key programming

[Aotoyota]

Anyone know how to program the transponder on the key? Dealer wants $95 for it.

Here's the instructions; and don't forget to get outside the car, walk in 3 circles under 20 seconds, then rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time 6 times.

Actually, I searched deeper and found this; apparently they changed the instructions for 2002+. Why the hell do they do that? Dumbasses at Toyota make the cars easy to drive but hard to service unless you REALLY know what you're doing (e.g. the common fear of changing your spark plugs).

NOTE: For 2004+ cars, you'll also have to tap the horn to the "Shave and a haircut 5 cents" tune upon completion the programming for each key, then when you're done, turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock 20 times in 10 seconds, then press the hazard switch 10 times within 2 seconds, then go old school and get outside your car and do the Macarena in 2 cycles within 4 seconds.
