Master Key Fob Braking

[GWilso]

Hi some advise again needed please,

The plastic fob on the master key is cracked and ready to snap into pieces, my question is am i able to buy a replacement key fob and just swap everything over? Or am I going to need a replacment from Lexus?

Cheers

Gordon

If it's like mine, the blade won't swap over, so will need cutting.

I advise using a proper locksmith, parking nearby so you can check the key works your locks and take it back to be fettled if not.

That's what I was fearing mikey I've ordered a new key and fob of eBay I guess I can just swap Battery etc etc into the new one easily? And as you say get it cut any idea on cost? Thanks again

I paid £4, but on a previous thread, there were various prices mentioned, so maybe ring a few locally for quotes.

And yes, in my case everything just swaps except the blade, and the quality isn't up to Lexus standard, but not bad by any means.
