do a search, one of the threads have a zip file that shows both immoblizer and fob instructions. They worked great for me.

We'll add it to the FAQ we're building, but won't make a sticky out of this. We'd have WAY too many stickies if we put one up for every small recurring question

Can anyone CUT the teeth on a 1998 gs400 key? The dealer told me Lexus has to manufacture it.

Hi Tami, I saw your post on all of the key info and I need some help. I have found a complete key where I live for $15 and need to find out if it will work. It is out of a 2004 SC430 and I have a 98 GS300. Thank you for your help.

just a warning. I called Cars Locksmith and they wanted $250 to cut my Lexus RX replacement key, which I bought from eBay. This is a total rip-off, since my dealer only wanted $115, which I thought was a rip off already since the blank on ebay only cost $8. FYI, I'm in the Los Angeles area.
