sounds to me like you are just in a bad area to use your keys (remotes) this can be down to alot of interferance from wireless internet hubs etc , try using the remote in different locations and see if it starts to work if so that is the problem very common on a lot of car even lexus and toyota Hope this helps

i thought lexus covered the belts to 90k under warranty? they did when i ued to work there.

best advice is never use your master key keep it safe at home always use sub master or valet key, the reson been if you loose yor valet key and someone does find it and know its for your car you can delete the valet key with your master key via the car and also delete the remote as well. The best thing is when you have deleted the key you can get a new key and programm it your self with the master key. Hope this helps

To delete all but one key from the unit 1. Simultaneously depress and release brake and accelerator pedals 1 time. 2. Insert an existing master key into the ignition cylinder.Do not turn the key from the OFF (LOCK) position. 3. Within fifteen seconds of inserting the key, depress and release the accelerator pedal six times. 4. Within twenty seconds of completing the above step, depress and release the brake pedal seven times. 5. The security light will flash, indicating all keys other than the one being used have been deleted. 6. Remove the key from the ignition cylinder within ten seconds. It will be the only key still programmed to work. Add Duplicate Key 1. Simultaneously depress and release brake and accelerator pedals 1 time. 2. Insert existing master key into ignition. 3. Within 15 seconds depress and release accelerator pedal 5 times. 4. Within 20 seconds depress and release the brake pedal 6 times and remove key. 5. Within 10 seconds insert new key into ignition. 6. Within 10 seconds depress and release the accelerator pedal 1 time. 7. After 80 seconds new key is registered and security light goes off. 8. Remove new key and depress and release brake pedal 1 time. i also belive you can program 3 master keys and 5 sub/valet keys with one working master key. Hope this helps

look at it this way if lexus didn't have a master key system and you lost your keys they would still charge a fortune to put it right, you can always have your master key cloned and then keep that at home would only cost about £60.00

You have to be careful when it comes to keys even tho you can have a key with three buttons open close and boot it doesn't mean it is the master key, because you can program any key as the master and any key as the valet key dosnt matter about the buttons, it comes down to how it was programmed. All the keys have the transponders on the electric circit inside the remote, the only real way of seeing if you have the master key is to insert the key into the ignition and if it is the master key the security light will not come on. but if a valet key is inserted the security light will come on for about 2 seconds then go out. This is the only real way of testing without diagnostics. hth

LITTLELEGS You can only programm your own keys if you have the master key. Without the master key you can only get your key cloned or ecu reflashed.
