Greetings all,

I have purchased a 2005 GS300 with a single master key and I would like to acquire a spare one. I have perused the different fora and if my understanding is correct, I do not have to get a key from a Lexus dealer, but purchase a blank copy, have a local locksmith cut it, and I can re-program the transmitter myself.

I have also perused different vendors, e-bay, ikeyless.com, keylessride.com, amazon.com, but what concerns me is that the prices vary significantly. Thus, I was wondering is someone who went this route could recommend a reliable vendor.

Second, are the following instructions valid:

• Make sure all doors and windows are now closed.
• Insert master key into the ignition cylinder and leave it in the OFF position.
• Cycle the ignition cylinder from ON to OFF five times.
• OPEN and CLOSE the Driver Side Door 6 times.
• Remove the Master Key and insert the new Duplicate Key.
• TURN THE IGNITION CYLINDER ON.
• The new key will be registered after 60 seconds. The THEFT light on the dashboard will go out, indicating that programming has been completed.

Kindest regards,

M

Maybe another member can comment on that

 

I purchased a brand new flip key that was precut all I had to do was program it myself. The company is called luxious

 

Hi MRANCING,

thank you for the reply, I have found https://www.luxiousauto.com/, but their web-side is under construction. Do you have a contact? How much did you pay if I may ask?

Kindest regards,

M
