Lost my chip key

I have a 16 TRD OR with the keyless entry and start, I lost one of my keys and am wondering if anyone else has and what they did about it? At the time that I lost it I didn't have the other one with me and called the closest dealer. They said I needed to get the truck there ($$ for tow) and it would be 480 for a new key. So F*ck a bunch of that, but I would like to have a second key. I wasn't sure if there are aftermarket keys or another key that could be keyed to work with the truck. Also what would Toyota charge me for the rekeying the new key.
Any info or help would be great.
Thanks
Joe

I keep my fob on a lanyard mainly because I don't want it my pocket where I can accidentally lean on the buttons. If you still think you might lose the fob, check out the Trackr.

I got my chip key made for my 2nd gen at ace hardware for 70 bux. I didn’t even know they did them until then.

 

I programmed the Lexus key pretty easily with techstream.

You would just need to buy a NEW key fob(used keys are a pain) , techstream and cable (Amazon or ebay), and a possibly the emergency key if it does not come with the new key fob.

 

Perfect time to upgrade to the Lexus card key!

 

PM me your VIN, I'll get you some pricing.

 

Second (or third) for the Lexus key card. Lives in my wallet, love it.

I would also PM @gunny1005 for a price on a new key. He is who I get all of my oem stuff from.
