Smart Key Issues

[tomknud]

My car is apparently having troubles getting a new smart key programmed to it. I find the cost and rigamarole to get a key working on it outrageous and am recommending a class action lawsuit that Lexus must provide means of getting new keys programmed at reasonable effort to the OWNER of the vehicle. Anyone having such troubles please chime in.

Also, anyone with knowledge of the smart system please offer diagrams etc that might help solve problems in this vein. It will be grealy appreciated.

So I am having the same issues......ultimately i replaced the door control module located in the trunk on the right side as well as the smart key receptor module located in the trunk on the right side as well they both are located in the bottom right area the door control module looks almost like a audio amp and the smart key receptor is a red box located below where your tail lights would be located the box says ABS on it and will fool you with not having this knowledge you will overlook it. Replacing the receptor should enable key transmitting however i believe lexus has this smart key thing in a bag where ultimately you are going to have to go to dealer to have modules reset and programmed to allow additional keys to be programmed. And the going rate is $180 a hour in my state! Let me know if you ever fixed your issue and what was the end result.
