In any case, I think you've "hit-the-nail-on-the-head" as to why the dealers I called said they couldn't do it. JUST PLAIN LAZY... not to mention... MONEY HUNGRY! That's why we're in the "Transponder Key biz"!

Have to admit though... you're one of the VERY few! My hat's off too you!

Dave

P.S. By the way, send me a PM with your info and a little background (i.e. the dealeship you work for, your bkgrd. in these types of keys, etc.) and I'll pass that info along to the Transponder Dept. people.
Yes we FLASH(seed) the (04 runner) in house.Then program keys.
It has been a pleasure discussing this topic with you.
This sight (T.S.) is a very good place that we can all learn from each other.
There are alot of very mature & well informed people here, I consider you 1 of them.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Victor
