Hello
This is my "rant". I had a master key that was lost. Went to the Lexus dealer in Ontario. I had been through that hassles with tech... I bought 2 keys with fob and same FCC #. I asked the tech to program the keys. Tech told me it wouldn't work. I had to buy a master key from the part dept, then programmed it. I still hav 2 keys with me. Tech told me if I take extra 2 keys to locksmith to "copy" from the master key, it would mess up and lock me out???

I ended purchasing new master key for $200 and paid $358 to program.

Any suggestion if I should risk to take extra 2 keys to locksmith?????

Does yours have a smart key? I think it is just a key with a remote fob. If so, get Techstream and a cable from Amazon and program your keys yourself. If you have one master key and Techstream you can program and delete all the keys you want. Sounds like the dealer you used is a jerk.

Does anyone know what software or program is needed? Im trying to figure out how to buy the actual software so that I can reprogram it myself. I have a used key FOB from another car because second key Igor from dealer is not for my car.

I just had this done, I used a fob from my 06 GS and had this guy erased everything and converted the 06 fob for my 08 GS, he was using an iPad and some heavy duty looking tablet that was like 3 ich thick lol, it had almost every car brand on the menu.

blows my mind how many people will spend money to get this car, but won't pay the $30 for an e-bay/amazon mini-VCI cable. I guess people like to spend hours drinking the >$100 dealership coffee to get things "scanned" and "reprogrammed". just mind blowing...
