ROM Key Questions
I have a 93 LS400, and my keyless entry does not work because the PO lost the screw to hold the key case shut and lost the button as well so I bought a new key w/ keyless entry.
The parts counter said it would be $60 for programming and I asked if I could program it from inside the car, and they said yes, if I knew how. I assumed I did because I had seen instructions online. Now I come to find out we were both wrong and you need a new ROM chip as well. A chip came with my key, so I guess I need to install it, but I wasn't sure where to do it, from what I've read its some where in the trunk but I was wondering if anyone had a picture or could give me more specific directions.
Also the key I was sold has a different FCC ID than the original and I asked if this would be a problem and they said no. I was wondering if it would become a problem should i ever repair my original key.
Currently the new key opens the door and starts the car just the keyless entry doesn't work.

see that's why you need to space things out and not give us a straight block of text.
iirc the chip goes into a box in the trunk, but it's different on a 1st gen so i have no real idea.
