Default Options for a new master key?

Key finally broke. Can anyone besides the dealer cut a new blade? I was going to transfer the transponder/guts to a new housing.

Thx

I doubt. Might find a lock smith who has the right machine but probably need a good copy to create another. Sounds like you will have to go dealer.

ebay key shell and find a local locksmith that can cut it for you (check regional forums).

Local place cuts mine for $10-12/key

Does the 98-00 LS400 have a chipped key?
