Remote Entry Master Key

[ayan]

I just lost my only remote-enabled master key to my 1990 LS400. Dealerships want $245 for a replacement, in addition to $140 for labor to reprogram / install the new chip.

$400.00 !!!!......for a $10 key with Radio Shack technology??!!! It's a shameful money-grab.

OK, so do I have any less expensive viable alternatives if I want to maintain the ability for remote entry?

I'd appreciate some constructive feedback. Thanks.

Crimestopper is a pretty good system. I have that on my lexus and installation can range from easy to difficult depending on your knowledge about the car's electrical system. Programming it however is pretty easy.

Just get an aftermarket alarm and you will also be able to start your car and open your trunk as well . The best part would be you will no longer have to be 5 feet from the door to open it.

Some brand/model recommendations would be nice.

There are so many on Crimestopper site. Which one is easy and compatible to LS400?

Thanks,

You can contact them and ask them. I forget which one I have, but one of the Gargoyle lines.
