I've had an independant locksmith cut a Lexus key for me. He raped me on the price to cut it ($40), but the key worked well.

for 97 or newer LS4, be aware that the key requires embeded transponder to turn on ignition.....

40 bucks wow! I got a key cut from BMW for like 30 something and that was the sweet switchblade that I never use. Its kinda cool but real impractical.

thanks

I just replaced a broken key for my '98. I got the blank from e-bay - $25, and had it cut local $5. I did not have to replace the transponder, that's going to be the expnesive part. Dealer gets$45 for that. The guy that cut mine would have charged $15 to cut AND program the thing. If yours did not come with instructions, search this forum for transponder and look for posting from bluethunder. Jeff

You have to contact a locksmith not a hardware store as Lexus keys are inverted for the tumblers
