If you can please help me out :(
djspawn00 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 no keys at all is a pricey issue... your best bet it to have the car taken to a dealer where they'll most likely have to reflash the ECU... some locksmiths are equipped to do this... but not all...

I learned something new and now have a question. At that link it says you can activate your ignition immobilizer. I didn't know we had one of those. Now the question. Can you explain what and how to use the immobilizer?? I used to have a BMW 325 vert, and the alarm would trigger that ignition immobilizer, and it was a major inconvenience to undo it. I would hate to find this out on the Lexus by accident, which is why I would like to know about it. Thanks

blaise Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Well I just purchased a 1999 lexus gs300 from a local public action the ploblem is that it dont came with the keys does any one on here have a hook up on any local lexus dealership or know's where can buy one for cheap ?If you can please help me out :( Since you don't have any key, you need your ecm reflashed due to your transponder key. The key is married to the ecm and after you loose the master, you will need a locksmith who is able to reflash the ecm and program your new key to it. Once you get the key and ecm to match, then you can follow instructions on how to program keys into car. If you don't have a locksmith who can handle this you will have to take out your ecm and ship it to someone who can.
