tcisine Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Perhaps someone can help me. I tried searching past threads and have become more confused than I already was. I just purchased a 98 ES 300 and it came with 2 keys but no key fobs for the keyless entry/security/trunk. I was going to purchase a fob and program it from eBay, but they say you have to have the master key. What is this master? I have 2 black keys with the Lexus logo in gold on the key. Are these a Master? I was told the fobs were with the car when it was traded in, but the dealer reprogrammed them to another car and will not give me any replacement. :( Can someone explain it to the newbie? Thanks!

JokeDog Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 insert your key into the ignition, but don't turn it and when the "security light" (on the dashboard) stops blinking immediately, that is your master key. Don't get your master key confused with your valet key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnLex13 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 My master key is black and my valet key is a charcoal grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcisine Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 It looks like I may be ok. Both keys are black and both turned of the security light immediately without turning the key. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
