I have a 99 LS 400, the only key I have for this is the 3 button master, all keys have a transponder fitted, i tried to buy a new key in Australia 7000 km away. i was told the only way they could make the transponder work on a new key was if they had the car as well as the master key. the Car is in New Guinea and there is no Lexus dealer. [the Toyota dealer asked' what is a Lexus'] can anyone help? Is there any way the transponder in new keys can be programmed without the car?

Cheers

I bought a secondhand key and a new blank key off eBay. I got the new key cut and put the transponder from the secondhand key in it. Then I programed the key to work in my car (this is done inside the car), got all the info from google.

Re programming transponder key to work

Thanks very much for your info, it took me 2 months to get spare keys, it is not easy when you live on a tropical island, used the info from the website ie push accelerator 5x, push brake 6 times etc and miracle it worked. cannot thank you enough for this, I can now relax knowing if I lose the key I wont have to ship the car 5000 miles.

I also found that programmable keys are available [not from Lexus], if you have a master key you read the data from the transponder and then program the transponder in the new key to match. only drawback cost of about US$250.00 per key

thanks again LOBES
