dude this will be the last thread i answer for you since u just refuse to do ANY leg work...all u had to do was search master key and u woulda found something relevant

sewell dealership, site sponser and vendor, master key 118 cut and shipped to you, you program with instructions from on here...i even bought a key from them like a year ago

congrats on the car...

easy answer: buy from sewell lexus online parts store. 100 something. enter code clublexus i think for 10% off. You get a key shipped for 150ish and you program yourself.

Search and youll find

I paid I think 250 for my key from Maplewood Lexus. Expensive, but cheaper than if I lost my only key and had to deal with the headaches associated with that.
