  1. Not going to lie, I did have a doubt for £2 a shell but for that price you may as well give it a go! :D if these break I will definitely be going back to lexus but I thought I may as well give these a go before. I'll let you know how I get on with these after some use. Won't be keeping any other keys on the keyring as they could bash against the shell causing it to crack and weaken. Like I said I'll let you know how I get on and it'll be good to hear if you experiences as well. Thanks!
  2. Hi thanks for the reply, I've just received them and they seem like the genuine OEM ones, they're the ones with the gold shaft. They also have the gold lexus logos on the rear of the key. I've taken the transponders out of the old keys and put them in the new keys and they're a snug fit. Just need to get the keys cut now which is the main obstacle but I'll do another post on how I got on with that. I'll include some photos of the new keys! Thanks and I hope post has been of some help to those also experiencing issues with keys.
  3. Hi all, I think this is my first post, I haven't use the forum in a while so I'll reintroduce myself if I haven't already done so. I'm Dill, 21 years old from Leicester. Have been driving a IS200 sport for around 4 months now that was acquired off my father who no longer needed it. Have loved driving it so far, the silky smooth straight six is just ace. Just thought I'd post a link for you all, I'm aware that a lot of Lexus IS and users of other models have issues with the key casing cracking and breaking due to the poor design of the shell. Since I acquired my lexus I have had the OEM key break on me, which had cracks in it when I acquired the car, and two non branded lexus keys also crack and snap. I was surfing on eBay looking for genuine Lexus keys and I came across these OEM Denso keys from Hong Kong and for a couple of quid they look like a steal so I ordered two. What I plan to do is take the innards out of the two aftermarket keys I have at the moment, put them into these Denso keys that I have just ordered, then take them to a local auto locksmith to have the keys cut down to size. Anyway heres the link and I hope you find it useful, as soon as the keys arrive I'll be reviewing them and letting you know of my experience. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBlack+Remote+Key+Keyless+Entry+Fob+Replacement+Case+Blade+Shells+For+Lexus&_nkw=Black+Remote+Key+Keyless+Entry+Fob+Replacement+Case+Blade+Shells+For+Lexus&_sacat=0 Thanks and I look forward to speaking to you all soon!
