Default Help! One Transponder Key. Best way to get another?

I searched the forums for this answer.... Could not find help for my CT. What's the best way to get another complete transponder key besides a Lexus dealer? Can a Toyota dealer match the 14ACX?

Grats on your new F Sport! I have a blue 2014 too, the color is amazing when it's clean and shiny!

(Sorry, don't have an answer for your question)

According to the Lexus dealer here in Portland, no Cosmic blue CTs were shipped to the NW part of the country. Only California and Texas got them. That code color wasn't even in their system. Had to special order touch up paint in Concord CA

Do you mean Ultrasonic Blue Mica? (I had to special order my car, and the dealer said this was the first blue CT they had ever seen for 2014)

Yup ultrasonic blue. I googled that color, and surprised to find that on nissan Z forums as well as other car forums, it's the repaint color of choice for many car enthusiasts

It's an incredibly beautiful color when washed and waxed (or if you use a wash/wax spray like me), and gets a lot of compliments. Lexus seems to always use this color on any F models they show off in media, leaving white for non-F types.

Radin I'm gonna use "Glare" brand polish on her this week. Best stuff out there. Did my brothers Gold 2004 and this is the result. Google "glare polish YouTube". And see similar results

Thanks for the tip. I use Meguiar's Wash and Wax Anywhere spray with a high plush microfiber towel from Griot's Garage. After I clean my car, it looks almost identical to the pictures you posted. I'll try to get you a shot so you can see. It's basically a mirror finish thanks to the wax.

That looks fantastic! There are several good products out there, the Glare you used looks like great results to me My personal polish of choice is Zaino. Attached is a pic I snapped while detailing. I took advantage of my wife being out of town
