I recently purchased a 95 LS400, and included were only 2 keys, I am assuming one of them is the valet and the other is the master.... Does this car come from the factory with a separate remote fob for keyless entry, or is it built into the master key? I've searched the forum and it seems as though the 95-96 do not have a remote key? Also, how trustworthy is it to purchase the remote fob from ebay, as one of the other members have posted? Lastly, there is a security indicator light in the car, is the car equipped with a factory alarm? How does it work? Will i need a remote to activate/deactivate it? thanks for the space... I'm sure I will have many more questions soon!

A 95 comes with two remote fobs, I attached a chart for you below.
It also has a factory alarm, works with the keys as well and automatically arms/disarms the OEM system when you lock and unlock your doors. It's basically just an ignition kill where your horns beep and your lights flash when it goes off. It doesn't have a separate siren like a regular alarm.
Also, just a tidbit of info I thought you might like to know. I believe it works on a 95, when you unlock your drivers door and then turn the key as if your unlocking it again (two times) the drivers window will roll down to cool off the car prior to entering it. Not sure how many owners know the car has that feature.

Thanks for the reply.... I guess I have to go to Lexus for the remote fob.... or is Ebay a viable option?

Wow, I didn't know that I could roll the window up and down using my key, very cool.
I have a 95 LS400 and I would love to ditch the separate remote fob for a one-piece key/remote from a newer Lexus. Has anyone ever managed to do this?

I have not been able to program a remote for my 95 LS400. According to the dealership it can't be done without replacing the control unit in the car.
My experience so far seems to back up that claim.

search on US ebay using HYQWDT-C as your search term, and have it search titles AND descriptions, should be able to find one for around US$40 which is about $41 CND
