RyanOfSoCal Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi, I lost my 2006 GX 470 key over the weekend and the local dealer said it will cost $290 for the key/remote and another $53 to program/cut. Does anyone know a better way? I still have one key and the key PIN. Thank you, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Ryan go to www.lexus-parts.com and buy them.Sewell lexus parts 1 888 909 6633 I paid 180 (they cut them too) and the dealer charged me 38 for programming them..so I paid a total of 218. and today they have 15% off..

The G Man Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Or you can try ebay, its a lot cheaper there. You will need to find a specialty shop to cut the key for you for maybe $20. If you have 1 key, there is a way to program yourself. I dont have the procedure, or you can get the dealer to program it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus53 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Try looking on E-Bay.They will tell you what years and models can be programmed by you and will give you the instructions to program the key,but you need an original key to program.You will have to check the locksmiths in your area and find one that can cut your key.the programming instructions are very simple.

schan1w Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Why pay good money to have it programmed. Just use these simple instructions and buy your keys from lexus-parts.com: http://www.lexus-parts.com/import/pdf/1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I ordered a key online and I had the option to have it cut per the VIN number at no extra charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOfSoCal Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thank you everyone. None of the locksmiths around my area can cut Lexus key and none of the dealers around my area will cut a key not sold by them because they said after market keys are made with softer metal than Lexus key so they don't recommend therefore won't do it. I will contact lexus-parts.com Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chexation Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I lost my 2006 GX 470 key over the weekend and the local dealer said it will cost $290 for the key/remote and another $53 to program/cut. Does anyone know a better way? I still have one key and the key PIN. I bought a master key for my 2004 GX470 from SpareCarKeys.com: http://www.sparecarkeys.com Their phone number is: 866-350-4199 The cost for the master key: $120 + $6 shipping There is a possibility that you may need to have Lexus program it. My dealer charged $25. They will send you directions to do it yourself. But, it didn't work for me. The key is as good as a new one from Lexus except it doesn't have the gold plating "L" on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOfSoCal Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 I ordered my key from lexus-parts.com 2/21 and I'm still waiting for it. As for the steps I will upload the image of the steps I have...hopefully they save you $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOfSoCal Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 I uploaded the pdf 1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanOfSoCal Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 The key came in yesterday. I was able to lock/unlock the door with it but I didn't have time to try the programming steps. I'll try today and update. The total was $160 with shipping and cutting. Plus it has the gold L on the back. BTW - I just realize the 1.pdf file I uploaded was provided by schan1w earlier on this thread...I searched around so much regarding this issue that forgot where I got the info.

RyanOfSoCal Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Unfortunately the steps did not work for my 2006 GX 470. Does anyone have the correct steps? Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeEnjoyer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I know this is an old thread, but I need a key replacement as well. I only have the spare and do not have the original key with remote. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
