Remote Key Complexity & Nuance - Help!

Recommended Posts

Had only the remote key when car was purchased; key works manually, but button does not unlock/lock doors. Replaced battery (CR1216); key has FCC ID of "NYQWDT" with small "rB" after, although not 100% clear on this marking. Key says "LOCK/UNLOCK DOOR" on other side, however. I got directions on programing the remote key on this forum, and I got a "Master Key" cut for car's VIN from Sewell Lexus. Followed programming directions and am able to get confirmation beep and lock actuation from car; however, I continue to get nothing from my remote key. So, I wonder, is remote key bad? Or, am I inadvertently "de-programing" it as I go through the sequence? [i note that there are three (3) keys mentioned in the programing directions I'm using: "original key" which is what I got with the car, "master key" which I ordered from Sewell, and the "new key" which I am now thinking is a new remote key, which I don't have (yet).]

So, what do I have here - is it just not possible to re-program my old remote key? Is this key bad? Should I go ahead and buy a new remote key? Thanks, key wizards!!
