If it weren't an aftermarket dealer option on my car (power windows/locks, that was crap), they would have made $0 on my car. lol. Actually, I don't think they get any money from the third party, do they?

Yeah, they would have marked it up from their cost, but it doesn't sound like it stands out to you as a large amount....so they probably didn't make that much. However, you didn't mention anything re a holdback, so Toyota may have paid the dealer an incentive that would be invisible to you. The dealer might make money from that, but it would come out of Toyota USA's pocket, not yours.
