I have an 2003 LS430 and I was wondering if this would be compatible with the vehicle

 

do you have keyless start?

 

Like the master key with out the remote? I just purchased a car but it only has the solid key without the microchip and buttons I'm looking for a remoteless key uncut so I can bring it to Lexus and have them program and cut it for me

 

If this is what your ignition looks like:


Then you would need this remote:



If you just have a regular key slot ignition, then you don't have the key-less start option. And yes, the provided key in the picture should work wth your car after it is cut to your VIN # and programmed to work on your car. \

Forgot if there was an instruction set of how to program a remote key to the LS430...

 

ok just to make sure this key I purchase should be able to unlock and lock my car from distance and open the trunk correct? I don't have to do it manually?

 

Thanks for the help everyone !!! I purchased the key and i was worried that it wouldn't =/

 

if you have the smart key, then no, the key you showed wont work on your car

 

So the key I purchased won't work for my car I'm hearing that it does

 

If you have a standard key then it will be fine. If you don't and have the smart ket system it will not work. Sounds like you have a standard key.

 

I'm lost can someone just tell me if the picture of the key I posted on Amazon will work for my car I just want to have a 3 button remote key to open and unlock my car

 

If your car does NOT have the smart key system the key you orderd will work fine. This is not confusing. Do you see the difference between the keys pictured in this thread? The one you listed is a regular key. The one king listed is a smart key. Pick the key that looks like the one you already own. The answer is based on what option your car came with. Does you car have smart key or not?

 

You have an '03 -- which wasn't available with Smart Access. The 3-button key you ordered will work, AND there are self-programming instructions so you won't need a dealer (or Techstream) to program it. You will need to have the key cut though.

 

Loll sorry but that was funny.
I believe he don't know about the smart key option that started from 04.
