I had to find a locksmith that would cut a lexus key. In Kansas City there are few choices. Lexus will not cut a key that was not purchased from their parts dept.

Call the dealership .. parts does the key cutting. Dealer can cut the key with just the vin #
Lexus are pretty common, so your local locksmiths should be able to tell you over the phone if they can or can not. They would need a good key to make a duplicate. They will have to determine if the broken key can be duplicated.
