    Anyone use thinkdiag scanner to program car key. How do I go about it? No key available for the car as we speak, new keys will need to be bought.

    Toyota Techstream on an old windows machine via a mini-VCI dongle will allow you to wipe and reseed electronic keys. Catch is it's a secure feature that only electronic locksmith's and dealerships can afford the monthly fee for. Alternatively there's a service in the EU that for ~$40 will do some math with your VIN# and give you the code to access the wipe and reseed function. If you google it you'll find plenty of threads on here about it.

    devices other than Toyota TechStream + Mini VCI cable can also do the job

    you need to check whether your ThinkCar / ThinkDiag device has the feature to begin with
    the option is probably named "all keys lost"

    There are YT videos on how to perform the procedure
