Default Remote key program problem

Hello! I have a problem with my gs300 remote key. My gs300 have 2 NO ORIGINAL keys but without remote lock buttons. Now i buy a ebay key with door lock buttons and i cant program the key.

I did it with this post instructions https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...400-430-a.html

In the part 7 my car do the cycle but no more, my remote key dont do anything.

I can tell one thing, my driver door actuator don´t work, i dont now if this is a problem to program the remote.

Thanks!

During the step that tells you to use the power lock/ unlock switch just use the manual switch that only unlocks that one door. I had the same issue

A key without the remote part, I believe, is a Valet key.I was under the impression you can only program new keys with master keys,ie keys with the buttons.

Sorry, I don't see that in your first post.
Well you maybe need to go to a look smith shop or to the dealer to re program the key for you. Are you sure the key that you buy on eBay is the correct one?

Also, why you have 2 NO Original keys without buttons? Are you loose the original keys or you bought the car with these two keys? Because if you bought the car with the keys like that (button less) maybe the previous owner mislaid the original keys or the ECU which recognizes the key is bad and maybe that is the reason why you can't pass the step 7. That is what I said before, you maybe have to go to the dealer or to a lock smith shop.
