He can either order the key online or from his dealership simply by providing the VIN and proof of ownership. For someone who takes care of his car so much I'm surprised he gave you the original master key in the first place. I know that if I were in his position I would have had a duplicate key made just for you but I guess he's ignorant of the fact that it's a simple procedure to order one! Shame on him for not doing his research!

I know his addiction to car. I don’t like it. But he always has been like that. So I can’t do anything about it. I hate it. I told him if he would have lost my car key, I would have not even cared at all. But then again I have cheap corolla yr 2000. His Lexus cost way too much.
This is last time I am ever taking anybody’s key. Especially if person is so addicted their car.

sounds like he is paranoid, i would tell him not to worry about it. The chances of whoever finds that key and finding the vehicle that matches the key is close to zero.

Honestly, he should've never said a thing about it, then came here and researched himself to find out it was only $60 bucs (that’s for a new key btw) rather then asking his gf (the one who has a more expensive car then him) to pay him $1000 bucs for a lost key.
We need a poll for future's sake

Im really sorry to be the one to tell you that you cant program keys with remotes on 1990-1992's if im not mistaken. You would have to buy new keys, and a new chip to work with your new remotes ($$$$$) . Here is the link:

You get 2 keys and a transponder.

so its $347 for two keys and a transponder?
he would not have to change car locks right? he can still use his current keys to open the car plus two new ones?
$347 is still too much for me to pay. i dont know what i am going to do.

Now I'm curious...what has the dealer quoted to replace the key?
My memory has these years with the integrated remote key but you simply need to get the corresponding FCC ID# to be compatible with the remote capabilites of unlock, lock and trunk. These keys can be registered by the end user with a recognition program readily available here or on the net.
There is an ignition kill built into the ECU but the key does not have an ignition immobilizer transponder chip . This didn't come into the LS4 until '97+.
You can buy a non-remote key to operate the vehicle. The integrated remote will cost some $$. Unless both keys are lost, then you may be talking some serious $$ for the chip and new keys along with the usual key registration process.
Call your dealer and let us know.

It is true you can get the keys cheaper as stated above.
But come on ,you can't blame the boyfriend. He probably went to the dealer and how many times have they given us incorrect info charging 3 arms and 5 legs for simple parts.
He may be over inflating the price or the dealer is too stupid or that crooked to be not making a normal profit.
We all know better from our collective knowledge and sharing in the cars . Which mostly came from stupid dealers raking us over the coals .

While the factory security isn't fool proof, a properly cut key will allow the '89-'96 LS to be driven. Beginning with '97, the key was registered with the car before it would allow the engine to run.

Beginning with the '97: if it does not contain the transpoder key that has been registered with the car, the engine merely cranks. Those plastic wallet emergency keys or simple copies will only allow you to open the car.
The 95-97 LS remote is also compatible with several years of the frist gen SC 3/4.
FCC ID: HYQWDT-C
Canada: 1551 K1420.
The first gen integrated key has a similar FCC ID but is possibly designated by a "B". Dunno, it's been a spell.
