You need to go to lexus and get a new master key. They are going to have to re program the car since you lost your only master key. Lexus cuts you a break and gives every car ONE re programming for free but if a previous owner has already done that you are screwed and probably looking at $1500. A key alone cost me $250 here in Jersey and if they re program the cars computer for free you have to buy 2 keys. I hear a lot of guys out in Cali get keys cheaper at the dealer but thats only if you go to the dealer and spend money there. Good luck.

I suggest you read the forums. If the dealer wants to charge you some locsmiths can reprogram the computer for a new remote. You can look for remotes in the club Lexus classified or on eBay. Another option is to look for a used computer with the master key included. If you can find that you simply swap the computer and you are good to go.

This is what you need. (I bought this one a while ago when my computer whent bad)

Here is some more info. Do a search because I remember reading someone who did there programming and rebooting that posted on one of these forums (may not be the GS forumn since the othe lexuses use the same systems)
