Default ,lost the only key fob to my 2012 Lexus es350

I bought the car used from Sewell and there was no spare. It was a square fob and when I had the fob I went to a locksmith and he said there is no way to program a fob for that year and the square type fob. Am I going to have to get a new system to start my car?

Go to a lexus dealership not a locksmith. The dealership can reseed the system even with no original key present, 2hrs of labor and the cost of the fob

Unfortunately Jay is right. I have't heard of anyone being able to do this outside the dealership. It sucks because they are going to charge you an arm and a leg.

I called a locksmith and they seem to think they can make me a new fob. I will keep you posted.
