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,

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,
