If u just need the key and not the chip, then u can go to any good looksmith and they should be able to cut one for about $30 - $40. If u need the whole setup - key with the chip programmed u will have to get it from a lexus dealer. will prob run u around 150

You can just get the key and program it urself.. the only key that doesn't come with a chip is the wallet key.. as long as you have the master key you can program any other key yourself, if you don't have the master key you'd better have that metal number tag with the key code on it, if not.. well I think you know what I'm going to say...

You will need to go throught the dealer to get the key cut and programmed. $150 seems right for the key, but then you will be charged for the labor to program. Let us know how much it cost and which dealer you wind up using.

Sewell Lexus can cut the key for you if you just show proof of ownership. To get it programmed, you have to take it to the dealer or do it yourself

If you can manage to get yourself a sub key here's do it yourself key programming: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t371582.html
programming the key yourself will save you 50 bucks
