2ndlife Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The keyblade of the master key was damaged by a mower but the keyless remote control part works fine. Lexus dealer will charge me $400 for a new key... Damn... After searhing Google for a night, I finally know how the pricy Lexus key works... Just several questions here... Please help.... 1). Is the transponder built together with the keyless remote control part? 2). If so, could I make a new key by purchasing a key shell from ebay, getting its keybalde cut, and just putting the original remote control part(transponder) in the shell? I appreciate your replies..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Glad you found it by searching. The other thing i would do is buy a blank with a shell from eBay with a new blade attached as i am sure you blade has detached from the plastic shell as well as being mulched. Soffor about $50 you will be all fixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most economical way I could find... about $35 bucks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
