I got one off ebay, your best bet is to call around different lexus dealerships and see if they will cut an ebay key for you. A couple that I called wouldn't touch it. But one dealership said they would do it, charged me $25 and it didn't work until I put the transponder in it from my other key. Had no idea the transponder actually did anything because I even let the battery die and used it a couple months with no battery in the transponder. But yeah..

yea, ive had a lot of keys made for random stuff, lost keys hand cut etc..

and i got a locksmith who will do it easily... and i got a friend who has worked at our lexus dealership he was helping me with my current key


my key that came with the car is superglued like crazy, and looks awful.. i pried the back plate off and the battery was dead is why the keyless wasnt working, so im going to pry the transponder out and put it in the new cut key when it arrives
