Lexus Key
BlkGX470.....
Looks to me that by the time you spend $50 to get the key programmed you will have spent as much as Sewell Lexus wants for the key, with our CL discount. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's a good lesson for all of us.

Actually I got the uncut OEM Key from a dealer on ebay and it was $79 plus $20 to get it cut. Although, the key came with programming instructions I have not tried it yet.
So that's $100 for a key. I called around LA from different lexus dealers and I got quotes from $200 to as high as $400.
Where is Sewell Lexus located? It's out of state isn't it?

Sorry you couldn't get it at the price that I got it for. They weren't affiliated with me or clublexus so mentioning the name wouldn't help . They just happen to be the 2nd locksmith that I checked when I drove around and this was about a year ago.
He asked me where I got the key also.
Sewell is in Texas.
For $50 to program the key? Screw that, save your $50, come down next time and we'll fiddle with the program. It's not that hard at all as I remember from my GS.
Why don't you try the programming that came with the key? It's just a matter of putting in the master key, take it out, put in new key, step here, step there........

Hey GS3Tek,
I didn't know we were coming to Orange County this past weekend. It was a spur of the moment. Give me your contact number so I can give you a ring when i'm down there. I will definitely call you if I can't figure out the programming thing.
I will try it this week to see if I can program it. By the way, did you program first to start the car or did you program the buttons first?

Cap,
its alright, i from what my wife always tells me am **** when it comes to almost everything so i try my best to spend wisely as well. that's why i called around and see which dealers were reasonable and none of them were.
I didn't think of ordering keys from out of state because I thought they have to program it so it has to be local. At least next time I know I can get it anywhere.
Thanks for the heads up about Sewell Lexus though. Which is funny because I ordered All Season Floor Mats from there as well. I got it from ebay and that's why I didn't know it was from Sewell.
By the way, you, GS3Tek and I should meet and have some bobba one of these days.

Sure thing, we can meet up. Let me know when you're down in this area again.
