Sucks...this means that u DON"T have the master key but rather the valet key.
My buddy has the same problem.. I believe the valet key prevents unlocking what you mentioned.

You will need to purchase a master key....

I don't believe valet keys have remotes??? but i could be wrong.

Maybe the locks in question were changed by the previous owner?

I believe if looking for a master key, Lexus will need your name and vin#.

There is also a clublexus sponsor that does keys... check the banners..

I had a key laser cut at a locksmith, it worked fine for the ignition, but not the trunk or glovebox. After comparing to my master key, I noticed it didn't have the ridge along the sides of the key cut out. ( Like the Valet Key) I took a dremel tool and a small disc and cut it out, and it unlocks everything now.

Do you have any pictures of what the “ridge” is? Is it a bevel or an addition to the cut down the center? I had some keys cut at Lexus of Seattle and they were supposed to be masters , but they function as valet keys. I am hoping to do the dremel, disc modification to make them fully functional.

use any tool Press the tool in behind the latch and by moving it and prying on the door , you will be able to get the glove box open
