Default HELP...new actuators installed and now key won't work

Hey guys my father just recently replaced the actuators on the passenger side of his GS and now all the doors lock/unlock work when pressing the button on the doors. However, the master key does not lock/unlock the doors when its buttons are pressed. I searched for a DIY on how to reprogram the key but none of the instructions have worked so far. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Does installing new actuators require a trip to the Lexus dealer to reprogram the key? Thanks a lot...

if you have both keys, insert the master into the lock, and turn it both ways a few times. once you do this, insert the secondary key in and turn it back and foth a few times. if there is a third, repeat again. if you have only one key, you will need to take it to the dealership and have it reprogrammed by the ECU
