So I am trying to do the same. I have a 99 LS 400 with a single master key. The remote has been dead for the last couple of years - tried replacing the battery and that didnt work either so the remote has gone bad. Recently the plastic casing broke as well so I need to buy new keys. I can buy the keys online (ebay) for about $80. But then how do I get them cut? Also will I be able to program the remote without the original remote in working condition? @David - What set of instructions did you use? My key FCC Code is HYQ1512V. Thanks,

The last of my keys just broke today. The plastic head broke at the point where the metal key is connected. For now I have "crazy-glued" it and it works but I need to get replacement keys made. The key that I have is the remote head key - the remote stopped working a couple of years ago (no its not the battery). So, I am looking at options here... Based on what I am seeing online I can get a remote shell key and remote for about $110 (vs. about $80 on eBay). But then I need to get it cut, the chip programmed, and the remote programmed. Based on what I am reading online I can get the programming for the chip and the remote done easily, even though my current remote isn't working. Is that true? Also, where can I get it cut in the DC metro area? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also - if i need to provide more information please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks,
