Hi All!
Only had 1 key so I bought a replacement from eBay, (£45), as was told I could get it re-programmed to the car. Did lots of research and YouTube vids say you can do it if the last 4 numbers on the circuit board are the same. It's a 3 button smart fob and everything checked out with the numbers.
Rang lots of Auto Locksmiths, Cardiff area, and only 1 said he could do it, (£75 plus VAT), but after trying he said it could not be done as they've added 'something' to the chip to prevent it from being reprogrammed. He said he had previously done a 2007 IS220D, but it was not possible to do it on this 60 plate model?
Is this right? Or is there someone who can do it with the right tools? Obviously Lexus will not entertain this as they want to sell me a new one. Any advice would be helpful!
Regards
Ade :-)
