Help needed, programming a remote

Hi,
I am from Australia, recently imported a Lexus GS350 2006 from Japan. Very happy with the car but only 1 issue.. I only have a key/remote and desperately need of a spare..
I went to the DIY section, it was informative but i cant find the programming remote part?
Can anyone direct me or tell me how can i get another remote and program it?
Any help is very much appreciated~

Thanks and you guys got so much more looking model that we dont have in aus...

Cheers~

Greetings and welcome to CL!

Your local Lexus dealer will need to program your remote. Unfortunately there is no DIY for the 3GS' smart key access system.
