Default Key Fob Stolen....

Had my key fob along with my house keys and wallet stolen today......was wondering how much it would cost to get a replacement and reprogram the lock/unlock setting?

Wouldn't it be wise to change the locks? They can drop by anytime and unlock the car. Might not be able to drive off with it, but still.

This should be covered by your insurance, shouldn't it?

How about the Enform app remote lock/unlock as a replacement?

Not a good alternative...1) can't drive the car with just the app so useless if the only fob goes missing and 2) $249.90/year cost way more than just getting a second key.

OP consider getting the smart card key?

When they program the replacement fob they will also be doing your remaining fob. If the lost
fob finds its way back to your car it will not work. The mechanical key will however still open the
drivers door, glove box and trunk.

very expensive between 400-500 U$, I lost the spare key fob, but I had the extra insurance when got the car and the key fobs were covered under it (one per year)

How much was this extra insurance? You are talking some kind of dealer add on?

Just wondering if you cam out ahead?

It's was offered from the dealer, it covers the tires, scratches, dents, and key fobs that's on top of my head.

This can be done using a Techstream cable and buying a pass-code from a couple sites that offer them. This gives you the option of buying a cheap key off ebay that was already programmed as the process wipes any keys and reprograms them to a new seed.

This process is what a dealer will do if you want them to reprogram the car. I did the process on my RC and bought a credit card key for $80 off ebay. However I am very confident in my Techstream abilities too

Just lost one of my key fobs for my 2013 RX350. My dealer in PA wants $188 for the fob, $95 for the emergency key and $40 to program for a total of $323 + tax. I found Bell Lexus of North Scottsdale has the fob for $116.46 (including shipping). I am waiting to hear if they can get me the emergency key.

Has anyone else purchased items from Bell Lexus?
Any other dealerships that you would suggest checking?

You MUST verify the key has never been programmed at that price as that is almost too good to be true! If it has already been programmed you can't just "wipe" a key clean. Just a heads up.
