Yes any Lexus key will fit BUT you can't buy these keys from any local locksmith in town. You also need the dealer to program it for the immobilizer. ;)

If you buy the key from sewell or on E-bay, most of the time, they come with programming instructions for the immobilizer and the door locks, but you will have to find a locksmith that can cut that key.

are the programming instructions something u do yourself and does the key from ebay still have the remote on it for the doors

I have never done it, but from what I have read on this forum is that the key from e-bay comes in blank with the remote buttons for the doors. You have to cut it yourself. The programming instruction will program the immobilizer and the door buttons. From what I understand, you can do it yourself. It is a series of putting the old key in and push some buttons and inserting the new key.

Sorry I cant be more helpful, good luck.

Good info, thanks dcfish. But I dont see the GX470 on the list, I wonder if its the same as the LS.

I think Sewell (lexus-parts.com) can send you keys already cut from the VIN...

I bought a new key from Ebay for my lexus and paid $45 to get it cut by a locksmith and another $45 to get it programmed....I didn't bother trying to program it myself....it was just easier, but it took him all of 5 min to program it :(

next time I will program it myself and not be lazy :)

So go to ebay and buy a NEW Key and transponder for about $60 and pay another $45 to get it cut and program it yourself :)
