on it, I decided to not do that again. I've been looking at what was needed to get a spare and working key for the FJ.
I bought one of these programmers:

I also bought a key:

As I'm reading how to accomplish the programming, I noticed that my keys (yes, I have the PO's key but the remote unlock/lock part was broken off) both are L series keys and what I bought was a G series key. I don't know if they are compatible so I decided I'll just pull the metal part out of the new blank key and insert the PO key. Wouldn't you know it, the &*^*&#$)@(*#&!!!!!! key is molded into the (*&)(*&#@@@*#**[email protected]#$*& fob body. Fek.
I poked around some more and have ordered this:

This looks like it will work now that I've got the original key de-fobbed. Hopefully it will work and then all I have to do is program the fob to the FJ. Wouldn't that be lovely?
