Lost Keys... All Of Them


byohzrd

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine has managed to lose the keys to her 2001 IS300. She bought the car used, and it came with only one key. Now she's got no keys, period. Her car is sitting in a parking lot somewhere, and she's beside herself.

So, I know I've heard a few people say that this is the worst case scenario, and she's probably completely out of luck. Is this true? Will she need to have the computer in her car replaced? She can buy a key using her VIN, but that will only allow her to unlock the doors. Is there a way to program this key without an original master?

What are her options, and what are the estimated costs. I know I'm going to have to break some sort of bad news, so any help or insight you can give me would be much appreciated.

PS... I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I attempted a search with no results.
