Your friendly Lexus dealer. Was this a priovate purchase? If procured from a Lexus Dealer, they should have given you the additional keys, or had some made for you.

Or else you might want to go the route of ebay and get it programmed and cut by your local lexus dealer. Do a search on this topic, you'll not be disappointed with the ton of info on this subject. I have the flat key and 1 master, I want a 2nd master, too. But still have not done it. Expect to pay $100 after all is said and done.

I think you need at least ONE master key to program additional keys.

Salim is correct. You (lkomet) maybe in a bit more trouble than you're realize. In order to make new master key(s), the dealer may recommend replacing the computer which will cost a ton of money. However, I remember reading on the internet somewhere that the computer can be reset to accept new master keys. You just have to do some research if the reset method is possible.
