Default My 1993 aussie delivered LS400
hi,

just bought a LS400 1993 australian delivered model.. lovin it so far..

only thing is it didnt come with key transponders and i noticed on the dash that you can turn on the remote key system..

so does that mean i goto lexus and give them my chassis number and they could supply some key transponders to suit my vehicle?

Think for that year you will have to trade out the alarm control box when you get the new keys. The remote is built into the keys for that model year. Best to go aftermarket be a whole lot cheaper.

A new ROM chip comes with new OEM keys - pop the new chip into the receiver in the trunk.

920? That's outrageous

273.50 at Sewell with our discount (which is still outrageous)

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...1993/2767.html

To get the discount you register and use your club Lexus login name

Sewell Lexus a Lexus dealer in Dallas, Texas, they have a web site that sells Lexus parts. I put a link. I suspect that the keys will work but not 100% sure.
