Micah,

can you please post the instructions for '94 and earlier models? My wife's '94 SC300 keyless lock/unlock remote is not working. I replaced the batteries in 2 keys to no avail... I am guessing they "lost" their programming and need to be reset.

She has the keys with the small button on the front, next to the blade of the key. The batteries are in the handle of the key inside the Lexus symbol.

TIA!

Todd

EDIT: I also sent Micah a PM as I noticed how old this thread is.

Thanks Todd,

I purchased two brand new keyless entry keys via telephone from the nearby Lexus dealer and at the time I was told that no programming would be necessary. When I dropped by to pick up the keys, voila! :o I was told that there would be an additional labor charge to install the new chip!!! If it's a simple matter of replacing the chip I'd like to tell them to go jump in a lake!

HELP!?!?!?

When you buy a key for the older (93) lexus cars. You get one key and a ROM (read oy memory) chip. To replace the key you remove the old ROM chip and install the new one that comes with the key. No programing.

How does one replace the ROM chip? Where is it located?
