Default key blanks

I see a lot of key blanks for sale on E bay.Where would one get them cut.I dont think the lexus dealer would be keen on cutting them.

You need to find a specialized service that does those keys. Not many key cutters have the machine that can cut those. I had mine done for $70 for 2 of them. I suggest you talk to a dealer who does not specialize in Lexus but has a few on his lot. He might know a person who would do that for you.

i got my spare done for $25, but its not OEM lexus blank. If you buy blank key from ebay, what about the build-in remote? Does it need to be reprogram?

I got both of my keys done for $15 and they're aftermarket Japanese kind Lexus keys. just check you yellow pages under key cutters or something like that and you'll see many. Hope that helped.

Default reprograming

IF you nuy a blank on ebay with the remote in the "top" of key you will need your orginal key (the black one) with the buttons so they can match the programing.

I cranked the key a week ago and the plastic decided to letgo of the metal portion (may have dropped the key prior but not that i can remember). So I went to my lexus dealer and inquired they gave me a pricw 189.00 for a new key I was a little unhappy about that price but what can I say, my other key is working fine right now . ....So that is the key deal according to the dealer
