How do I tell if the key I have to my car is a master key?
The 2002 GS300 I recently bought only came with 1 key. How can I tell if this is a master key?
It has the remote keys in it that lock, unlock doors and the trunk.

So all I would need to do now to get a second key is to buy a transponder key blank from ebay, get it cut at a locksmith and then program it in the car correct?

Is there a way to determine the amount of keys the ECU currently believes it has programmed?

Hey man where in Jersey are you? Im right near seaside. But anyway I just went through this myself because I only had 1 master key and I couldn't find any local locksmiths that would duplicate a car key for me. They all said no because of people getting keys made to steal cars. I ended up paying $250 at Ray Catena in Freehold which sucked.

I'm in the Woodbridge area so a bit north of you. I'm pretty sure Dekoff's Perth Amboy Lock can cut auto keys, or at least thats what their website says.
I also saw that they can be cut at Sewell Lexus Parts via mail (http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2002/4644.html) for $40.00. Still a big savings over what you paid.
