Master Key Broken

[Waz911]

Need some help desperatly with my master key for my 2003 Lexus Is200.

I turned the key while it was in the ignition and the plastic casing snapped! heard this is a common problem though. The actual blade is fine and so is the remote but its just the casing that has fallen to bits.

So my question is, can I just buy the plastic case off eBay and fit the blade and the transmitter ? or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Any thoughts from people who have had the same/similar problem would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Yes get the plastic case off eBay, and transfer the transponder across, you might need to get your local key cutters to do a copy of the key.

My car came with three keys; the grey valet key, a black master key (with casing cracked, but glued) and another master key completely broken apart.

I bought a flip key replacement, local key cutter cut mine, and although I had a little problem with it at first (wouldn't turn in ignition) a quick run over with a metal file soon sorted that. Been working fine for the past 3/4 months

I also bought one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-Toyota-Remote-3-button-key-fob-denso-type-is200-is300-gs200-gs300-LS-/251177034300?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item3a7b51623c

Just as a spare, since you don't often see them with the logo on the back. Quality is nice, buttons fit perfectly, etc. Not had it cut yet, it's just there as a spare.
