So why did you buy the car without the master keys?

You need to add another option to your poll:

"I am a plonker"

Not wanting to flame you pal......but isn't asking for the master key STBO?

If you want new master keys you will need to go see Mr T, who will need to fit a replacement ECU, at huge expense to yourself. Sorry, but that's how it is.

i have the same problem(mine was not with the car,lost on the tube).

you can get a master key(with a remote control chip for the boot)for about 200 pounds + vat.if you have the 4 digit code.

lexus should have logged under your chassis number(i can ask a very friendly lexus agent if your local one can.t)mine was,nt logged!

if not, its on the nearside front door barrel(mine was the wrong number)so its manual for me.

cheers

i only joined today,but had mine for 6 years.

the boot release is under the dash on the right hand side

cheers

[Mr Morse]

No......

If you do not hold one of the two original master keys, the only fix is a new ECU. Big, big dinaro for this.

If you have one master key the charge is around £240

when you mean master key,do you mean the remote control one?.

all i,ve got is 2 normal keys,but my man at lexus said he could it get a new remote etc with the key code,if not,its a lock kit for 700 + vat(2 years ago).

Master key = the key with the 3 buttons

[marriner3]

all well,looks like we both screwed without the master,the lexus man may have been wrong about getting a new one made with just the code.

This discussion doesn't apply to you if you have a 1990 model. The master key issue only applies to vehicles with in-built immobilisers in the engine ECU (1998 onwards).

Also on the GS, LS, SC and probably RX after late 2000 (Oct 2000 onwards) a dealer can program a new master key without another master key. Special software can be loaded on the Toyota/Lexus diagnostic tool to do this.
