anyone ever find a way to use an aftermarket fob and sync it with the factory keyless entry?

 

....lexus-parts sells it for a LOT less.....

 

a friend of mine worked for sewell lexus in dallas for yeaaaaaars... not anymore though.. i used to get cost +10%... wish i would have checked sooner.

i saw some other posts about mikado technologies as well. older stuff.

 

actually I just checked, transponder key from lexus-parts.com is $347 for two keys and a new chip that matches with them.. so i get an extra key but still...

time to go aftermarket...

 

I bought an aftermarket master key blank for my '97 from Ebay for $19 including shipping and had it cut for $25. Then I went to http://www.cureline.net/lex/howtos/h...m#Programming2 and programmed it according to the directions. Works like a charm. Good luck.

 

You cannot program 90-94 keys. Period. The one-button key and (ROM) chip are pre-programmed from the factory. You plug the chip into the trunk computer and the key opens the doors.

With that said, I can get you a factory one button key with chip, cut for your vehicle for about $180-$200.
