Because Toyota flip keys are only developed for new car models, they are usually equipped with a Toyota programmed transponder chip.

Toyota Key Cutting:
Toyota Key cutting (the metalworking term for "shaping by removing material") is the primary method of Toyota key duplication: for example, a flat key is fitted into a vise in a machine, with a Toyota blank attached to a parallel vise, and the original Toyota key is moved along a guide, while the Toyota key blank is moved against a key cutting wheel, which cuts it. After cutting, the new Toyota key is deburred: scrubbed with a metal brush to remove burrs which, were they not removed, would be dangerously sharp and, further, foul locks.

Programming Toyota Keys:
Programming a Toyota key is the process of preparing an electronic ( Toyota smart key, Toyota transponder key etc.) to an individual Toyota vehicle before it can be used to start the Toyota car's ignition. Only the Toyota transponder key will activate your Toyota car or truck, and the Toyota key can only be programmed from the car itself. You can program a Toyota key in about 30 minutes.

Mobile Toyota key programming, duplicating for lost or stolen Toyota keys is also available.
Programming Toyota Remotes:
Programming of Toyota remotes has two categories: Toyota on-board programming and Toyota diagnostic tool programming. Toyota On-board programming is where the remote programming procedure is built into the operating system of the vehicle. The Toyota remote is programmed by executing a series of operations using various electronic components that are incorporated into the vehicle. These operations can also include jumping connections in the Toyota OBD port, removing and replacing Toyota fuses, opening and closing Toyota doors etc.
Diagnostic tool programming of Toyota remotes is pretty simple. After hooking up the tool, you select the Toyota vehicle and system type from a menu and follow the instructions. Somewhere along the line you will be asked to press some buttons on the Toyota remote and the vehicle will usually respond by cycling the power door locks to acknowledge that the Toyota programming step has been completed. The real fun starts when things don’t happen as they should. you are bound to run into some that just won’t cooperate. If you are dealing with a new Toyota remote, about the only thing that can go wrong with the Toyota remote itself is a dead battery. If you are dealing with a refurbished Toyota remote or heaven forbid, a Toyota remote supplied by the customer, virtually anything could go wrong with the Toyota remote. If the probelm isn't the battery chances are the vehicle in question simply requires a different Toyota remote.

Toyota (from wikipedia) Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda and incorporated on August 28, 1937. In 2017, Toyota's corporate structure consisted of 364,445 employees worldwide and, as of December 2019, was the tenth-largest company in the world by revenue.
Toyota is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, based on sales which include its subsidiaries. Toyota was the world's first automobile manufacturer to produce more than 10 million vehicles per year, which it has done since 2012, when it also reported the production of its 200 millionth vehicle. As of July 2014, Toyota was the largest listed company in Japan by market capitalization
Toyota is a global market leader in sales of hybrid electric vehicles, and one of the largest companies to encourage the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles across the globe. Toyota is also a market leader in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Cumulative global sales of Toyota and Lexus hybrid passenger car models achieved the 15 million milestone in January 2020. Its Prius family is the world's top-selling hybrid nameplate with over 6 million units sold worldwide as of January 2017.
The company was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937, as a spinoff from his father's company Toyota Industries, to manufacture automobiles. Three years earlier, in 1934, while still a department of Toyota Industries, it developed its first product, the Type A engine, and its first passenger car in 1936, the Toyota AA. Toyota Motor Corporation produces vehicles under five brands, including the Toyota brand, Hino, Lexus, Ranz, and Daihatsu. It also holds a 20.02% stake in Subaru Corporation, a 5.1% stake in Mazda, a 4.9% stake in Suzuki, a 4.6% stake in Isuzu, a 3.8% stake in Yamaha Motor Corporation, and a 2.8% stake in Panasonic, as well as joint-ventures with two in China (GAC Toyota and Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor), one in India (Toyota Kirloskar), one in the Czech Republic (TPCA), one in the United States (MTMUS), along with several "nonautomotive" companies. TMC is part of the Toyota Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world.
In 2011, Toyota, along with large parts of the Japanese automotive industry, suffered from a series of natural disasters. The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami led to a severe disruption of the supplier base and a drop in production and exports. Severe flooding during the 2011 monsoon season in Thailand affected Japanese automakers that had chosen Thailand as a production base. Toyota is estimated to have lost production of 150,000 units to the tsunami and production of 240,000 units to the floods.
On February 10, 2014, it was announced that Toyota would cease manufacturing vehicles and engines in Australia by the end of 2017. The decision was based on the unfavourable Australian dollar making exports not viable, the high cost of local manufacture and the high amount of competition in a relatively small local market. The company plans to consolidate its corporate functions in Melbourne by the end of 2017. The head office will remain in Port Melbourne and the Altona plant will be retained for other functions. The workforce is expected to be reduced from 3,900 to 1,300. Both Ford Motor Company and General Motors (Holden) followed suit, ending Australian production in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
The automaker narrowly topped global sales for the first half of 2014, selling 5.1 million vehicles in the six months ending June 30, 2014, an increase of 3.8% on the same period the previous year. Volkswagen AG, which recorded sales of 5.07 million vehicles, was close behind.
In August 2014, Toyota announced it would be cutting its spare-parts prices in China by up to 35%. The company admitted the move was in response to a probe foreshadowed earlier in the month by China's National Development and Reform Commission of Toyota's Lexus spare-parts policies, as part of an industry-wide investigation into what the Chinese regulator considers exorbitantly high prices being charged by automakers for spare parts and after-sales servicing.
In November 2015, the company announced that it would invest US$1 billion over the next 5 years into artificial intelligence and robotics research. In 2016, Toyota invested in Uber. In 2020, a corporate governance report showed that Toyota owns 10.25 million shares of Uber, which was valued at $292.46 million as of March 30, 2020. According to Reuters, this was roughly 0.6 per cent of Uber's outstanding shares.
In March 2016, Toyota partnered with Yanmar to create a fiberglass pleasure boat using Yanmar outboard marine diesel engines or Toyota inboard engines.
On August 27, 2018, Toyota announced an investment of US$500 million in Uber's autonomous cars.
In March 2021, Toyota, its subsidiary Hino, and Isuzu announced the creation of a strategic partnership between the three companies. Toyota acquired a 4.6% stake in Isuzu while the latter plans to acquire Toyota shares for an equivalent value. The three companies said they would form a new joint venture by April called Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation with the aim of developing fuel cell and electric light trucks. Toyota would own an 80% stake in the venture while Hino and Isuzu would own 10% each.
In April 2021, Toyota said that it will buy Lyft's self-driving technology unit for $550 million and merge it with its newly created Woven Planet automation division.
In June 2021, the company defended its donations to United States Republican lawmakers after they voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election, saying it did not believe it was "appropriate to judge members of Congress" for that one vote. A report by Axios found that Toyota was the top donor to 2020 election objectors, by a substantial margin. The company then reversed course in July 2021 and ceased donations to election objectors, releasing a statement saying it understood that its PAC's donations to those objectors, which far outpaced those of any other company, "troubled some stakeholders."
