I just purchased a Preowned Lexus RX300 -2000. The dealer only had 1 Key ( the one without the key less entry) for it. I tried to look in Ebay to see if I could buy a key with the Keyless entry and possibly a second copy in case I loose my current key. After searching to all the items a few questions came up that seemed never explained properly. I hope any of you guys could help me .
1. They are selling keyless entry keys that are already cut. If I buy it and program the keyless entry.... can I use that key to turn the engine on? or I can just use it to unlock doors?
2. They always mention the FCC ID of each keys, why do I need to know FCC ID to buy the key? and How would I know if that FCC ID is compatible with my car?
3. I saw someone selling an UNCUT Keyless entry Key and a master Key. The seller said I could just have someone cut the keys and he will provide programming information, but i need a Master key ( The one that opens the glove compartment ) . I tried to close my glove compartment with the key that I have and it won't even fit the key hole...... does it mean I have the "Valet Key"? the head of my key looks like the the master key ( the one withoutthe remote).
I would appreciate any help to clear all these issues for me.
