Key

[TheBradyJones]

Hello,

I need someones help, I just bought a 2000 Lexus ES300 and I have reason to believe that it is a repo ,so there is one key without remote entry. I am looking to buy an uncut key and program it to use as keyless entry. Is this possible or do i have to take it to a dealer? Please help me

Thank you so much,

Brady

I've only watched while a Lexus dealer service writer programmed new keys and I do not understand whether or not an existing master key is needed to program a new master key. I wouldn't think an existing master key would be required since your valet key has the transponder chip that allows it to start the engine. Best I can do is to provide a link to instructions I found on the Innertubes: http://www.keymam.com/ru/news_view.asp?newsid=58

You might google for other instructions since the link I provided is obviously for Russia!

You might ask at your nearest Lexus dealer.

I had a situation recently where I needed to program a 2013 fob. I spoke with a locksmith who said he was able to cut and program earlier keys such as yours for about $25.00. However, I don't know if you need the master key or not.

My dealer had to program my 2013 fob, but the cost was only $38.00. As Jim said, you might be best to start with your local Lexus dealer to at least get your technical questions cleared up.

What if all I have is the valet key. Is there nothing I can do to program a real deal key with remote?

hello 1900JLS400 , your keys is looks long or short ?

I think long key is 46mm , short key is 41mm.

your key is sub key or a key with remote control.

I find a lot of replacement remote key shell on the web of keymam.
