I bought a blank replacement key for my 2005 Toyota Corolla and will have a locksmith cut it to match the existing master key. How to I program the car to recognize the new key for starting the ignition?

From what I understand this key is not programmable without the Toyota scan tools so you may have to take it to the dealer.

TYPE 3

TOYOTA 4Runner 2003 2004 2005 Avalon 2005 Camry 2004 2005 2006 2007 Corolla 2005 Highlander 2004 2005 Land Cruiser 2003 2004 2005 Prius 2004 Sienna 2004 Solara 2004 Tacoma 2005

You can not program in this key yourself. You need to take your car and your key to either the dealer or to a local locksmith that has the Toyota key programming software.
