I have a 1998 GS300 that uses the same actuators as this model RX300. I purchased aftermarket actuators and installed them and my key fob didn't work either. I found a thread that said the aftermarket ones will usually make the key box to stop working and to take apart the oem actuator and replace and install the motor from the aftermarket. I did this to both the driver and passenger front and now my key fob works again. There are YouTube videos on how to do this, it's very easy.

I cannot stand having the alarm/anti-theft issue, it's very annoying. I had to unplug the the alarm horn to stop it from going off, haha.
Thanks again, mate.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, unfortunately I'll have to take apart my door panels again
and return the actuators and replace the motor inside the OEM actuator as well.

Hate to break it to you guys but that listing is for Chinese Knock-Offs.
Pretty tricky, they printed out OEM stickers to put in their pictures but I have seen enough actuators to tell the difference.
Here is a tutorial to explain some of the problems you guys are experiencing.

Your best bet is to buy some motors and rebuild your original OEM actuator. Way too many fakes going around these days.
