1997 Remote Key Programming..can I use a different key?
Hello:
I recently bought a pre-owned 1997 Lexus ES300. The car only came with the valet key..no remote access transponder. I was curious as I see a lot of keys for sale online, ebay, etc. Can I buy one to program myself? What information is needed to make sure I get the right key? Also, I see that later model ES300's come with the transponder built into the key. If I have to buy something, can I just buy one of those and have it cut/programmed to fit my 1997 ES300? Many thanks for all of your help.

Found it!
I found a remote transponder and when my car was in for service they replaced the battery and programmed it for me. All told, it was an additional 50bucks to the service, not a bad deal.
