ALSO, if it was coded to my vin, why didn’t the car start when the Toyota tech attempted to program the key? The car started right away with my old bdc.There's rules against "threadcrapping" but I'm making an unauthorized exception..
This BDC is YOURS forever dude. It's been factory coded to your VIN, and you already admitted to installing and trying to use it in the "Lost Keys" thread. Whether it "worked" for you or not, it certainly won't for anyone else. Accept your losses and move on.
Sucks I know, but it's the truth.
