Question How do keys for Gen2 look like ?

Can anyone post description or picture of keys for the 2-nd generation LS400 ?
Car I'm looking at has 2 keys one is slightly bigger and has \__/ shape and
another shaped like this (__). Plus one separate remote for door/trunk.

I suppose the first one is master key and anoter one just a normal key.

Is it correct ?

The car should have a master key with a remote to lock/unlock doors and trunk back side is panic.
A second key is a service/valet key which will do doors and trunk usually is a little shorter.
This is what I have on a 1997 LS400

Vik, your correct.

Here, try to match it to this Lexus Key Chart.

95 ES's come w/ the 2 key remotes.
i'm a bit confused on how to read that thing.

According to this chart I've got 2 key set + remote ****. But what about master key ?
Is the bigger one in my set master ? Or it's just another key ?

I'm confused

Vik, your reading the chart wrong because it doesn't show a "2 Key Remote Set" or as you put it a "2 Key Set".
Just to make sure we are talking about a 2nd generation LS from the years 95-97 right?
For a 95-97 LS (2 rows) the chart clearly doesn't show a " 2 Key Remote Set" or a "Remote Master". None of the LS's in those years came with any remote functions on the key itself. Your suppose to have all the other keys from the 3rd column on. The bigger key you have should be a "Master Key". The "Master Key" will work everything which are the doors, ignition, trunk, glove box, and lock/unlock the trunk lock located inside the car near the brake release. The "Valet Key" will only work the doors and ignition. If you bought the car used you might be missing some keys which you can order with the numbers located in the chart. Sounds kind of obvious but if your still not sure which keys you have take them to your car and see which one works A-Z and which one does not.

Hope that cleared it up for you.
