Try these 

I had my BM keys done by this outfit a couple of years ago. Worth a try. Quick turn around and not too expensive with an instruction sheet attached to go through the faff of the car and keys recognizing each other.

Is this guy able to clear and reset keys? I'll make contact.

They said they don't do Lexus key resets sadly.

Have you had successes adding keys to your car?

Are these keys "junk" as my friend in the Lexus parts department claims?

Will I need to pay someone to reset these keys if I want to use TechStream/Dealership to add these to a car?

There are two options to do it.

Either take it to a dealer and get them to programme it (if (big if) they will programme a used part)

OR obtain the Toyota software and do it yourself - i've never tried this but seen videos of it being done.

Hope this helps

Dealership charges £75 per key up front.

A friend of mine in the parts department said used/already programmed keys are junk scrap and useless; they wouldn't be able to program it.

I don't know how true that is, since I have seen posts talking about resetting keys and I have read about the procedure to add a key to a car (ON OFF 5 times, door 6 times, ect).

What kind of software am I looking at if I did it myself?

Not low enough

There's people paying money to lower and stance their cars, and Lexus owners are getting it done for free by dislocating the control arm. 

It could also be an indicator of a control arm issue.

Here is an example of a functioning compressor and air strut, which due to the control arm being dislocated had sagged.

After repairing and positioning, it returned to normal levels.

Hello.

I've picked up two (presumably used) keys from eBay both working at a low price from the same seller.

The keys apparently were 2001, and look the same.

My car is 2001 LS430, UCF30R-AEAGKW; Europe, Right hand drive, 3UZFE, 5 speed automatic, and apparently Ultraluxury edition (but without parking sensors).

Is there a way to program these to start the car and function identical or similar to the only master key I have?
