only place you could actually go to make them since the key has a sensor in it to read against the ignition. its not like the old school cars where you could go to home depot and make them

They don't call the dealership, the stealership for nothing. Call & get a quote & you'll see.

you need the sensor in the key so stealerships have to set it up thats why it cost so much.

If you just want to replace your existing one you can get the whole thing done for like $20.

Just buy a camry key fob shell off ebay, put in your old guts and chip, then bring it to Lowes and they'll cut it.
