Keyfob purchase and programming info
Havent seen much info on programming and purchasing of keyfobs on here so I figured I'd chime in and let everyone know about my recent purchases. Might help somoene in a big way. So, when I purchased my 2007 way back when, I only got one keyfob with the car. Recently, I read a thread of a member that lost his fob and went through the ringer with the dealer trying to get another key and his car programmed. Well, this scare the crap out of me since I was in the same shoes and went to searching. I found a seller on ebay that had the original fobs and key for $95 each and found techstream on Amazon for $35. Picked up 2 fobs and got the techstream in the mail within days. Followed the instruction on techstream and it took about 15 seconds to program each key. So total out of pocket was about 225 for everything and I have a wonderful tool in techstream. Only thing left is having the keys cut but I dont ever recall using mines so thats nothing important now. Plus the dealer can cut a key based on the vin.

What is the techstream you are talking about. I can't find anything about it. You have a link for that?
I'm looking for an extra fob for my 2008 LS600 and ES350. the LS460 you listed says it's not compatible
