RX350 2012. I'm not having success with getting my spare key fob (purchased off ebay) to be programmed. I'm using multiple locksmith to do this. They were charging $70-85 to program it, and since I'm driving to them, I'm not being charged a service fee. I had to returned the Fob back to the seller on eBay and he sent another one. Again,not successful by 2 locksmiths. I figured I could do it myself using the TechStream and instructions on YouTube, but for $70, I don't mind having a locksmith do it for me. And since I have my working original fob, I'm not really in a hurry. Perhaps someone can guide me on make sure I get the correct part from ebay. Seems like all the eBay sellers are saying it should program. If locksmiths can't do it, I'm not having confidence on myself doing it with a Techstream app. I listing all the relevant id's and numbers I'm able so see in the fobs.
The back of both my original and the eBay one are identical:
FCCID: HYQ14ACX
IC: 1551A-14ACX
COFETEL RLVDE1208-0265
Opened them up, and I start to see the differences:
Original Square Box above the battery compartment: 2026 11091VD
eBay Square Box above the battery compartment: 2026 100422VA
Original GNE: 271451-5290 4/12
eBay GNE: 271451-5290 10/12
Original Ti Chip: 37143AIDN 051 G4 TCYE3 1
eBay Ti Chip: 37143AIDN 015 G4 TC2F7 1
Original Chip Next to Tail Lift Button: 3143A EQ1Y4
eBat Chip Next to Tail Lift Button: 3143A EQ03G

I have recently bought a 2012 RX350 which came with only set of FOB. I am looking for a second set in case I lose this one.
You good people, please help me getting a second set of FOB without having to spend a inordinate amount of money. I am sure some of you might have already bought.
I used to have 2008 RX400H and recently totaled it. RX400H came with two sets of keys and one valet key. I am rookie as regards etiquette of posting a thread in this forum.
The moderator of this forum please direct me to appropriate place for this thread. Estimate of how much it will cost me get this? Thanks for your help. I am useless in programing etc.

You are in the right thread and it answers your questions. Start reading at the beginning.
Otherwise, just call a few locksmiths.

Thank you Clutchless Forum Moderator for directing me to to the appropriate information. I will keep you posted as to which option I have eventually chosen here in Toronto , Canada. Please accept my thanks in the meantime. I will share the cost with you as well. This is one of the best organised forum I have come across.

Hi, bought a second-hand car with one remote only. Does anyone have experience of getting another one? Lexus dealer is charging $900 for it.
This is 2011 RX450h Australia model.

Here in the US we have mobile locksmiths who can come to you and cut/program a second key for you while you wait. This process is always significantly less costly than going to a dealership. I presume Australia has mobile locksmiths as well.

Hi, I contacted a small business in a mall, they quoted $500. I need to explore more on that mobile locksmith option. Because there is no key and the remote is keyless, it makes it expensive.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I was quoted $440 CDN by the dealership for a new key fob for my 2015 RX350. The price includes programing. Is this a fair price?
Appreciate any info.
Thanks

You can purchase the Key Fob w. uncut key for about $160- $200 USD, Then you can ask around to see how much those that have a techstream program will charge to program it for you.
There are many other sources including Ebay..This one popped up with a google search
