Default New Master Key= purchase, cut, and program?

I misplaced a master car key. Now I only have 1 master key.
Will these steps work to get a spare master key? Will the remote works?
Thanks!

I've never purchased from that seller on ebay but it looks like those are the correct steps.

www.autolocksmithfinders.com

Find a locksmith on there and call around for pricing. I purchased a similar key on ebay for around $3.50 for my 00 gs 300 and switched the electronics from another key which had a shell that was falling apart. I brought the key to a local store who specializes in cutting keys and they said the ebay key metal composition would harm their machines and I would have to purchase a key from them. It ended up being $35 for their key, cut with my electronics (other stores were around $15-25 more). I ended up getting refunded on my key. Make sure the store you're bringing it to will cut the ebay key.

Or you could order a key from the ebay sellers who cut it by a picture you send them - that's what I did.

It looks like our Eternity Key would fit your car. This will be the last key you will ever have to buy. Go to our website www.eternitykey.com click on video and you will see what I mean. Then click on order/order now to find a Lexus dealer in your area that offers our Eternity Key.

I would invest the $30 for the Techstream to program the key. TS will also allow you to CLEAR SLOTS from your ECU for other new keys.
