CUT & Program any LEXUS KEY without DEALER

[Axchange]

Hi all, I am new to the forum. I saw many people looking for a way to replace their key. Majority people uninform ..and think that only way to cut and program a key is through the dealer. I just want to share the information with you guys..since I had this problem myself.

Last month I purchased my 04 Lexus RX330. I only got 1 master Key. Like everyone esle, I searched the web for a way to cut and program it. I called the dealer and they said ...the key must be purchased and program through the dealer ...or else it will not work. THIS IS WRONG. They LIED.

Yes they do need to make a living but...doesn't have to lied and be unethical to the customer.

I ordered two keys from ebay for around $65.

I called my local locksmith ...from Minnesota...

I meet up with him at Perkins...and he cut the key with a regular grinding machine...that copy the pattern to the orginal. (Anyone said that it must be cut with a laser cutter is...WRONG)

The guy cut the two keys in 15min.

He had a small hand held device that hook up to the bottom of your driver dash.

Programed the two keys ..with locks and rear auto doors ..within 15mins...

The whole entire entire procedure takes about 30 min total.

Total price for each key to cut and program ? $50.

So my total price for both keys was $100.

I suggest you all to get a good key from good ebay seller...

Then call your local locksmith to have him cut and make to ask if he have a key programer. Chances are..you can get it done easily ..with out the Nasty Dealer ripoff price.


ONCE and FOR ALL..
