transponder key on 2004 Corolla CE

[cal1ga]

Just got a "Certified" 2004 Corolla CE recently.

The dealer only gave me one "black key". When I ask if I can get another one, the dealer said no. Because the they only got one with the car.

ask them whether I can get a copy from them (for free), they said no, I would have to pay for one. The key (for this model) doesn't have transponder key, you can get a key made from a locksmith, the dealer said.

Call toyota to get the correct story. They said I should have gotten two keys, one master and one valet. Also, Toyota said this model comes with transponder key. Is that true?

a day later, got a call from the Dealer's "Customer satisfaction Dept". she said just tell me when I can come * she'll instruct the service department to duplicate a key for me for FREE.

So, which key do I get? a regular key or a key with transponder? The key I got from dealer is black, not sure if it has a chip or not. Dealer said it doesn't have a transponder, Toyota said it does? Who should I believe?
