I just purchased a 2001 Lexus RX300 from a Fords Dealer. They only had 1 key which turns out to be the valet key. (cranks car and opens door)
I went to my nearest Lexus dealer in Memphis, TN to have them make me another key. They told me that without 1 of the master keys they can not make me a key that will crank the car, it will only open the doors.
I am not used to having cars with this type of key, I can't believe Lexus would have such a solution where if a customer looses both master keys then they can not make another key from the valet key.
They are telling me I have to buy another computer for $2000 and 2 new keys for $200 a piece.
Can anybody tell me if this is correct, it just doesn't seem right to me, I think they just want me to buy another computer.
