Will this key work with my 1993 LS400.

1. Is it possible to take my metal part out of the old one and stick it in to this one?

2. Does this key have to capablity to hold a chip. If so, can I take my chip out of the old key and put it in to this one.

So, you are telling me that this key has the chip in it.

And I just need to buy it and when it come, reprogram it???

Not telling you anything other than the site may be of interest to you--it is about keys !!!!!

Well, it doesn't really cost that much, so you could try buy it and see if it works.

As for the metal key, you could take a spare key to see if it comes off. I have my doubts, but doesn't hurt.

all right,

Thanks

Flow Lexus,Kernersville---go only if you HAVE to; parts at irontoad.com or at a Toyota dealer.

Haven't had to take mine anywhere for service yet-so I don't know where to tell you.

My '99 came with a big key with three buttons built into the plastic part of the key ... I don't like it at all!! I'd like to have a traditional three-button key fob. I see them on eBay all the time but was told by the parts guy at the dealership that you can only use the same style of remote that the car came with. Is this true?

Thanks

'93lsowner if you purchase the key let us know how it works out. I took my '92 LS400 transponder key apart to install a new battery. I would like to swap the black plastic part that is very worn. Four Door.

[93LSOwner]

Four door thats what my ONLY objective is too, to get a new black plastic part for the key. I'll let you know how it works out. I wanted to get it from a dealer though, not this website.

[93LSOwner]

I have two master keys for my 1993 LS400.

They are transponder keys and the top black plastic pieces is broken so they cannot be place into a key chain.

What do you suggest it do? Buy a a whole new computer or transpoder?

or What?

I'm new to these kind of keys and nobody that I know has them.

Thank you. Any suggestion will help.

neighbor-here is some more chatter

[93LSOwner]

Thank you for those links. They were very helpfull.

I just bought my car and the owner gave me to chip keys like these.

Chip keys

But the bad thing about them is the black plastic holders are bad.

I'm thinking that I should look around in the junk yard or something or those chip keys are stick my metal part in them. As well as the chip. "Don't Know How That Is Going To Work."

So, I have to buy new keys for $331. If I want that remote technology. AND if I just want a duplicate that is going to cost me $34.

THAT IS B.S.

When I first purchase this car I was happy as a clown. But as days go by.........that would be 8 days.....something new comes up. I'm scared and hoping that, that day don't come in my life, where I have to regret that I bought this car.

[tansupplyman]

hope you don't regret it--these are just minor items bugging you.

on the remote---don't go spending big money on this--these are NOT like aftermarket units[or at least mine isn't]---you have to big within about 4 ft of the car to open it.

The owners manual says 3 feet !!!!!!

so--without the button is NO big deal, you are almost at the keyhole anyway--doesn't open the trunk anyway.

I hope later model LS's can open from at least 50 ft away like Chevys and Fords.

How can this help someone?

93LSowner,

There has been previous posts regarding this outdated keyless entry system on the '93 LS.

I have a '93 with only 1 remote and I am considering the following options:

1. Buy OEM from http://www.lexustoyotamitsubishiparts.com. Their Two Key Chip and Key Set is cheaper than lexus-parts.com.

2. Buy an after market keyless entry system like this one.

Stay away from '90-'94 LS keys from ebay. These keys only work if you have the matching ROM chip that goes in the trunk. Sorry, they are not programmable.

This is a great car. I hope these little things do not keep you from enjoying it.

Regards,

Michael
