Folks -

Bought a remote for my 2000 LX470 from Ebay. Followed all the instructions. Everything checks out, but the lock/unlock buttons don't work !
Got replacement from seller (he was kind) and still same problem.

Step 10 (close door) is the last one, and door cycles lock/unlock, as noted.
But the damn thing just won't work.

Any suggestions ?
Tried searching earlier posts, and played with several alternatives (suggested for other vehicles). No luck :-(

Any help appreciated.

 

Problem resolved.

Apparently my LX470 had reached the max number of programmable remotes.
Found a new (non-dealer) Lexus/Toyota mechanic who reset the count for free !
I highly recommend this mechanic for anyone in Austin, TX.

 

I'm having the same problem. Any info on exactly what he did?

 

Not sure. He said he had to stick some reader in the LX computer, determine # of remotes programmed, and then erase all but master. Then he programmed the new one. I guess the trick is in the gadget :-(
