Lexus Key Off Ebay???
I only got 1 master key left....and after the break in in my car i've opted 2 get an upgrated alarm system!
problem is that i only got 1 key! 2-way pager alarm requires 2 master keys, or atleast a valet, which i lost!!!!!!
Found seller off ebay that for 99$ +$10 more to cut the key, will make it for me..
Here is the problem: they require your ownership/insurance card + vin...
After the key is obtained, your master key re-programs the key they provide!
I'm scarred that maybe since they have my vin/ownership, they will come and rob my car!! Since they can easy make a copy again.
is this possible? i've already been robbed once, i don't wanna get robbed again, U feel me?
What should i do? go through these guys? or pay a lot more and go through lexus????

I believe that's the ebay ID for Sewell Lexus / Lexus-parts.com . If so, then you should be fine... they're one of our CL vendors and do an excellent job.
Of course anytime you send stuff like that out of your control something bad could happen... but if you're in CA and they're in TX they'll really have to work for it

dave, one question....
I still have 2 program the new cut key 2 start the motor with my master key!!!
Does that mean they can't start the car?
Can they still get into it if its not programed? ie: open the doors etc?
