Before I go into all the boring bits, and all I've researched and found I'll post the quick fix to this...it works 100% with 99/00 mk2 sw20 MR2 Revision 5 but should work with the Rev4 (and possibly Rev 3's)
A perquisite is that you have the black master key for this, if you've only got the grey key it's a no go. :(
Here is the key pair programming instructions:
I Got the 4C Key (TOY41 Blade) for $10.50 Delivered from the below seller (http://www.ecutool.com) on aliepxressTurning the ignition to on does NOT TURNING OVER ENGINE unless stated below.
NOTE: Contrary to what Toyota states, the security LED on the dash didn't come on and there was no notification that the pairing was successful, just the new key now starts the car
Starting Conditions:
-Vehicle Unlocked
-All doors closed
-No key in igntion lock
Insert a programmed black master key (Current Key) into the ignition lock
Carry out the following within 15 seconds:
Turn the igntion on/off four times
Turn the igntion back to on (fifth time)
Carry out the following within 20 seconds:
Open & close the drivers door six times
Carry out the following within 10 seconds:
Remove the key (working one) from the Igntion lock
Carry out the following within 10 seconds:
Insert the key to be programmed into the ignition lock (NEW KEY)
Turn the Ignition lock on and leave for at least 80 seconds.
Remove the key from ignition lock.
Open and close drivers door to complete the process (IMPORTANT)

The Locksmith -vs- Toyota -vs- The Clone
There is 2 keys available from Toyota Directly:
89785-17020 - TRANSPONDER KEY MASTER
89786-17020 - TRANSPONDER KEY SUB (Valet ???????)
Both are the same price but the sub im guessing doesnt open boot or has access to program further keys!

Toyotas Take on this:
...a reason why the door switch is crucial to this process
