How to program 2006 GX 470 remote
Hi,
I lost my key a few weeks back. I purchased a replacement cut key for $160 and had steps to program the remote but the steps I have do not work.
Does anyone have the steps to program the remote?
Thank you!
Ryan

Programming replacement key
For the record, by "programming" I mean that I was able to get a brand new replacement key to function with my 2005 GX470 for the following functions:
Lock doors
Unlock doors
Panic button
The key still had to go back to the dealer to have it keyed for the ignition kill start. But everything else worked fine.

Count me as being your first 2005 GX470 owner to "program" the key. I had a bit of a problem at first with programming the key but it was due to the "timing" where you had to press one or two of the buttons within 2 seconds after opening and closing the door...

What is meant by ignition kill start? Is that the aftermarket part where you can start your car while outside the vehicle?

Actually , everyone has been able to get it to control the windows ,doors,etc. The ignition being the most important IMO. If all someone wants an extra key for is to open the windows and doors and not start the vehicle then a trip to the dealer is not required.

Pearl/DSMiles,
Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't sure what the term "PROGRAMMING" meant. Hence the reason for the specific description that I posted.
The ignition kill start is the FACTORY LEXUS ignition starter kill. Embedded in the the on board LEXUS vehicle is a master component/computer that prevents any attempts to hotwire/jump start the vehicle, like in the movies (eg, break glass, open door, rip panel from under steering wheel, rip wires and splice/short the wires...)
The LEXUS system I belive is called the IMMOBILIZER (?) and it will NOT allow the car/truck to start without the decoded encoded onto the KEY FOB. I told a fib to my dealer and told them that my "factory" key stopped working for the ignition, everything else worked, doors unlock/lock/panic, key turns in (locksmith cut it for me...), dealer cheerfully reprogrammed the key no charge.

I specifically told them that I had lost my key and they immediately quoted me a price of $250 plus tax to have the key replaced. I told them that I already have a spare key and I just needed to program, they told me it would be a "minimum 1hr" service charge. So I said thanks and hung up the phone.
I appreciate the follow up posts here Pearl, but this is a done deal already, case closed, as I already have my key reprogrammed at no cost. While I certainly could have "shopped" around to try to get a better price, I didn't.
No harm, no foul, just "passing" along my experience and what I went through when my brother borrowed my GX and lost the key. Other people's experience may vary. Like you they may get a great bargain of $45.00 to reprogram the key by getting a great initial price or by shopping around, BUT if the dealer wishes to "overcharge", then well MY (IMHO) experience may be a bit helpful to others.

PS. I didn't bother to POST the directions on re-programming the key last night as, some have suggested that EVERYONE already knows how to do this already. If I'm mistaken and others still need it let me know...?
