I don't mind traveling as long as it can be done at a reasonable price, any help will be appreciated.

 

check your local locksmith for prices.they can order your smart key and program it for less money.2 hours for programing is bs.

 

Tin locksmith in Garden Grove is awesome. He made and programmed a new master key for my 2003. He charged me $175 and it took about ten minutes. He is very busy so you may have to wait in line but it is well worth it. His locksmith stand is near Euclid and Westminster. Awesome locksmith and really nice guy. Check out the Yelp reviews.

 

I will give him a shot, I've checked with a few locksmiths and they claim that the smart part of the key (key less start and door sensors) can only be programmed by the dealer.

 

its just a computer program they use to program it.

 

So $630 out the door for a new key? And people wonder why they call them "stealerships."

I believe you can order OEM Lexus keys at Sewell for around $100. Then just find a locksmith that knows what their doing. Make sure ALL your keys work after he's done.

 

Go to autotransponder.com they built me a brand new key cut and programmed for a little over $200
It worked perfecly. They need a close up picture of a cut key you currently have as well as the codes off the back. It arrived in a few weeks and their service was great. Recommended.
Oh, they need a picture of your registration and maybe your DL to make sure your not scamming someone too.
