Default Wheel lock key

I bought my car used 4 months ago. I noticed today that I have no key for the lock and no key registration card. Anyone know how I can go about getting a replacement? (Without using a Lexus dealership, preferably)

Just curious, but did you check the spare tire area? There's a spot in the styrofoam tire tool tray for the wheel lock key. When I picked up my new car, I didn't know it was there and had to call the dealer to find out where the key was. My key code was in a key lock bag in the owners manual holder, but you probably already checked there.

I'm not sure if there's a way for the dealer to figure out what key code it is without that code on the bag. If not, you may need to get the old locks off via a master key. Otherwise you may need to have a shop hack them off and buy a new set.

BTW - The Toyota set is actually rebranded McGard.

Any good tire shop should be able to remove the old lock and sell you a new set. It's a Mc-Guard brand lock.
