I seem to have somehow lost the keyblade from my keyfob... meaning i have the fob, but the slideout key is gone!

What should I expect to shell out to cut a new replacement? I see blanks on amazon/ebay for $5 so I guess another $20 to get it cut?

Laser cut keys are $150-$250 each, not something you want to lose or have to duplicate.

Assuming you have the other one, order one of these from Ebay and find a good locksmith shop to copy it:

Insert Blank Blade For Toyota Avalon Camry RAV4 Sequoia Prius Smart Entry Key | eBay

Remote Keyless Emergency Key Smart Key Uncut For TOYOTA Camry Venza Prius | eBay

Uncut Smart Insert Emergency Blank Key Blade Replacement For Toyota Remote Card

If you have lost your one and only key, you will need to go to the dealer with your VIN and hope they can help.
