    I was quoted $157 USD to program my virgin oem 2015 Key fob.

    IS that the going price?

    For a dealer price, that sounds pretty good to me.

    I am looking for different alternatives to paying the dealer to program it for $157

    Try a local locksmith. 157 is a reasonable price IMO

    I want to support the local locksmiths rather than the local toyota steal-dealer

    Pick up a $30 techstream interface off of eBay / amazon and program it yourself, its very easy and you may find the diagnostic software handy down the line.
