Need A New Master Key For My 97 Ls400

[Andrew D]

Hello All,

I have just bought a great 1997 LS400 but it only has the valet key (grey), does anyone know where or how I can get a new master key?

Also the boot security button got pressed before realising what it did and now I can't get in the boot. Any ideas on how I can overide the security lock?

Thanks

Andrew

No idea mate.

But I would suggest that anybody who does know a way of defeating the security, doesn't post details on an open forum.

Fair point

As far as I know, unless you have a master key to start with, it may not be possible, because you need the master to program another key.

Agree with above, I think you need to source a set of master key/locks/ecu from a scrappy to keep the cost down. Once you have a master, you can reprogram your valet key to the new ecu.

For the button, I think you will need to remove the trim panel with the button on it and do the wires from the back.
