question about making a new key
hey there guys .. i heard about it sometimes not being able to accept it and stuff when programming and stuff .. i saw some instructions on this site but was wondering if anyone has confirmed that it works. .. and i was thinking of buying a key from this guy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

That is Sewell Lexus.
I'm sure they will send you the programming instructions for your specific make and model. It will work as long as you have a Master Key. Programming in the remote is usually the most difficult and may take you several tries. It is all about the timing!
Take care,
Tami

The problem with buying OEM keys off of Ebay is that most of them have been refurbished. Do not buy one of these keys! The old blade is dremeled out and a new blade has been superglued in. It is only a matter of time before the key falls apart.
The second problem you will run into is that a lot of these Ebay sellers have no way to cut the key. It takes a special key machine to cut your keys. You will find the same problem with local locksmiths. Not all locksmiths have the proper key machine.
If you want an OEM key then just buy one from Sewell Lexus. See the group buy for their key sale! The key will come already cut so you won't have to worry about it. You will also know that it is a brand new key.
You want OEM so be prepared to pay the OEM price.
