Ls400 Remote (keyless Entry) - How Much To Replace

[Dallas96LS400]

Hi all,

I'm new to this board - just purchased a Jet Black 1996 LS400 at 138K for $10,000 - but the dealer lost the remote for the keyless entry. It's pretty high mileage but it was dealer serviced until 105,000 miles and the only problem it has is a minor leaking exhaust (Had it inspected at Park Place Lexus in Dallas)

How much is it to replace?

Looking forward to have fun in this board!

I bought one from eBay for $18. I programed it myself, and it works like charm:

96 should be the same programing procedure as 97.

Thanks Wandawoods... 18 bucks.... good deal!

Welcome to the club!!! :D 138k is hardly high mileage. I'm at 235k miles, and the damn thing just won't quit on me! B) Look foward to a trouble free and pleasurable ownership. Once you have a LS, you will never go back to any other car! The comfort, ride, build quality, quietness, unbeatable powertrain, and conservative, timeless styling are just a few of the things that make you love the car so much! B)

Greetings: Dallas, Wandawoods, et al.

Recently stopped in Jacksonville, Fl. Lexus dealer. Was told $265.00 for new keyless remote! "We have to program it".

Wandawoods post threw me for a loop! I want one too for $18.00! And thanks for the directions on programming!

Wuzzy, us guys with '95-97's have a plain key and a seperate remote--not the all in one configuration that you have. ;)

Hope you have good luck. I just bought a 2000LS with 70K. It has cost me about $4k to get in on the road. Yesterday it would not take gas. The fuel just sprayed back out of intake pipe. I dropped it at the dealer today. He called to say that it needed a new carbon cannister for $850.
