Forsure, i'll let you guys know tuterz. I just won that smart key so should be getting it in the mail within a week, keeping my fingers crossed lol
Yeah, check ebay out bostonSC4. That would be tiiight.
I just hate my '92 key.....its kind of embarrassing when i have to actually go up to my car and insert the key into the door to unlock them.
lol

This brings up a good question.....did all SC's come with keyless entry? When I bought my 94SC4 (used) I did not get a key with the keyless entry buttons ......would be nice to have that function....

The smart key won't work with the SC. The FCC ID on my IS250 smart key is completely different from the FCC ID on my SC key. If the ID isn't the same then the car won't recognize the key, so it can't be programmed.

I don't know if you guys have this button in your SC, but in my SC I got a button right next to the gas tank switch/trunk switch that says "OFF" and "REMOTE". Of course, I have it set to "OFF" all the time because when I bought my SC I only got one master key that opens everything. I have been wondering how to get keyless entry for my SC too since it is a luxury car, that is the only thing that my car is missing. I went to my local Lexus dealership and they told me for JUST the remote including programming and everything it was like $300-400 bucks. I said the hell with that lol. I am looking for a cheap alternative like you guys, although I would like to have a new set of genuine Lexus/Toyota keys, remote transponder, etc.

Well my key is a master key, but it doesn't have the remote. It is just a plain old key that opens everything manually. I will flip that switch though as soon as I get a damn remote that works lol.

Weeezy... from what I've read (and I've read a lot!) the fob has a transmitter which is on the same frequency as the receiver in the car. The receiver is located on a chip that is inside the remote lock ecu. This ecu is located behind the panel that is adjacent to the back seat, passenger side. You have to have matching units; ie, the key and chip have to be matched to work. I know Sewell sells the set. You have to provide proof of ownership and have a few bucks... The one you buy off ebay will be matched to another car. Later model cars could be reprogrammed, but not the '92s.
