36R

Recommended Posts

I just got a 96 ES300, but it only came with one key and no remote.

Where I can make keys most economically ? If anyone has a 96 ES300 remote,

can you tell me the if the FCC ID is HYQ1512P ? as my manual says it should be

HYQ1512A, I tried to get one on ebay.

Thanks a bunch.

:( Alex

Based on my experience, you may have to go whole hog and buy a new receiver and new remotes. Figure about $100.00 for each key/remote and $565 (parts and labor) for the under dash receiver.

As for new keys, the Lexus dealer may be the only show in town. They will have to special order them.

I do find that the special order and the new receiver to be quite a hassle with Lexus. When I needed to replace a key and fob for my VW Passat, the dealer was able to grind a new key in front of me and service was able to re-program the new fobs for $40.00 total labor. The fob and key was $45.00.

you need a new frequency chip which is only sold with a pair of matching keys. about $500 total for labour and parts Althought it is only one cover to remove and replace in the brain located in the left side of the trunk.
