Remote Key Access

[ghallam]

Hey guys,

the remote access on the key to my '91 LS does not operate. Is there a good source to repair or replace these keys? It has a new battery, and everything else looks functional. Any good source to buy new keys ?

thanks.

Well, lets start of by this:

Is the Remote on button turned to 'on'?

It is above the lever of the trunk opener and gas tank cover.

Ok. Since it is a Gen. 1 LS you cannot buy another key of ebay or anywhere else and program it to work, they cannot be programmed.

You have to buy a whole new ECU [computer] with new keys. You can go to your local Lexus dealer and they can put a new one in. One key: $150 Two Keys: $300-350. And, you can't add more keys later on; since, I mentioned they are not programable.

For, that much money. You can buy a very nice aftermarket security system or remote system.

So, I think I speak for all of us when I say, don't waste your money buying the Lexus remote keys. Unless, you just want to.

93LS, I wish I would have read this before bidding on This uncut remote key with programming instructions on Ebay. :o

Are you sure there's no way to program these? If not, I'm going to retract my bid, if possible.

I'm realy sorry for the late response. If you get the key cut by a lock smith or a dealer that will work.

But, not the remote part.
