Default Can you drive a car when security key light is blinking?

Yesterday we tried to flush the ECU, because my wife lost master key. So I bought a key on the ebay. When we tried to flush the ECU it turns out to be wrong chip. I still have the wallet key which starts and drives the car. Problem is, the security key light is blinking. Do you think I can drive for a few days while I am waiting for my key.

Thank you

Problem solved! I found locksmith who knows how to flush the ECU, and he can sell you original brand new key.

Hello,
He specialize in keys that has transponder (or chips). His phone number is 818-648-9959. He charges $120, dealer charges $257 (Keyes Lexus) and he will come to your place. He is very honest guy.
