Lexus SC400 Keyless Entry Remotes & Programming Instructions
What does your local dealer charge for Lexus keyless entry remotes?
My Lexus dealer wants $149 a piece plus $35 for programming for each of my cars (96 SC400, 99 ES300)
I'm curious to see what other dealerships are charging for new remotes and programming.
I'm done with ebay because the listings show new remotes, and 3 out of 3 times I've won - I end up with junk that doesn't work and won't program. First one was superglued together and cracked. Can't check the battery if you can't even open it. Second one was completely corroded inside from water and didn't work. The 3rd one only 1 button worked and it looked like someone tried to superglue the circuit board pieces back together. Each one was advertised as new, or like new and they obviously weren't anywhere close to that. The Keyles Ride site is run by one of those same lying ebay sellers, so thats off the list too.
What does your local dealership charge? I bet there's some that want even more than what mine is charging.

I found another site online that I'm willing to give a shot - www.ThePartsYouNeed.com
The other KR site wants about $95 a piece with shipping for the 96 SC400 remote.
They're less than 1/2 that price on ThePartsYouNeed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 this morning.

I'll keep you guys posted. If it works good, I'm going to order one for my ES300 as well.

I got my remote from ThePartsYouNeed.com in the mail today. 4 days isn't bad for delivery.
Programming was easy, took about 10 seconds. I can't believe a dealership would charge 1/2 hour of labor for a 10 second job. Thats a good way to lose customers.
Anyhow, the remote works great and when I went to put in an order for remote for the ES300 I noticed I got free shipping, so I bought a 2nd remote for the SC400 and a pair for the ES300. FINALLY I will have remotes that work and that I can use.
ThePartsYouNeed.com rocks!

I got the 2nd set of remotes in today.
I confused myself a little when trying to program the 2nd remote to the SC because I didn't finish reading. I was programming the new one, but de-programming the first remote. After like 3 tries, I decided to read the whole sheet and found that I had to program them both together.
The ES programming was pretty much the same. Now I have 2 remotes for each car which makes things a lot easier. Hopefully these won't end up in the washing machine like the last ones!

stealership told me 248.00 for key and a hour and a half because they would have to take out my rear seats to program. He was suprised when I told him I was'nt prepared to pay for a 500 dollar key. Partsuneed has it for 59.99 plus shipping. Don't go to Stevens Creek lexus.
