Now that's going to be tough since OP has indicated steering wheel will no longer move.

Got me stumped.

holy hell, we figured out what was wrong and i still blame ace hardware.

what happened was the actual key was so worn down that when they copied it, they must of tweaked the actual toyota key just enough to not make it work. so toyota made a new key at the dealership and it worked like a charm. dealership didnt charge us anything for new keys since we just bought the car yesterday.

shoutout to all: get new keys every 100k miles haha
